Feline Boarding
When you leave your cat in someone else’s care, you want to feel confident that your feline friend will be comfortable during your absence. Cats rely on familiar routines, quiet surroundings, and a sense of security, and even a short change in environment can be stressful. Many boarding facilities are designed mainly around dogs, leaving cats exposed to barking, unfamiliar activity, and constant noise. Heilmeier’s Bed & Biscuit is different. Your cat stays in a completely separate feline area created for calm, relaxed boarding, and you can rest easier knowing a full veterinary team is available on-site.
A Feline Facility Designed for Comfort
Our feline accommodations give your cat a secure, home-like place to relax during either a short visit or an extended stay. We offer both single-level and multi-level condos, with enough room for your cat to rest, stretch, and settle in without feeling crowded.
Each condo includes separate areas for food, water, and litter. Keeping these spaces apart creates a cleaner, more comfortable setup and better reflects the routines many cats prefer at home. There is also dedicated storage for your cat’s belongings, so you can send familiar items that may help them feel more at ease.
Most importantly, our feline boarding area is completely separate from our K-9 facility. Your cat will not be housed near barking dogs, busy dog runs, or the kind of activity that can make boarding more stressful. From arrival through pickup, your cat remains in a quieter space intended just for our feline guests.
Feeding, Special Diets, and Medication Care
We feed Science Diet Adult cat food during your cat’s stay unless you provide a special diet. Maintaining a familiar feeding routine can make a meaningful difference, especially for cats with sensitive stomachs, food allergies, medical needs, or strong preferences. You are welcome to bring your cat’s regular food along with clear feeding instructions.
We can also accommodate foods that need refrigeration or warming. With access to both a refrigerator and microwave, we can care for cats whose meals require more than opening a bag or can. This flexibility is especially helpful for senior cats, cats with medical dietary needs, and cats who are more likely to eat when their usual routine is maintained.
If your cat takes medication, we can administer it during the stay for a small daily fee. Many standard boarding facilities are not equipped to manage medications, special diets, or detailed feeding schedules. At Heilmeier’s Bed & Biscuit, those needs can be discussed ahead of time so you know your cat’s routine will be followed carefully.
Veterinary Peace of Mind While You’re Away
Having a licensed veterinary team on-site is one of the biggest differences between Heilmeier’s Bed & Biscuit and standard cat boarding in Foley, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach. Your cat will be just steps away from Animal Medical Center. Dr. Kasey Singley, Dr. Meghan Brumby, and Dr. Scarlett Anderson and their experienced veterinary staff understand feline behavior, health, and comfort.
If something changes during your cat’s stay, there is more than a kennel attendant available to provide any care or treatment necessary. A missed meal, unusual behavior, signs of stress, or another health concern can be noticed and evaluated by trained veterinary professionals. That added oversight is especially reassuring if your cat is older, takes medication, follows a special diet, or has difficulty adjusting to new surroundings. You can enjoy your trip knowing your cat is staying somewhere that takes both comfort and health seriously.
