• Cat guest houses have attractive prices, if we use them regularly - we can count on discounts. A cat's stay in a guesthouse is usually PLN 12-30 / day.
• Cat boarding houses usually do not accept more than 10 kittens at a time to ensure appropriate conditions and care at the highest level.
• Animals placed in boarding houses most often have to be flea-free and dewormed, so the risk that our pet catches something is negligible.

Like everything, cat guest houses also have their drawbacks:

• We leave the cat in a new, unknown place - the pet may have a problem with acclimatization, after the owners return, he will be offended by them.
• We need to check the guesthouse personally selected before we leave a favorite there. Very rarely, but there are cases when everything looks very professional at first glance, only after picking up your favorite it turns out that he is scared, not treated well, starved and the place where he stayed was not cleaned.

Tip:

If there is a possibility for the cat to stay at home with another family member or friend during your absence - use it, because it's good everywhere, but it's best at home

If, on the other hand, it is necessary to place your pet in a cat's guesthouse, check carefully that the place you choose meets your expectations, because no one likes to sleep in a middle-class hotel, where the bedding is dirty, the service is unpleasant, and there may be a cockroach around the corner.

Be sure to go to the cat guesthouse, check the conditions there, ask to show the box where your favorite would live, read the opinions on the Internet and don't worry

most of the cat boarding houses are high-class places with the best care, but there are exceptions, and the prudent one is always insured.
