670.0. "Kitty Boarding Help" by TSG::MCGOVERN (Szechuan Vanilla) Fri Jul 17 1987 10:31

    I am going on vacation for the first two weeks of August and need
    a place to board my two cats (Pretty Kitty, 2 yr old spayed female
    and Aloysius F. Domesticus, 9 wk old male high-speed furball.) 
    
    Can anyone recommend a boarding place, or help me out by caring
    for my kitties for the time we're gone?  Finances are not a problem
    (although I don't want to get hosed off by some "kennel".)
    
    Thanks for any ideas.

    to place the felines well.

    Michael,
    I've never boarded a cat, but we did used to board our dog
    (no longer with us) at MacGee's in Marlboro (I'm sure you
    know where it is if you're in Marlboro).
    
    Let me know if you find a place/someone - I'm close by,
    right in Stow.

    There's a place called 'CATNAPS' in Berlin, opened last October.
    $6/Day.  I've never used it, but the owner, Nancy, sounds like
    a real cat person.

    Re .4:
    
    I had to take a hurried vacation, and ended up taking my little
    ones to Catnaps.
    
    My opinion:  a nice place.  The cat-villa is a separate building
    from the house, with fiberglass cages for each cat.  Each cat is
    given two "recreation" periods per day in a special area.  The owner
    is careful to make sure the cats she accepts have been immunized
    and are healthy.
    
    IOf we can't find a bonded cat-sitter when we go to Florida this
    fall, we'll usae Catnaps again.
