Long-Term Boarding Policy
Due to the complexities and details involved in boarding pets away from home for extended periods, Weymouth Landing Cat Clinic & Hotel has the following additional policies regarding long term boarding.
In this situation, “long-term” references any stay of 14 days or more.
1. Any cat(s) boarding for 14 days or more must have a 50% deposit paid at the drop off of the cat at the clinic and a credit card number stored for weekly payments in case the stay is extended.
2. If your cat(s)’s stay is extended past original arrangement, the original boarding reservation must be paid in full at that point. If the extension is more than 1 week, the weekly payments plan via saved credit card will be in effect for the extension.
3. All clients who are new to the clinic within the last 3 months must pay 75% deposit OR in full for stays longer than 14 days.
4. Any cat who runs out of food in a long-term boarding stay will be charged an additional $1 per day for the clinic to provide food.
5. Two points of contact must be provided – the owner and someone else that we can contact in the event we are unable to reach the owner for more than 24 hours. This person will be considered authorized to make medical decisions for the patient.
6. As stated in our standard estimate, any animal left unclaimed for a period of more than ten days, without contact from the owner or agent will be considered abandoned. Such animal will become property of WLCC and all ownership will be forfeited. All charges incurred until that point will remain the responsibility of the original owner.
