Booking from Rio Linda

Request your dates through Book / My Account, upload rabies and FVRCP records and sign the boarding agreement once. The kennel confirms every reservation, and the balance is due at pick-up by cash, check, debit, Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover.

All cats are accepted, neutered or intact, as long as rabies and FVRCP records are current through the last day and the cat is at least 16 weeks old. A yard cat that has never worn a collar or ridden in a carrier should practice at home first.
