FAQs

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 3 days before your reservation start date. The presence of fleas on untreated cats incurs a $120 sanitation charge per reservation and a $50 flea treatment fee per cat applied upon checkout. For treated cats still shedding flea waste, a $65 sanitation charge per reservation is 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.

What is your daily care for the kitties and do they get to come out and play?

At Chats de Thé, we prioritize enriching experiences for our guests, from providing copious toys to lots of love from our attentive staff!

Our Daily Care:

• provide feeding (based upon your kitty's schedule, upon request we have an automatic wet/dry feeder if needed)

• clean litter boxes, refresh water

• clean and tidy the suite

• 15 minutes of dedicated playtime that can take place inside or outside the suite

• brushing (upon request)

• complimentary treats

Once all suites and other duties have been attended to we will spend extra time with each kitty and give them additional time to explore! For perfect sunbathing and real-time people watching, our lobby area is the perfect hangout spot. Our red carpet hallway is great for zoomies and lounging. For a quiet and peaceful setting our upstairs landing makes a great spot for kitties to "survey their kingdom".
