How much does cat boarding cost in Switzerland and what should you look for? Here are prices, required vaccinations and a checklist — plus all catteries in your region.
1. How much does boarding cost?
In Switzerland, a place in a cattery typically costs CHF 25–50 per day per cat. Factors include region, facilities, enclosure size and extras such as medication or individual care. A discount is often offered for two cats sharing.
2. Requirements: vaccinations
Reputable catteries require up-to-date vaccination records: usually feline panleukopenia and cat flu, sometimes rabies. A recent deworming treatment is also recommended.
3. Checklist for choosing
- Cleanliness and smell of the facility
- Enough space and retreat areas
- Cats from different homes kept separate
- Cat-only or dogs on site?
- Care times and availability
- Cooperation with a vet for emergencies
4. Alternatives to boarding
Some cats feel better in their familiar surroundings. A cat sitter visiting once or twice a day, or trusted neighbours, is a lower-stress option for indoor cats.
