What to bring

1. Please bring a certificate, receipt, or other documentation from your veterinarian to prove that your cat is up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccinations. You may also ask your vet’s office to call us with this information before your cat arrives.

2. We ask that all cats travel to Catnip Hill in a pet carrier. This makes check-in and check-out much easier and more secure.

3. You should bring your cat’s bed or blanket, or some spare towels or pillows to use as bedding, since there are no soft furnishings in our guest rooms. The familiar smells will also help your cat relax. If any cat arrives with no bedding or what we consider inadequate bedding, we will loan out fleece blankets from our emergency supply and charge a one-time laundry fee of $5.00.

4. It’s a good idea to bring enough of your cat’s usual food to last throughout the stay (canned food encouraged). You’re also welcome to bring special treats or snacks. If you decide not to bring food, please be aware that your cat may suffer digestive upsets or refuse to eat due to a sudden change of diet (it’s not possible for us to keep every brand and flavor of cat food on hand all the time). In this case we will provide two to three meals of premium canned food per day, for $2.00 per cat per day.
