Monett Veterinary Hospital, a full-service AAHA-accredited animal care facility serving southwestern Missouri since 1953, emphasizes the importance of professional boarding services for feline companions as travel season approaches and pet owners seek reliable care options for their cats.
The hospital's Monett Veterinary Cat Boarding service provides specialized accommodations designed specifically for feline comfort and well-being, addressing the unique needs of cats who require care while their owners are away. Located in Monett, Missouri, the facility serves pet owners throughout the region, including Aurora and surrounding communities.

"Cats have very specific environmental and social needs that differ significantly from dogs, which is why dedicated feline boarding spaces are essential," said Erin Carnes, Veterinarian at Monett Veterinary Hospital. "Our boarding facility maintains separate, quiet areas for cats, reducing stress and ensuring each feline guest receives individualized attention and care throughout their stay."
The hospital's boarding services represent one component of its comprehensive care offerings, which include routine and specialized surgery, radiology, internal medicine, preventive care, and grooming. As an AAHA-accredited facility that received the AAHA Commitment to Excellence Award in 2007, Monett Veterinary Hospital maintains strict standards for all services, including its boarding operations.
The Monett Veterinary Pet boarding service accommodates both dogs and cats, with dedicated spaces and protocols for each species. Staff members trained in animal behavior and health monitoring supervise all boarded pets, ensuring medical needs are addressed promptly and any concerns are documented and communicated to pet owners.
Feline boarding at the hospital includes climate-controlled indoor spaces, regular feeding schedules tailored to each cat's dietary requirements, daily health observations, and administration of any required medications. The facility's connection to full veterinary services means that should any health concerns arise during a cat's stay, immediate medical attention is available.
"We understand that leaving a pet in someone else's care can be stressful for owners, particularly with cats who are often more sensitive to environmental changes," added Carnes. "Our team focuses on maintaining consistent routines and providing enrichment activities that help cats feel secure and comfortable during their boarding experience."
The boarding facility operates within the hospital's established infrastructure, which includes a complete in-house laboratory, pharmacy, and diagnostic imaging capabilities. This integration allows boarding staff to quickly address any health issues that may develop during a pet's stay, providing peace of mind for traveling pet owners.
Established by Dr. C.J. McCormick in 1953, Monett Veterinary Hospital has served the southwestern Missouri region for more than seven decades. The hospital's evolution from a single-veterinarian practice to a comprehensive animal care facility reflects its commitment to meeting the changing needs of pet owners and their companions. Today, the hospital offers services ranging from preventive wellness programs to advanced surgical procedures, maintaining its position as a trusted resource for pet care in Monett and surrounding communities, including Aurora, Missouri.
