Cat boarding accommodation types
Vets on Parker’s cat boarding in Templestowe offers:
- Our multilevel cat condos include a private bedroom for privacy and comfort.
- Reverse cycle air-conditioning – keeping the room at optimal temperature day and night.

In addition, each cat condo and home is equipped with a fluffy bed for your cat to sleep in, a large litter tray and fresh food and water.

We are also able to fully cater for any special dietary requirements your cat may have and you are welcome to bring in other diets or special treats that they like.
Cat Vaccination Certificate requirements
A current F3 flu and enteritis vaccination certificate is required on admission. If your cat’s vaccinations are not up to date, Vets on Parker can vaccinate, worm and provide flea treatment for your cat on admission.
Professional veterinary care is available onsite at our cattery
If your cat needs medical assistance at any time during their stay, we have a fully equipped veterinary clinic just upstairs. We regularly board animals requiring medication and diabetic animals needing insulin. We also collect all your contact details on admission so we can contact you if there are any concerns during your pet’s stay. You are welcome to call us at any time to see how your cat is going.
