"... Thanks again for the great care you gave to Sylvester - we have definitely found the only place we will ever trust to leave Sylvester at when we go away. I am sure that your business will be as successful as it is rewarding for you. I will pass on your contact information to anyone who is searching for the best place leave their feline family members when they are away. Thanks! ... You deserve it! ... Too many times, the only things that people in the service industry get to hear are complaints. The compliments are what need to be focused upon and shared. Take care and I'm sure we'll see you soon. P.S. I have been keeping up on the diet thing with Sylvester and started giving him soft food to help with the coat. Thanks for the advice."

	Playing music is known to calm the nerves, yes, of cats too!
	Fish tanks, perching selves beneath large windows, scratching posts, toys... and plenty of human interaction.
	With a window for each cottage in addition to those in the play areas, CatNap offers a bright, warm feeling for guest and parents.
	When you enter CatNap for the first time, your reaction will be 'wow, this is so homey'. We have worked hard to break away from the typical kennel setting and really do offer our guests a home-away-from-home. See it for yourself and you be the judge!

Climate Controlled:

	Cottages are raised from the floor and insulated to keep even furry friends warm in the winter months.
	Central air-conditioning and curtained windows are a must during those hot summer days.

Air Quality Controlled:

	CatNap Cottages is equipped with a sophisticated UV filtration purification system. The air each cat breathes out is taken through our purifiers to kill 99.8% of all bacteria, viruses and debris.
	A custom designed air exchange ventilation system ensures that fresh air is brought in and stale air is pushed out of the building. Wow!

Safety First:

	Aside from cameras inside and outside of our facility, CatNap Cottages is secured with an off-site security and monitoring system. The system covers all doors and windows, with testing and monitoring each time staff enter and leave our building.
	CatNap's security includes a double door system for potential escapies and Plexiglas-guarded windows for unsurpassed safety.
	Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are connected to the fire department.
	The fire department has done a walk through and is familiar with the layout. This will allow them to be more efficient should an emergency situation arise.
	Our staff is educated in emergency preparedness. We will contact your own veterinarian in the event that your cat needs their services.
	Most traditional kennels are made of steel or wood. Steel is cold and may rust and it resembles a hospital that houses ill pets. Wood can peel to cause cuts or may even be harmfully ingested and is difficult to clean. All CatNap cottages are made of Structoglas which is warm, won’t rust, scratch or peel. It is easily cleaned and non-absorbent to bacteria and viruses.
	Guests must have current vaccinations, unless otherwise recommended by a veterinarian.
	CatNap requires all outdoor cats and those living with dogs be on a veterinarian recommended flea program for a minimum of April - November.
	For safety reasons, we do not allow cats from different families to directly interact with each other.
	CatNap Cottages has strict policies and procedures to ensure safety but will cater as much as possible around what the customer wishes.

Our Staff:

	Extensive files are kept on each guest. From their past medical and behavioural history to current, from likes to dislikes, we take the time to get to know each guest and interact with them individually.
	All staff are very comfortable giving medications, even for 'fractious' cats.
	Because we accomodate for cats only, we do not find ourselves occupied by walking, bathing and caring for all the needs of dogs as many other kennels do. We have the means to tend to the special needs of your favoured feline.
	Going That Extra Mile - Each day your cat is closely monitored. Amount of food eaten, water consumption, bowel movements, urinating habits and behaviour are all recorded. Your cats health is paramount and our staff know how to watch for signs of illness or distress.
	CatNap follows strict moral conduct guidelines and a set of value codes in how we care for each of our guests.

Room Service:

	Each guest will receive lov'n in the form he/she likes best. This may be snuggles, massage, head and/or belly rubs or just a visit with a friendly voice for those that are a little nervous. (This turns into snuggles rather quickly though.)
	CatNap cottages will serve according to your specifications as much as possible.
	All meals include fresh, distilled spring water--the champagne of felines.
	Only stainless steel bowls to dine from, since plastic is not friendly to our sensitive guests!

Maid Service... Cleanliness is A MUST:

	Toiletries… What can we say, we clean as they go. Soiled litter is dumped, box cleaned and returned to the same guest. This is not only a proper sanitary procedure, but helps to limit stress. One guest does not want to smell the business of another.
	Our maids will draw curtains over windows and/or cottage doors for those who request the privacy.
	CatNap Cottages uses only veterinarian approved cleaners which are safe and effective.
	Each cottage is cleaned a minimum of twice a day for the comfort of our guests.
	Litter boxes and cottages go through a multi-cycle cleaning process between guests. Redundant maybe, but clean, clean, clean!

So What Does All This Mean To You?

If your cat is happy, we are happy because it means you have...
PEACE OF MIND.
