Before You Leave
Before you head out, a little thoughtful preparation goes a long way in helping your cat feel secure and settled. Clear feeding instructions (amounts, timing, and any special notes), litter box locations, favorite resting spots, and typical daily routines help us maintain the comfort they’re used to. If your cat is shy, social, or somewhere in between, sharing those details allows us to approach them in a way that feels respectful and familiar. Notes about toys, treats, and enrichment preferences are always appreciated.
If medications are needed, please ensure they are clearly labeled with written instructions, and that the administration method has been reviewed. We’ll also need your veterinarian’s name, location, and phone number, along with confirmation that emergency authorization is in place and a payment method is on file. Having this settled ahead of time provides peace of mind for everyone.
For home access, please confirm key arrangements or lockbox details, along with any alarm, gate, or access instructions. Let us know if certain areas should remain closed or if there are small household quirks we should be aware of. If you’ve requested additional tasks such as mail collection, plant care, or package retrieval, outlining expectations in advance ensures everything runs smoothly.
Lastly, we’ll confirm your preferred method of communication and how you’d like updates delivered while you’re away. Please also provide a reachable emergency contact. Our goal is always to preserve your cat’s natural rhythm and routine as closely as possible. When the details are clearly shared beforehand, we’re free to focus on what matters most — calm, attentive care in the comfort of your cat’s own home.
3 Benefits of In-Home Cat Care
Reduced Stress
Cats are territorial animals. Staying in their familiar home environment helps them maintain routines, sleep patterns, and eating habits, avoiding the anxiety that often accompanies travel or boarding.
Consistent Daily RoutineFeeding, litter box habits, play, and sleep schedules remain unchanged. Maintaining a predictable routine supports both emotional and physical well-being.
Individualized AttentionIn-home care allows cats to receive one-on-one attention, tailored to their personality and needs. Boarding often requires sharing space and resources with other animals, which can increase stress and reduce comfort.
