Long-stay boarding · Chinatown, Singapore
A week, a month or six months. A long stay shouldn't cost a cat their routine or their personality.
If you are boarding a cat for a week, the answer is short. The nightly rate is the same as it is for two nights or for two months. Changes to the booking are complimentary up to 48 hours before check-in. And the same care team is with your cat every day of that week.
Most cat boarders are built for the long weekend. A long stay is a different problem: three weeks of renovation, two months of relocation, the in-between of a house move. The cat doesn't "adjust" the way a holiday rental promises. They just live there, and how they live shapes how they come home to you.
We've kept guests from 14 nights to over six months. The cats that do well long-stay are the ones whose routine doesn't break: same suite, same handler, same feeding rhythm, same window, same view. We build for that on day one of the booking, not week three.
14 to 29 nights
Most cats are fully relaxed by night five. We track appetite and litter use daily, send photo updates twice a week, and keep the same care team on rotation so the cat sees familiar faces every day. Good fit for renovation overruns and longer family trips.
30 to 89 nights
We weigh weekly and flag any change above 5%. You get a fortnightly written update. Not a marketing email; an actual note on what your cat is doing, eating, sleeping on. Suite assignment is locked from day one so we're not moving them mid-stay. Best fit for relocation, expat handovers, and extended business travel.
90+ nights
Long resident stays get a written care plan agreed with you up front: medication, vet contact, grooming cadence, what to do if appetite drops, who picks them up if the timeline shifts. We've done six-month stays where the cat went home calmer than they arrived. It's possible. It's also work, and we plan for it.
The suite your cat books on day one is the suite they keep, one of the private rooms across the three floors of our cat-only conserved shophouse in Chinatown. We don't shuffle long-stay guests to free up rooms for short bookings, so a week here is a week in one room, with the same window and the same view, rather than a series of moves.
Weekly weigh-ins on the same scale. Any drop above 5% triggers a vet conversation, not a wait-and-see.
Logged at every meal. Two missed meals in a row is a flag, even if the cat looks fine on the camera.
Recorded daily. Long stays reveal slow shifts (constipation, IBD flare) that a weekend wouldn't catch.
Hiding, vocalising, change in greeting. The things only a regular handler notices. Same handler on rotation means we notice.
Twice-weekly photo updates by default. More if you ask. Real photos, not stock smiling-cat images.
We hold your vet's contact and your written authority for vet visits up to a pre-agreed cap. Faster than tracking you down on day 47.
Long-stay rates start from the same nightly suite price as short stays. Classic Suite from SGD 60/night. There's no surcharge for long bookings, and no automatic discount; the rate covers a real cost we hold for the duration. We're transparent about that rather than fake-discounting and re-marking.
I'm Charlotte, the founder. Ten years with cats. My own cat, Kuro, has been here through every long stay we've hosted. He tells me quickly if the place still feels like a home, not a facility. If you'd like to meet me before booking a long stay, we can do that. Most long-stay clients want to.
About Charlotte and Kuro →Yes. Long-stay clients usually book a 30-minute visit every two to four weeks. Booked in advance so we keep the day calm for the other guests. Video calls (15 minutes) work well for clients overseas, and we schedule them to your time zone.
We administer oral and topical medication on schedule, with photo confirmation logged for each dose. Sub-cutaneous fluids and insulin are handled too. Bring the supplies, the schedule, and your vet's contact. Long stays make medication routine: the same hand, the same time, every day.
Tell us as early as you can. We protect long-stay suite assignments, but the calendar fills. A two-week notice on extension is comfortable; a 48-hour notice is workable; same-day depends on what's already booked. We'd rather you ask early than guess.
Yes, in suites sized for it. Two bonded cats in one Loft Suite keep each other settled, usually better than splitting them. Three or more cats: we'll talk through whether one suite or two makes more sense for the length of stay.
Most cats are settled by night five. The ones that aren't usually need one specific change: a different feeding window, a familiar blanket from home, the suite light off at night, less foot traffic past the door. We try the change, log what worked, and tell you. We don't medicate to settle a stay.
Tell us the dates and we'll come back with availability and a written plan for the stay. No deposit needed to start the conversation.
