We board cats as a service for our clients on a reservation basis. All boarders are kept separate from the hospitalized cats in a roomy individual compartment which is disinfected twice daily. As boarding is not our primary activity there are requirements set up for your protection and ours. 

1. Vaccinations: For your cat's protection, all vaccines must be current, Rabies (within 1 year of today) and Distemper (within 3 years of today). If you are unable to provide written proof of these vaccinations, an Arlington Cat Clinic doctor will provide a comprehensive exam($65) and appropriate vaccines. Fees will be added to your bill. 

2) Illness: Should your cat become ill during its stay, a veterinarian will provide treatment deemed necessary in the doctor's professional judgement. I acknowledge that in the event of my pet's illness, the staff may not be able to contact me immediately and is therefore authorized to initiate appropriate treatment until I can be contacted. Arlington Cat Clinic will make all attempts to reach the person (s) listed regarding your pet’s condition, treatment options, and estimate additional costs. | agree to pay all related expenses associated with treatment of my pet until I am available to discuss and authorize further care and related fees. Charges incurred for international emergency phone calls will be billed to me as the cat's owner. 

3) Parasites: If your cat is found to have external and internal parasites, they will be treated at your expense. 

4) Cancellation Policy: Because appointments are valuable to our pets and clients, we do respectfully ask for 24 hour notice for cancellations. Repeated cancellations or no-shows will be assessed a fee. We appreciate your courtesy and understanding.

5) For reasons of sanitation and orderliness, it is recommended that personal belongings not be left with the cat or the hospital. If you choose to leave these articles, we cannot be responsible for their loss or damage.
