Overnight Cat Boarding

Overnight Cat Nesting in a private NESTominium (our version of cat boarding) in Kitty Arbor, a light-filled neighborhood designed for peace of mind for our cat guests. This space is entirely enclosed and separate from other noisy NESTers. We are proud to follow the guidelines of the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) Certified Cat Friendly Practices, including utilizing Feliway pheromone plug-ins to ease stress.

Overnight Exotic Pet Boarding

In the Forest neighborhood, your exotic pets will board in this sunshine bathed space with their own enclosures from home where they are most comfortable, with their regular food and their own heating elements (if needed). The Forest is separate from other cat and dog boarding areas to promote calm for your exotic pets while they are boarding with us at NEST.
