Medication
Timing and route must be usable
Oral, transdermal, or other approved routines need exact timing, technique, handling history, and missed-dose instructions.
Endocrine-aware boarding planning
Hyperthyroidism is managed through routine, response, and current stability.
Medication timing, appetite, weight trend, vomiting, stool, energy, heart or blood-pressure context, and the cat’s response to handling all shape the boarding plan.

What changes the care plan
Boarding fit is built from function, not diagnosis alone.
Stable hyperthyroid profiles may be reviewed at either location. Complicated appetite, heart, blood-pressure, medication, or higher-monitoring needs may point toward Sellwood.
Appetite
High appetite can still change
Reduced intake, vomiting, food-seeking, weight history, and sudden behavior change all matter in context.
Heart and pressure
Comorbid risk belongs in the plan
Known heart disease, murmur, hypertension, kidney disease, or recent treatment change can alter boarding fit.
Care boundary: This website provides boarding education and routing. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace veterinary care. Medical boarding acceptance depends on current stability, complete instructions, supplies, veterinary information, staffing, and the Cats in the City review.

Open guideQuestions guardians ask
Clear answers before the request.
Care fit is confirmed only after Cats in the City reviews the complete profile and requested dates.
Can transdermal thyroid medication be given during boarding?
Stable transdermal routines may be reviewed. Pack the original product and provide exact application site, timing, handling, glove, and missed-dose instructions.
Should I change the medication schedule for travel?
Do not change it without veterinary guidance. Share travel-day timing before arrival.
What recent changes should I report?
Report dose changes, vomiting, appetite change, weight loss, agitation, weakness, breathing change, collapse, or new kidney or heart concerns.
Next step
Let the care plan start with the cat.
Share the dates, routine, health history, appetite pattern, medication needs, and room priorities. Cats in the City will review the request and confirm the appropriate location and pathway.
