Boarding two cats together

Two cats that live together and get along can share a condo, and the second cat pays $30 a night instead of $35 on the 2026 rates. Cats that avoid each other at home may be happier in separate condos.

Whether to board cats together is a question about their relationship, not their number. You know them best.

When sharing works

Bonded cats often sleep curled together and wash each other. If your cats nap together, eat side by side and use the same perches, sharing a condo is likely to feel natural. It also costs less: the first cat is $35 and the additional cat is $30 per night.

When separate is better

The AAFP's guidance on tension between cats points out that cats in the same household do not always get along, and that each cat needs its own resources: food, water, litter and resting places. If one of your cats hides from the other, swats, blocks the litter box or eats alone, book two condos. Each cat then has an individual four-level tower and its own litter box and blanket. Each is $35 a night.

Working out the cost

Two cats sharing for seven nights is 7 x $35 for the first cat plus 7 x $30 for the second, which is $245 plus $210. Two cats in separate condos for seven nights is 14 x $35 = $490. The stay cost estimator does this for your dates, including the afternoon pick-up charge of half a night.

How to prepare

Bring one blanket per cat that smells like home, current rabies and FVRCP records for each cat, and the usual food in the original bag. Tell the staff which cat eats first, which is bossy and whether either takes medication. See two or more cats and can my cats share a condo.

A short test at home

Before you book, watch your two cats for a day. Do they sleep within touching distance? Do they use the same water bowl? Do they ever stand off at the box or the door? Yes answers to the first two and a no on the last suggest sharing will work. If you are unsure, a second condo costs only a little more per night than sharing, and it removes the risk. Bonded cats also tend to keep their own routines, so tell the staff which one eats first, which one is bolder and whether either needs medication.
