Feline Boarding

Cat Boarding in Lincoln, AR

Welcome to Smithers Animal Hospital-Lincoln, where your cat stays with a caring team under veterinary supervision for a healthy, happy, comfortable stay while you’re away.

Understanding Cat Boarding

Cats are creatures of habit, and a change in routine can be stressful for them. When you need to travel, it helps to know your cat is somewhere quiet, comfortable, and safe.

Our feline guests stay in indoor, climate-controlled boarding in an area separate from our dogs, so cats can relax away from barking and busy kennels. Each boarding cat gets its own kitty condo with a perch ledge, giving them a cozy spot to rest and a little height to watch the world from, which many cats love.

Because our boarding is part of an animal hospital, our team keeps a close eye on each cat’s health. Cats often hide when they don’t feel well, so having trained staff watching for small changes makes a real difference.

What to Expect During Your Cat’s Stay

Here’s how we look after your cat from drop-off to pickup:

A Space of Their Own

Every cat gets a private kitty condo with a perch ledge in our cat boarding area, separate from the dogs. You’re welcome to bring along a bed, blanket, or treats to help your cat feel more at home, although we have everything they will need on hand.

Meals and Medications

A sudden change in diet can cause digestive upset, so we provide all guests with Purina EN, a nutritionally balanced food for sensitive stomachs, unless you bring your cat’s own food from home. We also administer medications and special diets when needed.

Daily Health Checks

Our staff monitors each cat’s appetite and urination and bowel movements, and our veterinarian will be alerted if any problems are noted.

Going Home Fresh

If you’d like, we can also bathe your cat or trim their nails before pickup. Ask about our bathing and grooming add-ons when you book.
