How a stay goes.
From the first message to the day you bring them home, here is what happens, one step at a time.
01
Send a tour inquiry
Tell us your name, how many cats you have and a little about them. We reply to set a time for your visit.
02
Take a look around
See the suites and the lounge, meet the team and ask anything you want to know before you book.
03
Share records and routine
Send your cat's current vaccination records and tell us about food, medicine and daily habits.
04
Check in, then pick up
We go over check-in and pickup with you when you book, so drop-off day stays calm for you both.
Before you come.
A few things we ask for ahead of every stay, so your cat settles in without fuss.
A tour inquiry is not a boarding reservation. We confirm the stay with you after we talk.
Vaccination records
Bring current records from your vet. We confirm which vaccines we need and any timing before the stay.
Flea prevention
Tell us what flea treatment your cat is on. We let you know what we ask for ahead of check-in.
Food and medicine
Note what they eat, how often, and any medicine they take. We go over it with you before anything is booked.
What to bring
Records come first. We tell you what else to pack when we confirm the dates of the stay.
Boarding questions.
Short answers about stays, suites and booking. Ask us anything else on your tour.
Is the hotel only for cats?
Yes. Velvet Paw is cat-only, so there are no dogs down the hall. Cats get a quieter, calmer place to stay.
How are stays priced?
Each suite is priced by the night. The rates on this page are samples, so ask us for current pricing and open dates before you make plans.
Can two of my cats share a suite?
Cats from the same household can stay together. Tell us how many cats you have and we will talk through which suite fits them.
How do I book a stay?
Start with a tour inquiry. We set a time for you to visit, answer your questions, and then confirm the stay with you.
