Dates
Submit the complete range
Include realistic departure and return dates, check-in windows, and contingency when flights or road travel may shift.
High-demand date planning
Peak dates add pressure to rooms, routes, and decisions.
Holiday and school-break demand can reduce room flexibility, increase travel disruption, and make late changes harder. Early planning should still protect care fit rather than treating any remaining room as interchangeable.

Planning principles
A smoother stay begins before check-in.
Preparation should reduce uncertainty for the cat, guardian, and care team without pretending every transition can be made invisible.
Room
Flexibility helps, but fit still matters
Share required features versus preferences so the team can match safely without guessing.
Policy
Read current operational terms
Deposits, minimums, peak dates, check-in, cancellation, and daily billing are maintained by Cats in the City.

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.
Are peak rates listed on this website?
No. Current rates, peak dates, deposits, cancellation, check-in, and billing terms remain on Cats in the City.
Should I book before my travel is final?
Only reserve dates you can accept under the current policy. Ask Cats in the City about current availability and terms.
What if my return flight is canceled?
Provide extra supplies, backup contacts, and a plan for extension. Extension still depends on room and staffing availability.
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.
