01
What health requirements must my cat meet to board at Chats de Thé?
All guests must be in good health, free of contagious diseases, and flea-free. As consideration for our other fabulous guests, please ensure you provide your cats a flea treatment at least 2 days before your reservation start date. The presence of fleas incurs a $100 sanitation charge per reservation and a $50 flea treatment fee per cat applied upon checkout.
Cats must also be fully vaccinated, including the FVRCP 4-Way Vaccination and Rabies (1 or 3-Year Variety). For cats that are exclusively indoors and have a written note from their vet, we will waive the rabies vaccine requirement.
A snap test for FIV and FeLV within 6 months of reservation is required for outdoor cats, and all cats over 3 months must be spayed or neutered. Proof from a veterinarian is needed, and documentation can be sent via email or presented during check-in. A daily fee of $10 is charged for administering medication per cat (no injectables) and will be applied during check out.
