Cat Lounge Policies
Welcome to Paws & Claws, where we cherish our feline friends and go the extra mile to ensure their stay is delightful. Upon check-in at our main office, you can guide your cat through a dedicated entrance, ensuring a peaceful, dog-free environment, free from barking noises or potential interactions with other pets. We’re committed to providing a stress-free and enjoyable experience for your cat throughout their stay.

- Mats, litter boxes, and litter that is kept clean throughout their stay

Vaccination Requirements for Cats
- Rabies
- FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia aka feline distemper)
- Feeding: You are required to bring your pet’s food in sealed ziplock bags (one per meal we feed twice daily) and labeled with your pet’s first and last name. We want to operate efficiently and provide the exact measurements you want for your pet. Please do not bring bags as we do not have space to accommodate. There will be a charge of $5 per day if meals are not individually bagged. We can accommodate any special diets owners bring including refrigeration.
Important Details you Need to Know
- Staff needs to be 100% comfortable handling a cat in order for a cat to be allowed access to the play area. Some cats acclimate within a matter of hours; others prefer to stay in their condo for the duration of their stay. We only allow cats social time if we feel confident in their behavior with both staff and other cats.
- Due to this social environment, there are risks associated with allowing your cat to stay in our cat lounge. Scratches, bites, broken bones (from jumping on climbing posts and ledges), etc. are all real risks. Please keep this in mind and only book the boarding option if you do not feel comfortable with this.
- We ask when possible, that cats wear a collar for identification purposes as some cats may look alike.
- Paws & Claws will immediately notify you if we notice your cat has fleas. We’ll have to give your cat a CapStar for which there will be a one time $20 charge.
- Diarrhea or loss of appetite caused by the stress of being away from home and in a new environment is always a possibility. Cats that we haven’t seen before, cats staying for extended periods of time, and cats that are immunocompromised, are more likely to experience these problems.
