Welcome to Cat Boarding at Blue Springs Pet Resort!
We know leaving your cats when you go away is hard and that you trust us to provide the best care possible. As pet lovers ourselves, we provide the level of care to your cats that we want for our own.
We recognize that cats have special needs in order to make their visit a more positive experience. We cater to the unique personality of our feline friends in many ways, starting with offering upscale boarding kennels in Kitty City which is a cat only space (No dogs allowed!). Located in a corner of our building far away from dog boarding and the hospital wards, Kitty City provides a lower stress cat boarding environment that is calm, quiet, and comfortable for your cat. .
We invite you to stop by for a tour of our facility to meet our staff and learn more about the care we provide.

Professional Staff
Cats are cared for by a team of dedicated and attentive cat lovers who pamper the guests with attention and TLC. Our Pet Resort Manager, Erin Taylor, has worked for Blue Springs Pet Resort since 2012. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of Central Missouri, is a member of the International Boarding and Pet Services Association and is Fear Free Certified. Erin has a strong interest in behavior and gentle handling techniques.
Under Erin’s leadership all Pet Resort staff are trained in basic feline care and safety, disease prevention, and animal behavior. They participate in regular meetings and training activities and become quite knowledgeable and experienced in caring for cats.
Whether your cat is outgoing and loves to play, or shy and needs a gentle touch, the staff are there to meet all their needs and to make them as happy as possible during their visit.
Veterinarians On Site
The Pet Resort staff is trained to routinely monitor boarding cats carefully, keeping records of appetite, urination, bowel movements, and watching closely for signs of a health concern.
If there is ever a problem while your cat is boarding, our veterinarians are under the same roof at Blue Springs Animal Hospital. Our veterinarians maintain the highest level of knowledge and expertise in feline medicine and several of our doctors maintain active memberships with the American Association of Feline Practitioners. Our animal hospital is inspected and accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association and is a national award-winning hospital recognized for excellence in upholding AAHA quality of care standards.
Care For Special Medical Needs
We are able to provide boarding care for cats with special medical needs, such as oral medications, eye or ear medications, SQ fluids, and most other types of medical care. We will provide two oral, ear, or eye medications per pet for no additional charge. More than 2 medications or other types of more complex treatments require additional staff time and documentation and will incur a small additional daily fee. Current pricing information is available on our Policies and Fees page and will also be quoted when making your reservation.
NOTE: Diabetic cats require significant extra care and observation. We require that they board in the hospital under the direct supervision of a veterinarian. Please contact us for more details and to schedule a reservation for your diabetic cat.
Feline Friendly Activities
If your cat is active and enjoys exploring new places, we have an indoor glass play area which overlooks the kitty reception area and terrarium. Cats like to climb around the carpeted kitty jungle gyms and swipe at the toy catnip mice.
Cats can climb up high and supervise activities in the reception area while entertaining our hospital clients in the cat waiting area through the glass window.
More sedentary cats enjoy napping in the sun or being held and petted by one of our pet resort staff. Our staff pay attention to the body language of each cat and strive to play with them, or give them love and affection, or sometimes just give them privacy and space to relax depending on each cat's unique personality.
Upscale Accommodations
Kitty City features cat boarding condos in a quiet and cozy “cats only” area. Each kitty condo has lots of natural light with a view outside through a large exterior window.
While boarding in their condos, cats love to climb up on their benches and sun bathe as they watch all the activity outside.
Cleanliness And Sanitation
During the morning and evening each cat receives individual attention as the staff care for all their needs including feeding, fresh water, medications, and cleaning.
We have a commercial dishwasher (like those used in school cafeterias) to wash and disinfect bowls, toys, and other items. For bedding and towels, we use a commercial washer and dryer.
Our staff is educated and trained in the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment for our guests.
Fine Dining And Treats
We strongly recommend that you bring your cat’s regular food to avoid the tummy upset that can occur with sudden diet changes. Cats are also more likely to eat well during boarding if they have their familiar food from home. If you choose to have us furnish the food, your cat will be fed premium quality dry kibble that is recommended by our veterinarians. The daily boarding rate is the same whether we feed your food or our food.
If you bring your cats’s regular food, please bring only an amount appropriate for the length of the stay. Dry food should be transferred into zip lock bags or a plastic container. Please do not bring food in the original bag. Allow us to provide dishes for your cat since our dishes can be sanitized in our commercial dishwasher.
Our staff likes to give out treats! You may bring treats for your cat or we have an assortment of fun treats that we offer for a small additional price. Our treat selection for our feline friends may include:
- Tuna or salmon bites
- Chicken popsicles
- Pumpkin cups
- Cheesy baked fish crackers or special cookies
- Other creative and yummy cat treats
If your pet is on a special diet, please let us know and we will not give treats unless you bring treats appropriate for their special needs.
Bedding, Toys, and Personal Items
We recommend that you allow us to provide bedding. We provide synthetic wool bedding custom sized for your pet’s accommodations. Our bedding is laundered daily in our commercial washer and dryer.
If you choose to bring personal bedding or toys please only bring washable items the cat can have unsupervised. Personal bedding will be washed in our commercial washer and dryer during your pet’s stay.
ALL PERSONAL ITEMS MUST BE LABELED IN PERMANENT MARKER WITH YOUR LAST NAME AND YOUR PET'S NAME. WE DO OUR BEST TO RETURN ALL PERSONAL BELONGINGS, BUT AT TIMES THINGS GET MISPLACED OR – UGGGH – SCRATCHED OR CHEWED. We cannot be responsible for personal items that your pet scratches or chews up. You may not get everything back!!
Preventative Health Requirements
Blue Springs Pet Resort has strict health requirements for all boarding cats for a very good reason – we are committed to keeping your pet safe and healthy! If we failed to require protection against contagious diseases and parasites, we could not promise your pet the safest environment possible. Our standards are high, but we hope you will see that as a strong advantage to boarding your cat with us.
All cats in the Pet Resort facility must be current on our required routine preventative health care. If your pet is under the care of another veterinary hospital, please upload a copy of the records/receipt when making your reservations. Cats will not be admitted without proof of vaccinations. Please refer to the Policies and Fees page for specific information.
Note: Kittens must be 8 weeks of age and have their first Disptemper/Resipiratory vaccine before boarding. It is important for kittens to complete the kitten vaccine series to establish adequate protection and continue visiting the resort.
Estimates and Fees
Blue Springs Animal Hospital & Pet Resort’s fees reflect top quality care by a dedicated, highly trained, and long-term staff with an unsurpassed level of concern for your pet. Our goal is to never skimp on quality of care and service, while remaining competitive in the local marketplace.
When you make your boarding reservation we will create an estimate for your cat’s visit. If you have questions about our fees, please ask! Refer to the Policies and Fees Page for more information on resort policies and fees.
