At Pets Are Inn, we understand that leaving your cat behind while you’re away can be difficult. That’s why we provide a thoughtful and comfortable alternative to traditional boarding facilities. Your cat will stay in a loving, private home environment, where they receive individualized attention and care.
In most cases, your cat will be the only cat in the home, as we understand that most cats prefer not to share their space with other animals. Please contact your local franchise for more details specific to your area.
** Note: Our Plano and McKinney/Frisco, TX franchises typically do not offer cat boarding services. Please contact those locations directly for more information.
Cat Boarding Process
We take great care in placing your cat with the right host family. Here’s how it works:
- When you call to make a reservation, we’ll conduct a phone interview to gather important information about your cat’s personality, habits and needs
- Based on this interview, we carefully match your cat with a host family who can provide the care
- On the day of boarding, Pets are Inn provides mandatory transportation and will deliver your cat safely to their temporary home
- Please note that we do not board unaltered (not spayed/neutered) adult cats
Before You Go
To ensure your cat’s comfort and safety, please take the following steps before their stay:
- Trim your cat’s front claws, especially if they are not declawed
- Review our packing list and be sure to send all necessary items, including food, litter, and any medications
- If you do not own a cat carrier, please inform us in advance so we can provide one
Health and Safety
Your cat’s well-being is our top priority. Should your cat become ill during their stay:
- We will contact your regular veterinarian for advice and care
- If necessary, we will use one of our affiliated emergency clinics to ensure 24-hour access to treatment
- Your car will never be confined to a cage. Instead, they will have the freedom to roam, rest, and explore in a safe, welcoming home
- We place cats only in homes where the host is present for a significant portion of each day, ensuring your pet receives the attention and care they deserve
Checking In During the Stay
If you’d like an update on your cat while you’re away:
