Sending your cat to a hotel doesn’t have to be stressful — preparation makes all the difference.

🧳 Essential Checklist

Before boarding, prepare:

Cat food (enough for entire stay)

Litter (if brand-sensitive)

Vaccination record

Medication (with clear instructions)

Familiar item (blanket or toy)

🐱 Help Your Cat Adjust Faster

Use a familiar carrier

Keep drop-off calm (no long goodbyes)

Avoid changing food right before boarding

Inform staff about your cat’s personality

🧠 What We Observe During Boarding

Cats usually:

Hide on day 1

Start eating normally by day 2

Become comfortable after routine settles

This is normal behavior, not sadness.
