Baseline
Describe normal abnormality
A chronic wobble, head tilt, tremor, weakness, or altered gait must be distinguished from a new event.
Neurologic baseline and event planning
Movement, awareness, events, and recovery need precise description.
Seizures, ataxia, vestibular disease, tremor, weakness, cognitive change, paralysis, or other neurologic history require clear baseline function and event-response instructions.

What changes the care plan
Boarding fit is built from function, not diagnosis alone.
Stable neurologic profiles may be reviewed by event frequency, mobility, medication, fall risk, swallowing, elimination, handling, and required monitoring. Recent or uncontrolled events require veterinary assessment.
Events
Timing and recovery matter
Duration, awareness, movement, urination, vocalization, injury, triggers, medication, and post-event behavior should be documented.
Safety
Reduce falls and entrapment
Room layout, bedding, litter, food, water, elevation, and handling should match current balance and strength.
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 a cat with controlled seizures board?
Some stable cats may be reviewed. Event frequency, rescue plan, medication timing, post-event recovery, and emergency thresholds must be complete.
Should I send videos of my cat walking?
Videos can help define a chronic baseline when movement is unusual. Include the date and explain what is normal.
What if a seizure occurs?
The team follows the approved event plan, documents the event and recovery, and contacts or transfers according to the stated thresholds.
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.
