Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I come for a tour?
Yes! We welcome and encourage your tour during our appointment hours. Please schedule an appointment for your tour. Our appointment hours are a balance between the needs of our human clients, kitty clients and the parameters of our special-use permit set by Skagit County regarding our hours. We are committed to your cat’s health and safety, as well as a pleasurable experience for both you and your cat.  We are proud to show you our facility. Join us and ask any questions you may have regarding your cat’s “vacation”. We also have a virtual tour available.

What can I do to enhance my cat's stay? 
Cats are very sensitive to our feelings. The better you feel about your cat’s stay, the better your cat will feel and board with us. Please come tour and see our facility. Ask any questions you may have. Lastly, as you begin to pack for your trip, talk to your cat and explain your plans, describe the Cat Nap Inn, emphasize that you will return and you will be a family again. Cats that have been informed of their vacation are calmer and adjust better to boarding.

What do your rates include?
 
Our accommodation rates include boarding, play/love session, premier food and litter. Complimentary services available upon request include catnip, and/or wheat grass.  We also offer an array of additional services.
 
Do you offer discounts?
 
While we do not offer discounts, we do offer a simple and predictable rate system. There are no “surprises” when you check out. We do not charge more for weekends or during our peak season. Our rates are the same year round.
 
Can I pick my cat up anytime other than "appointment hours"?
 
Like all businesses, we must set hours of operation that allow us to perform the tasks needed as well as service our clients. We must not only provide service to our human clients but our kitty clients as well. Additionally, we have parameters of our hours set by our special-use permit.

A large part of our work is done before and after "appointment hours". In the interest of our guests’ health and happiness, we have a strict schedule for feeding, tucking in at night, etc. We prefer to adhere to this schedule and not to disturb our guests. We try to balance our clients’ needs with being considerate of our neighbors since we are a business located in a rural residential area and our own needs. Unlike many other professions we work seven days a week. Our free time allows us to relax and rejuvenate so we may have the energy to properly care for and pamper your cat.

What should I pack?

We ask that you use a carrier or harness and leash when arriving and departing, an itinerary with telephone numbers where you can be reached or the telephone numbers of local friends or family in case of emergency.

You are welcome to bring along your cat’s favorite bed or small blanket. If it smells like home and/or you, it will help your kitty settle in. While we recommend not laundering the item before your kitty’s visit, we request that all items are washable so we may wash and “freshen” it as needed. You are also welcome to bring along a favorite toy. We also highly recommend bringing a cardboard scratch pad. We request that you leave your cat’s water and food dishes at home. We prefer to use our own dishes.

Can we bring our own food?

Yes, for familiarity and comfort, we prefer to feed your cat’s own food. This helps to avoid an upset stomach and diarrhea cause by a sudden food change. If your cat has special dietary needs we can accommodate that as well. Please write down any special instructions.  We even have our own “Kitty Kitchen” where we can prepare special meals.

Are the cats ever allowed out of their suites?

In the interest of our guests’ health and safety, we prefer cats stay in their suites. If we were to let the cats out to roam, it would defeat the purpose of each suite having its own individual ventilation system. Also, we would need to clean and disinfect the floor in between each cat’s “outing”, just as we clean and disinfect the suites in between guests. Lastly, while all of our entrances have double entry door system, we do not want to chance your kitty sneaking out.

 
What form of payment do you take?
 
We accept personal check, traveler's check or cash. Sorry we do not accept credit cards.
