Choose by location and care pathway

Direct booking or team-assisted review.

Direct booking is the fastest route when the cat’s profile and desired stay fit the available service. Team-assisted care matching is the safer starting point for diabetes, appetite risk, medication complexity, recent instability, uncertain location fit, or any profile that needs review before a room is selected.

When boarding may not be the best path

A good router can point somewhere else.

Some cats regulate more successfully at home. Travel, appetite, medication tolerance, mobility, behavioral history, or the length of the stay may make cat sitting the more appropriate starting point.

Choose direct booking

The cat has a routine profile, the service and location are clear, and the requested offering appears in Cats in the City’s live booking menu.

Choose care matching

The profile includes diabetes, food refusal, multiple medications, recent hospitalization, instability, handling limits, or uncertainty about what the cat needs.

Choose sitting

The home environment is likely to protect appetite, medication tolerance, elimination, movement, or emotional regulation better than relocation.

Need a person before choosing?

Call Cats in the City and explain the cat’s current needs, dates, appetite history, medication routine, and any concern about location fit.
