Is it better to board a cat or leave it at home?

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 St. Louis can work well.

In-home cat boarding vs a cattery?

A home stay suits cats that do better with quiet and one familiar person.
