Medical Cat Boarding
@ The Neighbourhood Vet - Tewantin
A Calm, Quiet & Safe Environment
In-Clinic Supervision
Medication Management
Stress-Free Environment
Standard catteries are not always equipped to manage a cat that needs daily medication, regular monitoring or any level of veterinary oversight.
Our medical cat boarding in Tewantin operates entirely within the clinic, which means your cat has direct access to our full team throughout their stay rather than being left with someone who may not be trained to handle a health concern if one arises. Medications are given exactly as prescribed, health is monitored closely and any changes are addressed on the spot without delay. Cats are kept in a calm, quiet environment with areas separate from other animals, which helps reduce stress during what can already be an unsettling time. This service is well suited to cats managing a chronic illness such as diabetes or kidney disease, those recovering from a procedure or any cat requiring close medical supervision during their owner's absence.

What to Expect During Their Stay
Before your cat's stay begins, we take the time to go through their health history, daily routine and any specific care requirements so nothing gets overlooked.
We maintain consistency with their medications, feeding schedule and handling throughout the boarding period to keep things as familiar as possible. Cats that are well understood settle more easily, and that makes a real difference to how they cope during their stay. You will hear from us if anything changes, and we are always easy to reach if you have questions while you're away.
Whether your cat needs a short stay or something longer term, we will make sure they are comfortable, monitored and well looked after from the moment they arrive.
What Our Customers Say
FAQ
Can cats with medical conditions be boarded at a vet clinic?
Yes, many veterinary clinics offer medical boarding for cats that require ongoing care, medication or monitoring. This is a much safer option than standard catteries for cats managing chronic illness, recovering from surgery or needing regular injections or treatments. The veterinary team can respond quickly if the cat's condition changes during the boarding period.
How do I prepare my cat for boarding?
Before boarding your cat, make sure their vaccinations are up to date, as most facilities require this. Bring any medications with clear instructions, along with their regular food if they are on a specific diet. Familiar items such as a blanket or toy can help reduce stress. Provide a full health history and your vet's contact details if boarding elsewhere.
Is boarding stressful for cats?
Boarding can be stressful for some cats, particularly those that are unwell or not used to unfamiliar environments. Medical boarding at a veterinary clinic reduces this risk because staff are trained to recognise signs of stress and respond appropriately. Keeping cats separated from dogs and other animals, maintaining routine and minimising handling all help reduce anxiety during a boarding stay.
