The types of services the cat boarding facility offers, as well as your cat’s unique needs can also impact cost.

Yes, there is a difference between cat boarding and traditional kenneling near you in West Des Moines, IA?

Before selecting a cat boarding facility for your furry friend near you in West Des Moines, IA, you should make sure to research the facility thoroughly. Ask about the staff’s experience with caring for cats, their methods of sanitization, their policies regarding visiting hours and any additional services they may offer.
