Cat Owners Let Kitty Stay Home or Relax at a Boarding Facility While on Vacation

PR Log (Press Release) – Jul 12, 2008 – Long Island, NY - Summer means one thing: vacations  While some cat owners take their feline friend on the road with them, others decide to leave kitty at home or at a boarding facility. Making Your Cat’s Summer A Fun and Safe Time an ebook published by PURRsonals.com, the leading cats-only social networking web site for both cat owners and their cats, explores the options cat owners have when they can’t take kitty on a faraway exotic locale.

The options cat owners have when they can’t take kitty on vacation with them are:
--To ask a relative, neighbor or friend to pet sit your cat
--Hire a pet sitter
--Board your cat at your vet’s clinic or a boarding facillity

“While you can ask a neighbor or relative to look after your cat, a professional pet sitter usually will provide more attention and spend quality time with your cat,” said Sonny Crane, founder of PURRsonals.com.

Once a cat owner decides to hire a pet sitter, it’s good to get recommendations for a pet sitter from a friend who has used a pet sitter, your vet or one of the professional pet sitter associations. Before going on vacation the owner should have the pet sitter come over and meet their cat, and go over what the cat eats, likes to play with, medicines, and other information the pet sitter  will need to make their job easier.

If a pet sitter is not an option and  kitty is to relax at a boarding facility, the owner can choose to board them at their veterinary clinic if offered, a cats-only boarding facility or a general boarding kennel with a separate section for cats. “Boarding your cat can be an enjoyable experience if you take a few of his belongings–a favorite toy, his bed, food bowl, treats and even something with your scent on it–with him,” said Crane.
