How long can my cat be left alone? - The Drake Center
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.

I think cats, by nature, are loners at a boarding facility specifically, but of course, you would want to make sure that they're well taken care of. You want to know if they have access to water, have been fed or medicated, and have a clean litter box. Most of them can go the day hours without needing attention. Think about when you leave them to go to work. I don't know that there's an exact timeline depending on your specific cat, but several hours, because they sleep 25 of the 24 hours anyway, and overnight they're usually just fine.
