Why
leave your cat in a small cage when you can have a Cat Chalet condo? All
of our accommodations are condos that have enough room for one person
to go in, close the full-size door, and sit down. Each condo has a clean
litter box, food and water, and 2 shelves with curtains to protect their
privacy.
Each litter box is cleaned once a day or more often depending on your
cat’s usage. To ensure your cat is staying in the cleanest possible
environment, we’ve equipped the Cat Chalet with a special ventilation
system to provide fresh and clean air daily.
Food and water is provided and changed twice a day. We provide Purina
Cat Chow dry food and Friskies or 9-Lives canned food. If you want to
bring your own food, please let us know.
You can rest assured that the Cat Chalet will take good care of your loved
one. The Cat Chalet is part of my home, therefore, there is always someone
nearby to make sure your cat is enjoying his/her visit.

We
accept kittens as long as they have had their shots. After 6 months of
age, they must be spayed or neutered. There
will be no exceptions!

Health
If your cat has a medical
condition requiring an injection, please board your cat with your vet. We do
not do injections and, therefore, cannot accept your cat(s) for boarding.
We take every measure to maintain a healthy environment for your cat while boarding
with us. However, if your cat becomes ill while in our care, we will not hesitate
to take your cat to the vet. We will keep your vet information on file so that
we can make sure your cat will get the best care possible if they become ill
in our care. There is an Emergency Veterinarian Service across the street from
the Cat Chalet in case your vet cannot be reached or none is provided
Vaccinations
We
require all of our clients to bring a current record of rabies and
distemper vaccination. All cats must be free of external parasites. This is
to benefit all our clients. Cats showing signs of fleas or ticks will be bathed
at the owner's expense before being admitted to the facility.
Medications
On request, we will administer
oral or topical medications for $5.00 a night, per cat, which will be added
to your bill. All directions must be in writing.
Reservations
Please
call well in advance for a reservation. Call Monday through Friday,
9 AM - 12 noon and 3 PM to 6 PM, Saturday, 9 AM - 12 noon, and Sunday, 9 AM
- 10 AM.
Visits
Visits to boarding pets
by owners or designated people are permitted but not normally recommended. It
is often very disturbing and stressful for your cat who is trying to adjust
to a new place. After your visit, the cat may often cry for days or not eat
properly, therefore, it makes it difficult for us to make your cat’s stay
enjoyable. They will remember you when you return.
If
you wish to arrange a visit with your pet, please schedule one in advance. A
10 minute visit is all that we can allow.
Favorite
toys, food dish or blanket
You
can bring your own toys and small towel or clothing that can be laundered and
that will fit neatly in the condo. We do not wash everyday, therefore, sometimes
we may send back items dirty in a plastic bag.
Please don't bring food dishes. We have our own system to sanitize the food
and water bowls. Please do not bring large items like a carpeted condo or a
scratching post, but you can bring your kitty's favorite toy. You may also bring
a shirt with your scent on it, which lasts about a day, but we will remove items
if they become dirty. We cannot be responsible if the item gets lost, damaged,
discolored, or bleached in the laundry.
Also, if your cat drops any of its toys, including its mouse, in the litter
box, the toy will be discarded with the litter. Cleanliness is a strict policy
for the Cat Chalet, and we want your cat’s stay to be healthy and happy.
Litter
box problems
We do accept outside cats
or cats that don’t use the litter box. We will simply clean up any messes
that occur.
Food
and water
If you don't want to change your cat’s diet, you can bring
your own food. Please bring your cat’s food along with written instructions.
We also have a refrigerator for perishables. Your instructions will be noted
on the card attached to your cat's condo. There is no extra charge for giving
your cat your food or ours. It takes more time for the employee who is feeding
the cats to give your special food, but we are happy to do it and do it for
no charge.
Touring the Cat Chalet
If you would like to take
a tour of the Cat Chalet, call us at 973-989-6160. We will be happy to schedule
a tour anytime during business hours except on Sundays and busy pre-holiday
check-ins when there simply is not enough time for you to experience our facility.
Day
of discharge
If
you know that your pet gets carsick, please let us know and we will be sure
not to feed him/her right before you will be picking up to avoid car sickness.
The
Cat Chalet always provides your pet with plenty of fresh water.
Please do not give your pet access to a lot of water or food when they arrive
home. Although you may think that your pet is very thirsty, in actuality it
is anxiousness and excitement that makes your pet gorge on food and water. This
could cause vomiting and diarrhea, so we encourage you to allow your pet to
settle at home for a while before giving him or her any food or water.

facility that will assure customers that their cats will be treated like one
of the family. Working in the feline care industry is not new to Spreder-Mohr
