Expertise in Cat Boarding & Care

Pet care experience

**I ONLY board cats - I no longer board dogs or any other animals, and any boarding requests for non-felines will be rejected. Thank you for understanding!** Hello! My name is Lillian. I work professionally in laboratory animal husbandry, and I have 6+ years of continuous experience in industries such as ER/ICU veterinary medicine, domestic & exotic animal care, daycare, and boarding. My skills include creating personalized care plans for boarding clients, administering medication, providing grooming options, and so much more than you will find in a traditional boarding setting. I own and exhibit cats in TICA conformation shows. I am an expert in feline husbandry. My personal cats are exceptionally well cared for and provided with the best nutrition, enrichment, and loving interaction that I can offer. You can relax knowing that when your cats board with me, they will be treated as one of my own and offered all of the same luxuries that my fancy show cats receive. I only board one client/household at a time to ensure that your cats will feel comfortable in my home. My personal cats will never have contact with my boarding clients. Please contact me today in order to reserve your cat's boarding space within my home. I am happy to go over the details with you on what amenities your cat will receive, the services that I am able to provide, and how my skills & expertise set me apart from the competition.

This was the 2nd time Lily looked after Hazel and given how excited Hazel was to see her, think she loves having Lily look after her.

Lillian took great care of our dog while we were away. Dropped her off and picked her up from dog training and hazel loved hanging with her.

Lillian was incredible! She is sweet, calm and clearly loves dogs. She administered our senior Pomeranian’s medicine twice a day with no issues and was super responsive with updates while we were away. Can’t recommend her enough!

Lillian was fantastic! Extremely user friendly and competent. She house-sat for us for 8 days and took care of our 2 dogs, 1 of which is undergoing leukemia treatment. She always responded very quickly to any messages and generally made sure to provide great service.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer safe, secure, and comfortable boarding options for felines. I only board one client/household at a time in order to ensure minimal stress and maximum comfort for your cat(s). Boarding services will be customized entirely to meet the needs of your cat(s). In my home, I have a large, secure three-tier cat cage that I keep away from my own personal cats. This cage is outfitted with a litter box, food & water, cat beds, and your choice of toy options - it is larger and far more customizable than any traditional boarding option. Boarding clients will be in the cage when I am gone during the day, and they have the option of free-roaming in my front room when I am at home. Your cat(s) will always be apart from and never have contact with my own personal cats, unless you would like for them to mingle when I am at home (this requires signed permission from the client and confirmation that your cat(s) are UTD on vaccines, parasite prevention, and do not have transmissible illnesses).

Information Lillian M. would like to know about your pet

Any special care instructions? Does your cat need medications, and if so, how often and in what form (pill, capsule, liquid, injection, etc)? Will your cat need a grooming service while in my care, such as daily brushing, a nail trim, or a bath? Does your cat have allergies? Does your cat have any aggression or reactivity issues? I am capable of administering medication in all forms, performing grooming/hygiene services, and monitoring STABLE & MANAGED health conditions. While I am highly skilled in feline husbandry, there are 2 types of clients that I am not comfortable caring for: 1. Highly fractious cats. If your cat has a tendency to bite or scratch in reaction to basic handling, I would recommend boarding at a trusted veterinary clinic where they have the equipment to handle highly fractious cats. 2. Cats in perilous health. If your cat has a health condition that is not stable, regardless of medical management, I cannot in good faith take them on as a boarding client. Your cat's health & safety is paramount, and while I am perfectly capable of monitoring & managing STABLE health conditions, it would be best for any cats in perilous health to board at a trusted veterinary clinic where they will have the ability to immediately & effectively respond to any drastic change in health status.

A typical day

I have various cat furniture and toys that allow cats to express natural, healthy behaviors such as running, climbing, jumping, and scratching. Choice of toys includes catnip, silvervine, wands/teasers, tunnels, puzzles, plush, lasers, balls/ball tracks, scratchers, furry/feathery, and motion-activated interactive toys. Cats will be provided with new toys daily to prevent boredom.
