Before or after the flight

Cat boarding before or after international travel

The apartment is not ready, the family lands later, or the next leg is still being arranged. Your cat can stay indoors with us until the dates line up.

Check availability

Enter your dates, your cat's name, contact details and whether transport is needed. Anything else about the stay can be confirmed separately.

Before the flight, after the flight, or both. The relocation side is arranged by our sister company Pets Go Global.

The situations we see most

You arrive before the apartment is ready

Keys, water, furniture. Your cat joins you once the place is liveable.

The cat arrives before you

The flight worked out earlier than the move.

A stay after a long journey

Somewhere indoors to settle after the trip.

Between two travel stages

A stop between one leg and the next, with the dates agreed in advance.

While the final arrangements are made

The last details of the move take a few more days.

One family, both halves of the move

Your cat stays with us indoors: a private room, a hiding box, climbing trees and tunnels, supervised play, and photo updates while you travel.

The flight, the documents, the customs clearance and the route are handled by Pets Go Global, our sister company. Same owner, same people, one conversation for the whole move.

Tell us both parts when you enquire and we arrange them together. You do not need to book twice or explain your dates twice.

The routine does not change with the reason for the stay.

Indoors, always

Cats do not go outdoors here.

Hiding places, climbing trees and tunnels

A hiding box to retreat into, height to climb and tunnels to explore.

Supervised play

Supervised play is part of the day.

Photo updates while your cat is staying

You see how your cat is getting on while you are away.

Documented stays

Catherine's cats

Ten days during a move from Boquete to Philadelphia.
