This area of our resort is secluded and in one of more quiet buildings where no dogs are boarded.  It has extra sound proofing and is behind two consecutive entry doors to ensure comfort and security.  It is heated with central air conditioning as well and under 24 hour surveillance through our ADT security system just like all other areas of the resort.

Exotic Pets: Exotics receive the same meticulous care given to all our other guests.  Playtime for one on one time with our affectionate and attentive staff is always available.  And for the more aloof pet consistent care including visual inspections and communication with staffers while cleaning and feeding is the mission.

This area is separate from cats and dogs. Reptiles, birds and rodents have separate rooms as well.  We have experience with snakes, iguanas, parrots, rabbits, guinea pigs, and lots of other small pets.

Feline Special Care and Handling - Medical problems which can affect your cat's health or comfort will be referred to a veterinarian. Other problems or conditions we notice during your pet's visit will be explained to you when you pick up your pet.

We know from experience that boarding is a little harder on the seniors of the feline world , convalescing cats and first time boarders of any age. For cats on several medications, or with certain health conditions, or behavior problems this may be mandatory. Therefore we have made special provisions for their needs.  Note: Cats that require special care or special handling will be charged an additional fee, commensurate with the type of care required. This care may be considered mandatory for boarding. 

Quiet, cozy atmosphere
Careful monitoring of eliminations & behavior
Fussing with diet and hand feeding if needed
Attention to daily hygiene-baths if needed
Lots of TLC!

Feline Special Handling:   Some cats require special handling of some kind during boarding or grooming. If we find this out after accepting your cat pet for boarding you will most likely be charged a special handling fee. 

 

 

Examples of Special Handling:

  • The older cat that cannot be picked up or carried or must wear a harness to be walked.

  • The timid or shy cat that requires a calm, slow hand in order to become familiar with cattery routines.

  • The ‘fear-biter’, similar to above, but bites.

  • A territorial cat that won’t allow admittance to his/her room

  • A cat that requires a second handler in order to have grooming procedures done.

    Important! Aggressive, difficult to handle cats, may not be accepted for boarding, if you have concerns, please discuss this prior to making your reservation.
