Confirm your cat’s room, care arrangements, dates and total cost in writing. These are operator-published options; we have not visited or assessed the facilities.
Cat boarding options to check
Operator pages checked 7 September 2026. These are published service descriptions, not live availability or a PattayaPets recommendation. We have not visited or assessed these facilities.
Confirm the booking facts
Ask the operator directly whether it accepts cats on your dates, the exact room type, total price and deposit or cancellation terms. Get the legal or trading name, physical address, emergency contact and written confirmation. A directory listing is not a live availability feed.
Inspect cat housing
Look for secure double-door handling, clean and intact surfaces, ventilation and temperature control, hiding and elevated resting places, separation from dogs and unfamiliar cats, individual litter and feeding arrangements, and a plan that prevents escape during cleaning. Ask how wellbeing and food, water, urine and stool are recorded.
Health and outbreak questions
The Association of Shelter Veterinarians' standards provide a useful care benchmark for population settings. Ask which vaccination and parasite records are required, how coughing, diarrhoea, vomiting or skin disease are handled, how animals are isolated, and which veterinarian is contacted. The facility's rule does not replace your own vet's advice.
Medication and emergencies
If medication is needed, provide the original labelled container and written instructions from the prescribing veterinarian. Confirm who may administer it, how each dose is logged and what happens if it is refused or vomited. Put emergency authority, spending limits and contacts in writing.
Use a handover record for each cat
Ask the boarding provider to acknowledge the information it receives and arrangements it agrees to. Keep health decisions with the cat’s veterinarian.
| Record | Agree before drop-off |
|---|---|
| Identity | Cat’s name and identification; owner, backup and regular clinic. |
| Routine | Exact food product and supplied amount, agreed feeding instructions and litter preference. |
| Medicine | Original labelled supply, veterinary instructions, who administers it and the administration record. |
| Housing | Actual enclosure or room, separation arrangements and response if the assigned space changes. |
| Escalation | When you will be contacted, veterinary destination and who can authorise care. |
| Collection | Authorised collector, date, unused supplies and written care record to return. |
Photograph labelled supplies at handover and reconcile them at collection. A room photograph alone does not show overnight staffing or medicine handling.
Trial and handover
For a longer stay, ask whether a short trial is appropriate. Supply the cat's identification, carrier, routine, diet, veterinary details and signed authority. At collection, request the daily record and ask about any change in eating, drinking, toileting, medication or behaviour.
Source and review boundary
Care benchmark: ASV Guidelines for Standards of Care. Checked 1 August 2026. We did not perform a clinical protocol review or certify a Pattaya facility.
Frequently asked
Does a listing prove a cattery has space?
No. Confirm current cat acceptance, exact dates, room type and price directly and in writing.
What should I inspect in cat housing?
Check escape controls, cat-only separation, clean surfaces, ventilation and temperature, hiding and elevated rest, litter arrangements and daily monitoring records.
Can boarding staff give medication?
Policies and competence vary. Confirm who administers it, how doses are logged and the escalation plan with the prescribing veterinarian.
Which vaccinations are required?
The facility sets entry rules and your veterinarian sets patient care. Obtain both in writing and resolve any conflict before booking.
What should I collect after the stay?
Ask for the daily record and any changes in food, water, toileting, medication, health or behaviour.
