Payment of Services:

Full payment for boarding and services is required on the cat's arrival day. We charge for every day your cat is boarding with us, no matter the time you drop off or pick up.

Extended stay: We will require two week's payment upfront, and then will bill your credit card weekly until the day of departure. If your cat runs low on food, we will first notify you, so you can bring in additional food, or we can purchase it for you and then charge your credit card. We will give you that option. We will give you the same option for flea medication if your cat is with us longer than one month. We charge a $20 service fee for buying food or administering flea medication

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Feline Upper Respiratory Infection
Whiskers on Kittens takes great pride in trying to provide you with the cleanest and healthiest boarding facility in Johns Creek. However, no boarding kennel is 100% safe from Feline Upper Respiratory Infection, including us. You do take a risk every time you board your cat and there are no guarantees against F.U.R.I. We exercise great care to keep our facility clean, sanitary and properly enclosed. We check each and every cat for visible signs of fleas and disease before it ever enters the boarding room.

Q: What is feline upper respiratory infection?
A: Feline upper respiratory infection (URI) is a highly contagious disease affecting the nasal passages and sinuses of cats and kittens.

Q: How is it transmitted?
A: Feline URI is transferred between cats by fluid discharged from the mouths and noses of infected cats. Cats shed the virus through the air by sneezing, coughing, or breathing; or by direct physical contact with cages, toys and food bowls.

Q: What are the signs?
A: Symptoms of feline URI include sneezing; fever; runny nose or red, watery eyes; nasal congestion; and ulcers on the tongue, gums, lips, nose, or roof of mouth. Symptoms are generally mild at first and worsen within one to three days. The incubation period (the time period between infection and the first signs of illness) lasts from 2 to 17 days. The illness typically lasts from one to four weeks.

Q: Which cats are at risk?
A: Any cat who is stressed by poor nutrition, cold or heat, age, or fear. Cats who are especially at risk for infection include unvaccinated cats, kittens (because they have immature immune systems), and cats whose immune systems are compromised by another disease, such as feline leukemia (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), cancer, malnutrition, or parasites.

Q: How is feline URI treated?
A: Feline URI is easily treatable even though there are no drugs available to kill the feline URI viruses. Treatment of feline URI is aimed at strengthening the cat's body and immune system to help the animal fight the virus, and usually consist of vitamins, good nutrition, and good nursing care. Infected cats may stop eating or drinking, and may require special therapy to combat dehydration and malnutrition. The disease can lead to fatal pneumonia if medical care is not provided. A few cats may have chronic (long-lasting) symptoms and some symptoms may recur whenever the cat is stressed or ill.

Q: How is feline URI prevented?
A: Feline URI cannot be totally prevented; many cats will enter the shelter already infected. Sanitation programs, health evaluations, isolation, vaccinations and de-worming all play a part in the control of feline URI.

NOTE:
We do not accept cats that are FIP (Infectious Peritonitis) positive. Nor can we take cats currently being treated for ringworm. Ringworm is a highly contagious condition and all medication prescribed must be completed 1 week prior to your cat's stay.
We do not board cats that are FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) or FLV (Lukemia Virus) positive, however, we rely on the pet owner to let us know and will not be responsible for any liability if cat enters and we are not notified.
