FAQs

Why aren’t cats allowed to mingle?

Veterinarians never mix cats from different families. Having to find their place in a constantly changing social group causes stress in many cats.

Do you ever let the cats out into the common area?

Yes, cats are let out of their rooms frequently but on an individual basis. Long-term boarders will be invited to spend as much time out of their room as feasible because the longer the boarding stay the more attention a cat needs.  Long stay cats are expected to help with chores such as dusting, dishes and laundry.

My cat likes a fresh litter box. How often do you scoop?

Always twice a day at the very least and more often as needed. Older cats and diabetic cats need it more often. Some highly fragrant cats will receive immediate attention.

Why do you not require rabies or feline leukemia vaccinations?

Cats from different families will never mingle and there is no possibility of exposure to bats so the risk of exposure to these diseases (or FIV) on our premises is zero. We stringently require proof of up-to-date vaccination against the air-borne diseases (FVRCP).

We have a large cat family. Can you accommodate us?

For larger families, or for house-mates who need a bit more elbow room, we have cat doors between a few of the rooms so a large family can use two adjoining rooms.

Do you have an outdoor enclosure?

No, not at this time.

Can I board my diabetic cat with you?

We do not board diabetic cats at this time.

Why does my *indoor* cat need a flea preventive when I know he/she doesn’t have fleas?

This is for everyone’s protection and to ensure that fleas are never an issue.  Please note that Advantage is no longer effective.  Revolution, Bravecto, Credilio and Program are all safe and effective.  Zodiac is NEVER recommended because of safety concerns.

What if my cat needs a veterinary exam during his/her stay? How is that handled?

If, in the opinion of Dr. Baillie, your cat needs a veterinary exam, you will be contacted, if possible, and he/she will be taken to your veterinarian. We request that you make financial arrangements with your veterinarian before boarding your cat and that your veterinarian understands your wishes regarding medical treatment while you are away.

What if I phone or email or fill out a reservation form and don’t hear back from you?

We always try to respond within 24 hours but if you don’t hear from us please call or email us

My cat Hank and I agree. We can't think of any way that Dr. Blythe and her team could make Land's End Cat Resort, Hank's "second home", any more attractive and cat comfortable than it is now. Cats are treated, quiet rightly in our opinion, both as honoured guests and family friends with each given his or her own cat condo. Hank is getting on in years, requires insulin twice a day and from time to time arrives at Land's End with other medical conditions that require careful monitoring and regular attention. Since I know he will get that attention, and a lot of loving care as well, we can go off on our various trips, some quite lengthy, knowing Hank is in the best of hands.

I want to thank you very much for your wonderful care for Hobbes. Your facility is immaculate and lovely. I am sure Hobbes was well loved while he was with you. Scott certainly indicated that he enjoyed Hobbes’ company and no doubt Hobbes would have picked up on that. He is following me around the house closely today - but also out enjoying the yard and the neighbourhood. Happy and well-adjusted I think. Thanks again! I will recommend your cat retreat highly to my friends. Kind regards,

I have used many cat kennels in the past and Lands End Cat Resort is light years ahead of any of them. Each cat has a large softly furnished room overlooking the garden. Our cat, Mr Bean, was immediately comfortable in his surroundings and enjoyed the readily available toys. Our three weeks away was made worry free by having e-mail contact with Blythe and Dave and they even sent us a video of Mr Bean getting loving attention from Dave. Lands End is spotlessly clean and toasty warm, two things that are high on my list of requirements. We will use them again without hesitation. If you love your cat as we do you will feel very secure with Lands End Cat Resort.
