In the cage, they aren't technically alone because many people are moving around. We have an active hospital, so we're in and out of the cat ward all the time. They will be cared for multiple times a day. If the litter box gets dirty, we'll scoop that right away, we'll fill water bowls, and feed them as you direct. There is no one here overnight because we're not a 24-hour facility. But right before we leave, we make sure everyone's cages are clean and everybody has what they need before locking those cages tightly. We also have an alarm system here at the hospital, and all doors are locked during the night. They are alone overnight.

Firstly, you would come into the hospital. We would have one of the kennel attendants go and meet with you to talk about the cat's schedule, special diet, and any medications the cat would need. You could bring in any items from home, and we will take a picture of it so that we know what you brought and note it in a chart. Then you'd drop the cat off, and we would place them in a cage and get them all comfortable in their house in the back. It's just a simple drop-off procedure, but we want to make sure that we can answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Probably not. Once a cat gets into a routine, it will likely continue. Especially if it's inner cat aggression that can escalate over time, it doesn't typically just go away.

Whenever you're concerned, ask a veterinarian because it might be normal, or it might not be normal, and you may not know the difference. If you're concerned, bring it up, and we'll try to help you with that.

Again, it depends on what the problem is. Let's create a scenario: The cat is scratching the furniture. Of course, we don't want them to destroy the furniture. You could say no and get them off, try a little squirt with a water bottle, or make that area unappealing by blocking access. You can even use ScatMats on the floor or put different scents on the furniture. There's also a product called Feliscratch by Feliway, which you put on the item you want them to scratch to draw them to it. It depends on the problem, but each solution would be individually tailored for the problem.
