It depends on the cat. Many cats cope best on their own turf, and for them a drop-in visit or a sitter staying at your place is the easier option. Boarding suits cats that get lonely, need medication on a schedule, or settle quickly in a new room. If your cat hides for days after a move, keep them home. If they like company, a quiet sitter's home in Portland can work well.

A cattery keeps many cats in pens or condos, with staff working shifts. In-home boarding means your cat stays in one sitter's home, usually with few or no other cats, and the same person feeds them and sends you updates. A cattery suits owners who want a fixed facility. A home stay suits cats that do better with quiet and one familiar person.

Seven nights at Portland rates of $40 to $72 a night comes to about $280 to $504. Each sitter sets their own price for longer stays, so confirm the total with them before you book.
