HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
Please note:
- We need a copy of the following vet records for items listed #1 and #2 prior to check in to confirm reservation.
- If you have a copy, please scan/send email to us at this address. Otherwise, your veterinarian's receptionist staff will usually email them directly to us.
- Reservations are finalized when veterinary records are received.
- Once we receive your vet records for items # 1 and # 2 and your confirmation re: # 3 and # 4, your reservation will be solidified.
- If you have a vet appointment in place for near future, just reply and let us know when to expect the records and we'll follow up with your final confirmation email and we will keep your reservation.
- However, vaccines must be administered by veterinarians atleast 1 week prior to stay at hotel.
| Pounce - Cat Boarding Health Requirements |
# 1. We require that all cats staying with us at the hotel be up-to-date on their FVRCP and Rabies vaccination (or titer).
# 2. We require proof of negative FeLV (feline leukemia virus) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) blood test
# 3. Cats need to be flea-free before staying at the hotel.
- This may be either a 3 year or 1 year vaccine.
- We recommend asking your vet for adjuvant-free vaccines (ex/PureVax) to decrease the risk of adverse effects.
- Cats who do not have the rabies vaccine must present an exemption note from your veterinarian to be shared with us. Oftentimes, veterinarians/pet guardians choose to limit vaccinations in senior cats for the benefit of the cat's health.
# 2. We require proof of negative FeLV (feline leukemia virus) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) blood test
- This is required because we have a shared/community lounge space.
- If your cat is vaccinated for FeLV, they most likely started with a 'negative' result.
# 3. Cats need to be flea-free before staying at the hotel.
- Please help us keep our hotel free of flea infestation and safe for all of our kitty guests. One flea can turn into hundreds!
- All guests must be current on flea medication (which, topically, is given every 28-30 days)
- If they have not been treated in last 30 days, you will need to do so prior to check in or we are happy to apply in-house. We offer Activyl flea treatment for a $20. charge.
- If you opt for us not to treat for fleas and we find a flea, we have to give administer a Capstar pill, which is $20. This will instantly kill the fleas that are currently on them.
