Cattery & Cat Boarding near Toorak
Elgar Road Vet offer safe & caring cattery services near Toorak and surrounding communities.
Our team has been providing boarding services for over 25 years, catering to both short-term and long-term stays.
HISTORY
D.B. Boarding was established by Devon Bayly, a young vet nurse, when she recognised the demand for a cat boarding service among her veterinary clients. Since then, little has changed, and the notion of providing a secure, cosy, and compassionate environment for cats while they're away from home persists.
ETHOS
Our staff is committed to providing your cat with the best possible care. We take pride in learning about each cat's unique personality and tailoring our services to meet their specific needs. Whether your feline friend enjoys sunbathing, receiving chin rubs and head butts, staying independent and aloof, or chasing water droplets, we have you covered. Our knowledgeable and experienced team closely monitors each boarder and looks out for any signs that might suggest something is amiss. If necessary, we offer extra attention, a change in food, or a visit to the vet to ensure the comfort and well-being of our clients' cherished cats.
FOOD
At D.B. Boarding, we recognise that cats are creatures of habit, and keeping to their home diet is essential. That's why we request that our clients provide us with their cat's dietary preferences on our Admission Form to maintain their routine and minimise disruptions.
We cater to your cat's dietary preferences by offering a selection of premium feline diets, such as Advance, Hills Science and Hills Prescription Diets, Royal Canin Veterinary diets, and a variety of Whiskas soft food.
If your cat is a fussy eater, we recommend that you bring along their preferred diets to keep them content and comfortable during their stay with us.
MEDICATION
Our staff is equipped to care for cats with special needs, such as those on medication for hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, kidney or urinary tract issues. Our on-site veterinary clinic provides peace of mind, as any issues or emergencies can be attended to immediately by our duty veterinarian.
At D.B. Boarding, a medication surcharge ranging from $1.50 to $3.00 per day applies to cats with special requirements that need medication. We also offer care for diabetic cats. Please contact us via phone or email for further information.
