Candlewick Kennels

All of our feline guests enjoy a private dwelling equipped with a litter box, stainless steel food and water bowls, and a fleece cuddle bed. Each unit is cleaned and sanitized daily. Bowls and beds are washed and litter boxes are scrubbed, deodorized and filled with fresh litter each morning. During this time, guests will be let out individually to explore our atrium, stretch they’re legs and socialize with our staff.

We have two different style units available for our feline visitors. You may choose between our cozy apartments or our three-story luxury condos. The unit best suited for your cat will depend on his or her activity level and individual needs.

Note - We ask that all cats are brought into the facility in a carrier labeled with your name and your pets name. For your convenience we have an area dedicated for carrier storage.

Apartment units are single level private dens that keep cats feeling safe and secure while away from the comforts of home. Every apartment has food and water dishes, a litter box and a sleeping niche. While bedding and toys are provided, you are always welcome to bring items from home.

The cat apartments are located in our tranquil and relaxing atrium separate from the other kennel activities. The atrium was designed to provide an atmosphere for safe exploration and play. It is decorated and accessorized with your cat in mind. Apartment units are adjacent to several floor to ceiling windows with a beautiful view of the local wildlife. There are various scratching posts, carpeted forms and toys for climbing, scratching, exercising claws, or just snoozing in the sun. Our facility is the perfect place for your cat to feel at home while you’re away.

Cats are members of the family just as much, if not more, than dogs (don’t let the dog in on this). They too deserve to be spoiled and pampered which is why we offer our cat condominiums. These three story units are quiet, spacious, and comfortable. Each floor has a kitty ramp making for easy travel to the next level. Food and water dishes, sleeping niches and a litter box each occupy a floor. While bedding and toys are provided, you are always welcome to bring items from home.

With soft peaceful music to create a relaxing atmosphere, a tropical fish aquarium and an outdoor bird sanctuary, your cat will feel like he’s vacationing in paradise. These units are limited in number so we advise they be reserved ahead of time.

Unless instructed otherwise, dry kibble (Purina) is kept down at all times. As a special treat, mouth watering moist food is served for dinner. We have a variety of flavors such as chicken, seafood and liver that not only tastes excellent, but is safe and gentle for your cat’s digestive system. If your cat is a picky eater, has a sensitive stomach or is on a special or prescription diet we recommend bringing food from home. Food supplied by pet owners is stored and prepared individually for each pet. For these reasons there is a dollar a day fee. If you chose to bring food from home, please be sure to bring enough for your pet’s entire stay.

Cats tend to be independent and not particularly sociable with other felines, however there are families with multiple cats that are inseparable. For these cats, rooming together is an option though we do recommend no more than two felines per enclosure as cats do enjoy more personal space.

Prescription medications, supplements and insulin injections can be administered by our trained and experienced staff. At the time of your check-in, present the medication with a description of its proper dosage and frequency. If possible, please bring medication in its original bottle versus pill cases or plastic bags. If this is not possible, drug name and dosage is sufficient. For the administration of each medication it is a dollar a day regardless of the number of times it is to be given. Insulin injections are $5 a day. Please bring the correct number of syringes and be specific on feeding instructions as well as the number of units to be given. To better care for your pet, we ask that you make us aware of any medical history when checking-in.

Most boarding cats will be happy and content with relaxing in their den and getting some exercise each morning but for those that are more active, enjoy company or are a bit spoiled, we offer our feline play times. Each session is $6.50 for 20 minutes of personal interaction with one of our playtime coordinators. Depending on your cat’s likes or dislikes, a playtime session could include anything from a pleasant chin rub, back scratch or a therapeutic brushing to a full blown mouse or string chase. Whether our staff is able to facilitate play, or just offers a warm lap accompanied by peaceful conversation, your cat is sure to take pleasure in these additional attention receiving activities.
