Cat-O-Lodge:
Why settle for anything less than the best? On 365 days of the year!
To entrust someone with the guarding and sitting of your cat without your presence for a longer period of time is often a hard decision and a matter of trust.
The primary goal of Cat-O-Lodge in its boarding and day-care facilities is to make the cats feel most comfortable and like at home, for being taken home happily after the stay.
Our work is not only characterized by an outstanding environment, but also our colleagues' loving treatment of the cats, through which a stay at us will be a true memory for your beloved friend. We provide extensive exercise, outdoor game in safe and fenced environments (Buda and Szentendre), socialization and a professional, knowledgeable care with full attendance.
Upon the client's request we naturally provide the type and amount of food and food complements the cat is used to, by simultaneously taking into account the cat's individual needs, customs and habits. All of these data are noted down one-by-one once we meet the client: we constantly bear in mind and follow these instructions and pieces of information. Our cat boarding facilities are supervised 24/7, and if needed, we assure first aid and professional medical attendance.
This is how we’re spending our time at the Cat-O-Lodge cat boarding and daycare facilities
Important information when our cat becomes part of a community (reg. kennel cough or bronchiseptica)
Since your cat will get into a cat community at one of our centres, and nationwide we witness an epidemic 1-2 times yearly, kindly acknowledge the below information and act at your own discretion.
The “combined vaccination” is only effective against a certain part of the pathogens causing kennel cough (distemper virus, adenovirus, or parainfluenza virus in the case of certain vaccinations). As an amendment, our guests can be vaccinated against parainfluenza and Bordetella brochiseptica. This can be done with an injection (Pneumocat, basic (first) vaccination at an age of 4-6 weeks, to be repeated after 2-3 weeks, then yearly once), or (preferred) in an intransally (Nobivac KC at an age of 3 weeks, with protection after 3-4 days against Bordetella, to be repeated yearly). At the same time it is important to note, that, in spite of the protection and due to the nature of the disease (might be transferred by less frequent pathogens), your dog might still get sick (in spite of the minimal risk and maximum hygienic standards). The disease often heals by itself, such as a cold among humans. With antitussives, anti-inflammatories, expectorants, vitamins and immune strengtheners, or occasionally antibiotics, the healing can be accelerated and coughing relieved.

Quality Food
Enquire about food selection! At Cat-O-Lodge, even the most basic food (BonaCibo, Brit) is a premium category; the premium (Happy Cat) and super-premium (IAMS) categories offered by our company are the two brands of the highest quality outrighton the market, with exceptionally high ratios of meat and protein.
Cats on Heat
Our company warmly welcomes cats on heat as well! Every owner knows that cats on heat are the source of a number of problems and difficulties. Those living in a house with garden have to fear "unexpected guests" arriving to their dearest. Owners living in apartments have to constantly monitor hygiene in their homes. We constantly have to face or avoid the demanding moments of meeting with male cats, sometimes with no success.
For us, cats on heat do not mean any problem. We keep them separated, in a friendly environment. The owners can always be sure that they get back their cats in their original state, alone. Kindly note that our company charges 50% extra in addition to the regular boarding fees in the case of cats on heat.
Preparation for Export
Our company has extensive experience and is happy to organize the entire procedure of preparing your cat for export in case your country of residence changes. Many people underestimate this set of tasks, of which not only the sequence, but also its content is strictly specified according to international conventions. Unfortunately, if not all examinations are done, not all documents, certificates are filled in according to the requirements, then it can easily happen that your cat's entering into the country is denied and is turned back to the country of origin at the point of arrival (usually the cargo terminal of the airport).
These exams (without attempting to be comprehensive) can be anti-rabies (RNATT) tests, official blood titre certifications by a state veterinary, repeated vaccinations, IFAT, ELISA, Brucellosis, Leishmaniosis, Leptospirosis tests, vaccinations with different timing against distemper, infectious hepatitis (canine advenovirus), feline parvovirus (parvo), para-influenza and Bordetella bronchiseptica, blood sampling by an internationally approved blood sampling institute, repeated treatments against ticks, fleas, internal and external parasites, filling in and mailing of documents and certificates… and the list goes on.
If you wish to forgot these lengthily procedures, we are at your disposal!
