Stages Of The Stay
Here’s a breakdown of how each stay at Tiny Tails will go.
Before The Visit
The first step is to officially book your reservation. If you have questions, Mel is always glad to be available to answer them prior to booking. When you arrive, everything will already be set up for your cat. We’ll make sure to have your vet’s records and any instructions on feeding, medication, and care. When you pull up, Mel will personally come to your vehicle to get your cat and any comforting belongings you would like for them to have during their stay.
The Stay At Tiny Tails
Your cat’s carrier will be opened directly into their private space. Mel is a Fear Free Certified boarding professional, and takes pride in reducing any fear, stress, or anxiety your cat could experience at any point in their stay. They are never forced out of their carrier. Once out, they will discover that their room has raised food bowls, water fountains, and a view of 11 acres, and a large pond with swans on it.
Mel then gets to work on learning what your cat’s preferences are so that she can set up their environment to be as exactly perfect for them as possible. Whether it’s toys, certain bedding, vantage points, a secure catio, or anything else… she takes your cat’s happiness and safety seriously. They are monitored on video at all times, and Mel keeps you routinely updated via text and pictures.
Going Home
Once your cat is scheduled to go home, Mel packs their belongings, washes their bedding, packages their remaining food, and puts them in their carrier about 20 minutes before your scheduled arrival. She will then bring them to your car so that you can take your baby home.
A Great Stay For All Cats!
Tiny Tails Lodge is the perfect vacation spot for my little fellow. My cat is very affectionate and human-oriented, so I always hated boarding him because he gets so lonely. Not with Mel! Now he enjoys his own little room and plenty of time to explore the common room and play. He definitely gets the attention he craves and he adores Mel and her family. Importantly, Mel is flexible and accommodating with his complicated feeding schedule and goes out of her way to keep up his routines. It’s a relief to know my cat is in great hands, with regular updates from Mel that always put me at ease. I highly recommend this spot for anyone who wants to give their cat a home away from home.
Tiny Tails is the first place and now the only place I’ll ever board my cat! My kitten is crazy and I didn’t feel comfortable leaving her at home so I sent her to stay with Mel. She made me feel completely safe leaving my kitten with her. She was very communicative throughout the whole stay and was very understanding with my kitten and her needs. I will always recommend her and I will absolutely be coming back!
Tiny Tails is the best experience we have had for our cat.Mel gave us updates, daily. First night I was concerned with something I did. Mel was gracious enough to go and check and let me know status and took care of it. Our cat does not like the carrier and when we got home had the carrier out and Jumped in it on her own- this never happened before.
Thank you Mel and family for spending time and playing with our beloved kitty. Appreciate you. Will be back.
We’ve had Mel host our cat twice and both experiences were outstanding. Mel is an expert at helping the cats adjust and catering to their individual needs and personalities. My cat has special medication needs and Mel always made me feel reassured she was on top of the medication administration and monitoring for any health changes. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures of our cat too. You couldn’t find a better person to trust with caring for your cat!
I had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved cat, Little Meow to the care of Mel, owner of Tiny Tails Lodge, and I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the experience she provided for him. She ensured that my cat had his cozy hideaway to retreat to and watch the birds go by. The facilities were immaculate, well-organized, and equipped with everything to keep Little Meow comfortable and entertained. I appreciated the regular updates and photos provided during his stay.
Mel, the owner of Tiny Tails Lodge, truly operates an exceptional cat resort! Her dedication and commitment to her business are evident in every aspect. I received daily photo updates of my beloved furry companion during my trip, and it’s safe to say that Loggins had an even more enjoyable time than I did. Mel maintains a limited number of animals, ensuring each one receives plenty of individualized attention. The spacious accommodations are so fantastic that I can’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for the humdrum home Loggins returns to after his stay. Choosing Tiny Tails Lodge for your cat is a decision you won’t regret; somehow, Mel manages to love your furry friend just as much as you do!
