We do need to verify your cat’s vaccination status by sighting a current vaccination certificate (your cat’s last vaccination must be no more than 12 months ago). If your cat is overdue for their vaccination, we recommend you vaccinate your cat at least 2 weeks prior to your expected boarding check-in date. If your cat is nearing a vaccination renewal, our Veterinary Surgeons can perform this during your cats stay with us.
The minimum vaccination requirement for cats at our Hotel is a “F3” vaccination, which provides immunity against Feline Panleucopaenia, Feline Calicivrius and Feline Herpes Virus. For those who are also outdoors, vaccination against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is also recommended but this is not required to enter our Hotel as our guests are never socialized or mixed.
If you do not have a copy of your cat’s latest vaccination you can obtain one easily by contacting your previous Vet. If you are an existing client of Balmain Veterinary Hospital, we have all of these details on record.
An administration fee of $35.00 will apply if our staff need to track down your pets vaccination certificate to verify their vaccination status.
Boarders will be held in isolation and not allowed into the Hotel until a valid vaccination certificate has been sighted and validated.
