Château Le Chat

our exclusive suites

In the spacious farmhouse of Huisdierverhalen, we offer 5 beautiful cat rooms. These rooms are located on the first floor, each with its own entrance door, ensuring that drop-off and pick-up of feline guests always happens in a calm environment.

Naturally, cats feel most at ease in their own home. Some adapt well to new surroundings, while others find it much harder to adjust. To make the transition as smooth and quick as possible, you can reserve a room exclusively for your cats, with no other cats from different households sharing the space. Importantly, a private room truly means it’s entirely for your pet(s) alone.

To offer an optimal boarding experience, providing the right amenities is crucial. That’s why we’ve applied our expertise as behaviour therapists when designing the rooms.

 

Interior Cat Design

There are plenty of cozy resting spots at various heights, and our guests have access to a range of hiding spaces in different sizes and materials. We also offer numerous scratching options, including tall, short, thick, and thin scratching posts, as well as horizontal and vertical scratch pads. To ensure mental stimulation, we provide safe toys and regular interactive play sessions for those who are interested. For cats that need extra engagement, we have an extensive collection of food puzzles and brain games to keep them entertained!

Moreover, we incorporate scientific findings that suggest piano music and specific aromas can soothe pets. As such, every room features calming piano sounds, and we use an aroma diffuser with stress-relieving scents to maintain a peaceful environment.

No one likes to encounter surprises. Indeed, most cats place great importance on their established routines and environment. Although we do not require a trial period, as our accommodations are shielded from potential stressors, we strongly recommend it to prevent any issues. If there are concerns about the stay, we offer a standard trial period of 3 days.

The primary reason for the 2 trial nights is to carefully observe how the guest(s) adapt to their temporary new situation and to ensure that they start eating within 48 hours.

Cats that do not eat within 48 hours are at significant risk of hapatic lipidosis, a potentially life-threatening condition. Naturally, everyone wants to avoid this at all costs, but if an owner is on the other side of the world, a quick return home is not feasible.

For all trial periods: 3 days stay = 2 days payment.

All cats are warmly welcome to stay in our cat hotel. However, there are a few requirements:

  • Intact male cats are welcome up to 7 months old; thereafter, only neutered males will be admitted.
  • A cat with diabetes or another condition requiring medication? No problem! Administering medication is part of our service.

 

Vaccinations and Titer Testing

Although our guests do not come into contact with other cats, the risk of disease and parasite transmission is still present.

  • All feline guests must be vaccinated against feline panleukopenia (valid for 3 years) and feline herpesvirus (valid for 1 year).
  • Upon arrival, the vaccination passport must be presented.
  • A titer test serves as valid proof of vaccination for feline panleukopenia.
  • A booster vaccination is necessary if the previous vaccination date has lapsed.
  • Once the vaccination (and any booster) is administered, there is a minimum waiting period of 3 weeks. Therefore, please ensure that the titer test or vaccinations are arranged in advance!
  • The Bordetella vaccination is not mandatory.

 

Deworming and Flea Treatment

  • Deworming and flea treatment are not mandatory.
  • If an infection is detected, your cat(s) will be treated immediately with Vlo Kill (Nitenpyram). Vlo Kill is a highly effective and fast-acting solution that kills fleas within 15-30 minutes. Unlike other flea treatments, these substances are out of the cat’s system within 24 hours.

Travel Carriers

For cats, seeing the travel carrier signals that something is about to happen. Therefore, place the carrier in the living room well in advance (at least a week before the stay) and, if possible, remove the door. After a few days, you can make the carrier more appealing by placing food and treats nearby, gradually moving them into and around the carrier. This way, you help build a positive association.

 

Selecting Items

Consider which items your cat really enjoys or finds comforting. This could include toys, a cuddly toy, a brush, a bed, a blanket, or something else. Please bring these items without washing them, as their familiar scents provide a sense of recognition and comfort.

The feline guests can be dropped off and picked up on a pre-arranged day and time. We allocate 15 minutes for the ‘handover,’ during which you have the option to explore the room together with your cat(s) upon arrival.

During their stay, you will have the opportunity to watch live via the camera 24/7 in the room, and if desired, you can request updates on how your cat(s) are doing. If anything is amiss, we will inform every designated contact person via a message. In case of life-threatening events, we will first contact the veterinarian and then inform the designated contacts. Any additional costs that may arise, along with any travel expenses, will be passed on and must be paid before the cats are taken home.

The rates are calculated per day, per room. Your cat(s) will always have their own room without any other cats.

The total amount must be paid in full upon completing the reservation.

  • Passport
  • Medication (if needed)
  • Vaccinations/Titer test

    • Dry kibble
