Cat Vaccination Requirements

By Booking with Ellie’s Pet Hotel you ensure your cat will be properly vaccinated prior to drop-off. 

REQUIRED VACCINATIONS

For the safety of every cat in our care, all cats staying at Ellie’s Pet Hotel must be current on the following vaccinations prior to drop-off:

Rabies

Feline Distemper

Feline Leukemia

HOW TO SEND

Records may be:

– Texted to (435-695-3727)

– Emailed to (elliespethotel@gmail.com)

– Sent directly to us by your veterinarian’s office

Your paperwork must clearly show Rabies, Feline Distemper, and Feline Leukemia. If they, please confirm this with your vet and note it in your text or email so we can process your reservation without delay.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Because of the high volume of pets entering and exiting our facility, we are unable to contact veterinary offices to obtain or confirm records. Please provide clear records to prevent any hick-ups during the check-in process.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, clean, and healthy environment for every pet who stays with us. We’re grateful for your partnership in giving your cat the best boarding experience possible.

When do I need to send vaccination records?

Please send records at least 48 hours before your reservation to allow time for review and confirmation.

What if I forget to send records?

If we do not have valid vaccination records on file prior to arrival, we will not be able to check your cat in. This may result in cancellation of your reservation.

Will you call my vet to get records?

Unfortunately, due to the volume of pets we serve, we are unable to contact veterinary offices on your behalf. Records must be submitted by the pet owner or sent directly from the vet.

My boarding is soon and I can’t get into a vet. What do I do?

If you’re in a pinch, we recommend PetsFirst, located right up the street from our Brigham City location. They are often able to accommodate same-day appointments.

Why are these vaccines required?

We care for a high volume of pets each week. Requiring up-to-date vaccinations protects:

  • Your cat

  • Other cats in our care

  • Our staff

Our goal is a safe, clean, and healthy environment for every cat.

PLEASE NOTE

We have no way of knowing whether an incoming guest has been exposed to an upper respiratory virus. An exposed animal may take from 5 to 7 days to show any signs of illness. Pets can contract these viruses on walks, in their own yards if a neighbor’s dog has it, or in the veterinarian’s office — anywhere they may come in close contact (airborne) with other animals. Boarded pets are susceptible to viruses such as bordetella, pneumonitis, etc. Even though all of our guests are vaccinated for these, vaccines are only effective against some strains of upper respiratory viruses and not 100 percent effective against any. These illnesses are usually limited to mild, cold-like symptoms (sneezing, coughing, etc). If you have concerns about this, please discuss them with your veterinarian.
