I work at a boarding kennel - and the kitties get tummy rubs and affection, you bet!
Ted, one of the owners, will take a scared new kitty into our plant-filled sunroom(all non-toxic to kitties), and spend a little quality time with them to help them relax.
Rule of thumb - ALWAYS take a tour of any kennel or cattery you are thinking of using!

Laura, I didn't finish reading all the posts, so forgive me if I'm repeating something, here. But, check out www.petsit.com and contact some pet sitters in your area. Even if you don't want them coming into your home, you might find someone who can help in their own home or offer up another idea.
This is how I found my petsitter, who has been coming into my home for over 5 years now. She has a key to the house. My animals know her and love her, and I feel much better when I have to leave overnight. What a blessing she has been for all of us, especially for Murphy, who could not have stood being boarded in the late stages of her life.
Best of luck to you and Amy!
