ARNOLD CREEK CAT RETREAT Your cat's home away from home. |

|
What To Bring |
| The rooms at Arnold Creek Cat Retreat vary slightly in size, but are approximately 6' by 4' wide. All of the rooms are 7' high, so that we can walk into them. |
You may bring almost any personal items you wish for your cat to have in his/her room. All rooms are furnished with fleece throws, fleece beds, ceramic food and water dishes, and a litter box with clumping clay litter. A stool, covered with a fleece throw, is provided in each room, offering a place for nervous kitties to hide. If you forget your kitty's toys, we can provide them. |
| We strongly recommend you to bring something that has your scent on it - for example: recently worn clothing or a pillow case (if your kitty sleeps in bed with you). This often helps them settle. |
| We provide Royal Canin dry food and a variety of canned foods at NO additional cost. If your kitty is accustommed to a different kind of food, please bring it with you - a storage container with a lid works better than a plastic bag. |
| The temperature in the Cat Retreat is usually kept between 68 and 72 degrees, so most cats are toastie warm. If your kitty needs an additional heat source, we can heat the microwavable heat discs that can be inserted into cat beds to help older cats maintain body heat. |
| Please bring all medications, special diets and treats that your cats will need while at the Cat Retreat. Clear instructions on medications, doses, etc. can be written on the Registration Form. |
What NOT To Bring |
| Cats with a viral upper respiratory infection: |
| If your cat develops an abrupt onset of sneezing, watery eye discharge, or nasal congestion just prior to their scheduled boarding time, we may decline to board them. This decision would be made in consultation with your veterinarian. Upper respiratory infections (URI's) are highly contagious between cats. Since no vaccine provides 100% protection against these viral infections, an infected cat could cause illness in other boarders. |
| Fleas: |
| Please make sure your cat is free of fleas when he/she arrives at the Cat Retreat. Our policy on fleas - if we see fleas on your cat or evidence of fleas (flea droppings) in your cat's room, we immediately apply Advantage to your cat, disinfect their room and launder their bedding. If you decline permission for us to apply Advantage to treat fleas, you or your local contact person will be required to make arrangements to pick up your cat immediately. |
| Plug-in Heat Pads or Portable Heaters: |
| For safety reasons, we are not able to use these appliances in the Cat Retreat. |
| Credit Cards: |
| At this time, we only accept checks or cash. Credit cards incur processing fees, which in turn, increase our operating costs and ultimately our fees. |
