Kitty Cottage

Upon kitty's arrival, we need to devote our entire attention to our new guest and family to ensure that we have the complete health and lifestyle information we need to provide optimum kitty care. Kitty and family also need time to get kitty comfortable for his or her stay. On check-out day, we'll want to be sure none of his or her comforts of home are forgotten.

For the comfort and safety of all of our guests, we require receipts showing that your kitty is current with rabies, FeLV, and distemper. We require that your kitty receives an application of a flea treatment that kills flea eggs. We recommend Advantage, Frontline, Revolution, or Bravecto.

You will need a vet's documentation of the required vaccination's, any medication's your kitty may be taking and your kitty's favorite cat food. Favorite toys, blankets, scratch posts, etc., from home are welcome. In addition to these day-to-day items, it is helpful and comforting to bring something that smells like you, such as a t-shirt or scarf. We'll also need an itinerary with phone numbers where you can be reached as well as a local contact person in case we are unable to reach you.

We are experienced at medication administration, including pills, oral liquids, eye and ear medications, insulin, and subcutaneous fluids. There is a fee of $1 per administration for oral or topical medication administration, $3 per administration for inhaler, nebulizer, or injection medications, $5 per administration for sub-q fluid administration and wound dressing changes.

If your cat showed signs of not feeling well, we would first contact you and then your veterinarian. If your vet could not be reached, we would take him or her to Tufts Veterinary Emergency Treatment & Specialties in Walpole. We suggest that you leave credit card information and instructions with your vet before you leave.
