Chapter I

Preparing for Your Cat's Stay

Preparing for your cat's stay at Kuro Cat Hotel
  1. Q.01What are the admission requirements?

    Your cat must be fully vaccinated, or have a valid vet memo certifying they are fit for boarding. All guests 8 months of age or older (or showing signs of sexual maturity) must be sterilised. From 1 September 2026, every cat must be microchipped and hold a valid AVS licence. We will need the licence number and the licence document before check-in. We require all cats to have received a current spot-on treatment for external and internal parasites applied at check-in or within the past 30 days. Your cat must be healthy, free from injury, or any signs of illness (including fleas, ticks, and worms) upon arrival.

  2. Q.02Do I need to get my cat tested for FIV/FELV?

    For risk management reasons, only FIV/FeLV negative cats may access the common play areas. Cats that test positive, or that have not been tested, are still welcome to board in their private suite with no common-area access. The test is only needed if you want your cat to use the shared play area.

  3. Q.03What should I pack for my cat?

    Please provide enough of your cat's usual food (wet and/or dry) for the duration of the stay, plus an extra 10% buffer. We provide premium dust-free tofu litter, but you may bring your cat's preferred brand. Bring a favourite blanket, bed, or a piece of your worn clothing, so the suite smells of home. If your cat needs specific grooming, bring the grooming tools too.

  4. Q.04What are the check-in and check-out times?

    Standard check-in is 3pm – 6pm and check-out is 10am – 12pm. Early check-in from 11am costs S$20; late check-out to 6pm costs S$20. Arrange either service in advance.

  5. Q.05Can my cat take medication during their stay?

    Yes. Send the prescription, written schedule and vet contact before booking so we can confirm the arrangements. Oral medication and supplements are S$5 per feeding session, and topical medication is S$5 per application.

  6. Q.06Do you offer pet taxi transport?

    Yes. Pet taxi is S$40 each way for up to 2 cats, or S$80 two-way. Stays of 5 nights or more include complimentary two-way pet taxi transport, which is not stackable with other promotions.

  7. Q.07Where are you located and how do I get there?

    We're at 21A Kreta Ayer Road, Singapore 088991, a 2-minute walk from Maxwell MRT Exit 3 in Chinatown. Street parking on Kreta Ayer Road is available but limited at weekends, and the closest paid car park is People's Park Complex (3 min walk). Most clients use a 5-minute drop-off slot directly outside; we help carry carriers in.

Trust & Safety

  1. Q.01How can I watch my cat during their stay?

    Every suite has its own camera and access to it is included in the rate, at no extra charge. You can look in on your cat at any hour of the day or night, from wherever you are.

  2. Q.02Will my cat be kept with other cats?

    Never. Every cat gets a private suite, with no shared sleeping space. Cats from each household take turns in the common play area. There is no mixing of cats from different households.

  3. Q.03Is Kuro Cat Hotel a cat-only hotel? Do you take dogs?

    Yes, Kuro Cat Hotel is cat-only. We never board dogs or any other animals, so your cat never shares the building with a barking dog or an unfamiliar species. The whole of our conserved Chinatown shophouse, across two storeys, is kept just for cats.

  4. Q.04Are the suites private, or are cats kept in cages?

    Every cat stays in a private suite rather than a cage. Each cat has its own enclosed suite with dedicated feeding, litter, and rest space, and vertical room to climb. Cats from different households are never housed together.

  5. Q.05How much daily attention does my cat get?

    Every guest receives a minimum of one interactive session daily. For shy cats, we use Feliway pheromones and gentle, hands-off company until they feel comfortable.

  6. Q.06What cleaning protocols do you follow?

    We perform twice-daily deep cleaning of all suites using F10 hospital-grade disinfectants, with full sanitisation between guests. The facility runs 24/7 air-conditioning with HEPA air purification.

  7. Q.07Is Kuro Cat Hotel licensed?

    Yes. We are fully licensed by Singapore's Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS): Cert AVS00145 and Pet Boarding (Cats) Licence BD26004. Our team is also Fear Free certified, using evidence-based techniques to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in cats.

  8. Q.08What happens in an emergency?

    If your cat shows signs of illness or distress, we will contact you immediately. If veterinary attention is needed, we will take your cat to a vet; after hours, the nearest emergency clinic is Pets Avenue Clinic in River Valley. Emergency veterinary costs are the owner's responsibility. If we cannot reach you, we will proceed with emergency care in the best interest of your cat.

Booking & Pricing

Booking and pricing at Kuro Cat Hotel
  1. Q.01How much does cat boarding cost?

    Boarding costs S$60 per night for a Classic Suite up to S$120 per night for the Premium Villa, and every suite rate covers two cats from the same household. The Classic and Loft Suites hold two cats; in the Sky Villa and Premium Villa a third cat onward is S$20 per night each. Full pricing and photos of every suite are on our suites page.

  2. Q.02How do I book a stay?

    Book online through our booking portal, or message us on WhatsApp at +65 8775 7025 for assistance.

  3. Q.03What is the cancellation policy?

    Welcome-promotion bookings and agreed long-stay specials are non-cancellable and non-refundable. Other bookings follow the standard boarding terms. Cancellations made 14 days or more before check-in receive a full refund less a 5% processing fee. Within 14 days of check-in, at no-show, if your cat is rejected at admission, or for during-stay cancellations within 14 days of the new check-out date, two nights of room fees are retained in addition to the 5% processing fee. Peak-season dates are non-refundable unless we can rebook them. Refunds are processed within 2 working days to the original payment method, and changes to bookings are complimentary up to 48 hours before check-in.

  4. Q.04Can I board multiple cats together?

    Yes. Our Sky Villa (up to 3 cats) and Premium Villa (up to 5 cats) are designed for multi-cat families. Bonded cats from the same household share the suite. Additional guests are S$20/night each.

  5. Q.05Should I book a cat hotel or a cat sitter?

    It depends on your cat and the care you arrange. A sitter keeps your cat at home and visits on an agreed schedule. At Kuro, staff are on site daily from 9am to 7pm, and every suite has a private camera you can open at any hour.

  6. Q.06What exclusive offers and rewards are available?

    New guests save on a first stay, longer stays save more, a referral earns a credit toward the next stay, and PLC members have benefits of their own. Every current offer, its code and its conditions are on our Exclusive Offers and Rewards page at kurocats.sg/promotions.
