Cat Boarding in Monona and Madison
Traveling is easier when you know your cat is safe, comfortable, and cared for by veterinary professionals. Four Lakes Veterinary Clinic offers Cat Friendly, veterinary-supervised cat boarding for families in Monona and Madison and surrounding communities, designed to keep cats relaxed while you are away.
A Calm, Sunny Space Just for Cats
Our feline guests stay in spacious cat condos located in our staff break room, a quiet area filled with natural light from large windows. Because this space is separate from busy exam rooms and barking dogs, cats can settle in and feel secure. Depending on temperament and comfort level, many cats enjoy supervised exploration and playtime outside their condo each day.
Boarding for Cats With Medical Needs
Because our boarding program is located inside a veterinary hospital, we are uniquely equipped to care for cats with special needs. Our team can give medications and insulin injections as directed, so cats with diabetes, hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, or other conditions stay on schedule while you travel. If a health concern comes up during your cat’s stay, a veterinarian is right here to evaluate them with a sick pet visit.
Cat Friendly and Fear Free Care
As a Cat Friendly and Fear Free Certified practice, our team understands that cats can find new places stressful. We use gentle handling, quiet routines, and familiar comforts to help your cat relax. Cats who are especially nervous may benefit from support for anxiety before their stay.
Preparing for Your Cat’s Stay
- Make sure your cat is current on vaccines, including rabies and FVRCP
- Keep flea prevention up to date, available through our pharmacy
- Bring your cat’s regular food to avoid stomach upset
- Pack a familiar blanket or bed that smells like home
- Bring all medications with clear dosing instructions
- Confirm your microchip contact information is current
Planning ahead? Schedule your cat’s yearly wellness exam before you travel so we can update vaccines and address any concerns. If your cat is due for dental care or bloodwork, ask whether it can be scheduled during their stay.
