I know it is stressful to the cats to board them away from home, but for me personally i could not rest leaving them at home in the hands of others, i would be scared something might happen to them and they cannot be found or whatever, so i would choose a cattery, so far i have not done it since i have had the four of them and i do dread the thought.

What i did was i checked out every cattery in my city, there are about nine maybe, and decided out of them all only two of them were good enough for my furbabies. I have one very close to me just down from the vets, but it is below my standards, not going there for sure.

I looked for a place with no dogs, as they also would be terrified, adding to their stress, whether they had private outdoor places ,not shared with other cats,the atmosphere, how clean and modern it was, what food was offered, if they medicate cats, vet on site or close,electric blankets offered, those sort of things, there are no exact luxury cattery's in my city, but some nice ones that are purffectly adequate, my dream is to open the cities first ever total luxury small and private cattery, ah well dreams are free

If i ever board them it will cost me a small fortune at least 36 dollars per day, that is quite a lot, so hence we don't go away, have not been away since Lexie which is around 7 years except for one night stay, my daughter and son looked after the kitties that time around.

Good luck with your search.
