Can a senior cat board safely? Yes, a senior cat can board safely when the facility follows three things: Fear Free, low-stress handling to keep anxiety down, staff trained to give medication including subcutaneous fluids, and senior-safe rooms with non-slip flooring and low litter boxes to reduce fall and strain risk. At Shangri-Paw, all three come as standard, and our founder is vet-nurse trained.
Who it's forIs this the right place for your senior cat?
This is for you if your cat is getting on in years, an older or elderly cat who is perhaps slower, a little stiff, or managing a condition like CKD, arthritis, dental disease or hyperthyroidism, and the thought of leaving them anywhere ordinary fills you with dread.
Maybe they need medication on a schedule. Maybe you just want someone who would notice, quickly, if something was not right. That is exactly the cat we are built for.
What we doWhat we do that an ordinary cattery cannot
We spot the small things. Years of clinical and rescue experience mean we notice subtle changes in appetite, litter habits or behaviour, and we tell you early.
We handle medication with confidence. Oral, transdermal and subcutaneous medication, subcutaneous fluids, inhalers, wound cleaning and topical treatments, working alongside your own vet.
We keep stress low. Fear Free, gentle handling, no cages, calming music and pheromone support when it helps. Lower stress matters more, not less, as cats age.
We tailor everything. Individual meal plans, supplements, and a routine kept as close to home as possible.
How it worksHow a senior cat's stay works
1
We take your instructions seriously
Before the stay, you talk us through your cat's medications, conditions and routine, and we note it all down so we follow your instructions exactly.
2
Familiarisation visit
A gentle first meeting so the room and the people are not a surprise on day one.
3
In-room medication schedule
A clear, written plan for every dose, pinned to your cat's WhatsApp group.
4
Daily wellness check
Appetite, litter and behaviour logged daily, with a fast flag to you if anything looks off.
SENIOR SAFE ROOMSSenior-friendly rooms, in any category
All our room types suit many seniors: cosy, calm and easy to navigate.
A cosy Comfort Room suits a cat who likes things quiet, while our Luxury Suites 03 and 10 catch warm patches of sun that ageing joints love, and Deluxe Room 18 is a firm senior favourite.
Some older cats actually want more of us, not less, so a room nearer the action means more passing cuddles. Whatever the category, we can remove furniture for cats who should not jump, add non-slip mats, low-entry litter boxes and a HEPA air purifier, with no shared spaces, ever, so disease risk stays low.
Transparent pricingClear, honest pricing
Rooms start from $90 a night for a Comfort Room. Senior care add-ons are charged simply: for example oral or topical medication at $5 per dose, subcutaneous injections at $10, and subcutaneous fluids at $20. We give you a clear estimate for your cat's routine before the stay, with no surprises.
"We recently put our extremely anxious cat in for a couple of weeks over Christmas, and when it came time to pick him up, I honestly think he didn't want to leave."
