We use fear free techniques to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress and create an experience that is more enjoyable and safer for the cats who board at the Cat Cottage at B&B Farm.
We are not like traditional boarding facilities or vet hospitals; you will be disappointed if this is your expectation. We are cats-only, and we are force free. We do not use condos; cats get their own bedrooms with lovely views of the farm. In addition to feline decor, there is human furniture in the rooms that cats can hide under if they’re feeling insecure. We respect a cat’s boundaries and wait for their consent before approaching or touching.
We sometimes will get a notice from a client that they are running late because they can’t catch their cat. So traumatic and not how we want their visit to start.
After being pampered and relaxed during their stay, we need to get them ready for check out. Please note that we do not wrangle cats into their carriers. They either willingly go into their carriers or the owner will need to come inside and get them loaded. We will help carry everything out of the house and place inside your vehicle. If this sounds inconvenient then we are not the facility for you, even though your cats might love it.
Well ahead of your scheduled boarding date (would prefer that it be all the time), please work on training your cat to be comfortable going into their carrier without resistance. You can do it!! Here are some tips to set them up for success.
