If you're looking for cat boarding in York, you'll naturally want to know exactly what happens when your cat stays at a boarding cattery. At Snowlandia, we understand that leaving your cat can feel like a big decision, especially if it's their first stay away from home.
Our aim is to make every visit as calm and stress-free as possible, both for your cat and for you. From the moment you book until the day you collect them, we'll provide the care, routine and attention they need to feel safe and comfortable.
Booking your cat's stay is straightforward. Once you've contacted us to check availability, we'll discuss your preferred dates and any individual requirements your cat may have.
Before arrival, please make sure:
Your cat's vaccinations are up to date.
You bring your vaccination certificate.
You let us know about any medication or special dietary requirements.
You tell us about your cat's personality, routine and any particular likes or dislikes.
The more we know about your cat, the better we can make their stay feel familiar and reassuring.
When you arrive at Snowlandia, we'll welcome both you and your cat and answer any final questions before helping them settle into their accommodation.
Some cats are naturally curious and begin exploring straight away. Others prefer to take things more slowly. Every cat is different, so we allow them to settle at their own pace without unnecessary disturbance.
Our priority on arrival is to help each guest feel safe, secure and relaxed in their new surroundings.
Cats generally appreciate routine and quiet surroundings.
Rather than forcing interaction, we allow each cat to become familiar with their accommodation in their own time. Gentle reassurance, familiar feeding routines and a calm environment all help reduce stress and encourage confidence.
Many owners are pleasantly surprised by how quickly their cats settle once they realise they are safe and well cared for.
Every day follows a consistent routine to help cats feel secure.
Throughout the day your cat will receive:
Fresh food and clean drinking water.
A clean, comfortable living area.
Daily health and welfare checks.
Individual attention suited to their personality.
Plenty of opportunity to rest and relax in peaceful surroundings.
Some cats enjoy interaction and affection, while others simply prefer a quiet environment. We always respect your cat's individual character and never force attention.
We provide quality wet and dry food for all of our guests.
If your cat has a preferred brand of food or follows a specialist diet, you're very welcome to provide their usual food for the duration of their stay. Maintaining familiar routines can help some cats settle more quickly.
Fresh water is available at all times.
If your cat requires medication, please let us know before booking.
Where appropriate, we are happy to administer medication according to your instructions. We also welcome older cats and those with additional care requirements, provided we can safely meet their individual needs.
Please contact us if you'd like to discuss your cat's circumstances before making a booking.
To help us care for your cat, please remember to bring:
Their current vaccination certificate.
Any medication they require.
Their usual food if they follow a specialist diet.
Any written care instructions you'd like us to follow.
Some owners also like to bring a familiar blanket or item from home, although many cats settle perfectly well without one.
When it's time to collect your cat, we'll let you know how they have settled during their stay and answer any questions you may have.
Most cats are pleased to see their owners again and quickly return to their normal home routine. Some may prefer a little quiet time while they readjust, which is perfectly normal after boarding.
