Welcome to Kitty City
Upscale and affordable boarding for cats in Blue Springs and surrounding Kansas City areas. |

Accommodations
Cat Boarding Condos are in a quiet and cozy "cats only" area completely separate from our canine camp, hospital wards, and treatment areas. Cats enjoy bright and cheerful condos, each with a large exterior window overlooking a garden and aviary. While boarding in their condos, cats love to climb up on the benches and sun bathe or watch the birds feed.
Activities
If your cat is active and enjoys exploring new places, we have an indoor glass play area which overlooks the kitty reception area and fish tank.
Cats love to climb around the carpeted kitty jungle gyms and swipe at the toy catnip mice. Cats can climb up high and supervise activities in the reception area while entertaining our hospital clients in the cat waiting area through the glass window.
More sedentary cats enjoy napping in the sun and being held and petted by one of our cat loving pet resort counselors.
Whether your cat is outgoing and loves to play, or shy and needs a gentle touch, we will make them as happy as possible during their visit.

Professional Staff
Cats are cared for by a team of dedicated and attentive pet lovers who pamper the guests with attention and TLC.
Pet Resort Manager Jamie Chrisman is a veterinary school graduate who chose the Pet Resort as a career over practicing veterinary medicine. Jamie is a Level 1 Certified Pet Care Technician by the Pet Care Services Association (formerly American Boarding Kennel Association). Under Jamie's leadership all Pet Resort staff are trained in basic pet care and safety, disease prevention, and animal behavior. They participate in regular meetings and training activities and become quite knowledgeable and experienced in caring for pets.
Whether your pet is outgoing and loves to play, or shy and needs a gentle touch, the staff are there to meet all their needs and to make them as happy as possible during their visit. |

Routine Health Monitoring and On-Site Veterinarians
The Pet Resort staff is well-trained to routinely monitor cats carefully, keeping records of appetite, urination, bowel movements, and watching closely for signs of a health concern. If there is ever a problem, our veterinarians are just steps away.
Special Medical Needs
We are able to provide boarding care for cats with medical needs, such as insulin injections, oral medications, SQ fluids, eye or ear medications, and most other special needs.
Please make us aware of such special medical concerns or treatments when booking your reservations. There is no extra charge in most cases. |

Preventative Health Requirements
Blue Springs Pet Resort has strict health requirements for all boarding pets for a very good reason - we are committed to keeping your pet safe and healthy! If we failed to require protection against contagious diseases and parasites, we could not promise your pet the safest environment possible. Our standards are high, but we hope you will see that as a strong advantage to boarding your pet with us.
All cats in Kitty City must be current on the routine preventative health care for contagious diseases listed in the table to the right. To ensure quality control and adequate protection, vaccinations and parasite testing must be provided by a licensed veterinarian.
- If your pet is a patient at our hospital, we will already be familiar with your pet's wellness care and medical history.
- If your pet is under the care of another veterinary hospital, please bring a copy of the records/receipt. Pets will not be admitted without proof of vaccinations and parasite testing.
- If your pet is not current, we welcome your appointment in advance or at the time of boarding to update your pet.

Cleanliness and Sanitation
Cats are finicky about being clean - and we agree! All Cat Boarding Condos are cleaned and sanitized with antibacterial detergent at least once daily, with additional clean ups as needed through the day.
We have a commercial dishwasher (like those used in school cafeterias) to wash and disinfect bowls, toys, and other non-porous items. Litter boxes are scrubbed and disinfected with antibacterial detergent. For bedding and towels, we use a commercial washer and dryer with bleach treatment.
We maintain healthy air and odor control with separate heating and air conditioning systems and separate exhaust fans for each room.
Our staff is educated and trained in the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment for our guests! |

Fine Dining
We strongly recommend that you bring your pet's regular food to avoid the tummy upset that can occur with sudden diet changes. If you choose to have us furnish the food, your pet will be fed premium quality iVet dry food. The daily cat boarding rate is the same whether we feed your food or our food.
If you bring your pet's regular food, please bring only an amount appropriate for the length of the stay. Dry food should be transferred into zip lock bags or a plastic container. Do not bring the original bag. Please allow us to provide dishes for your pet. Our dishes can be sanitized in our commercial dishwasher.
Our counselors like to give out treats! You may bring treats or other special goodies for your pet, but please only bring items which they are accustomed to eating at home to avoid tummy upsets.

Personal Belongings
We recommend that you allow us to provide bedding and toys. Our bedding is laundered daily in our commercial washer and dryer.
If you choose to bring personal bedding please limit it to one piece per pet. Personal bedding should be no larger than the size of a bath towel. No stuffed or foam bedding which can not be laundered, please.
We provide toy mice for cats which can be washed and sanitized in our dishwasher. If you bring personal toys, please limit to two toys per pet.
All personal items must be labeled in permanent marker with your name and your pet's name. |

Note: Due to problems with motion sickness,
cats may not bring record players. Sorry! :-)
