Finding the right boarding facility for your cat requires more than just a safe place to stay—it requires an environment designed specifically for feline comfort and well-being. King Care Pet Center in Junction, Texas provides professional cat boarding in a quiet, low-stress setting where your cat receives individualized care, comfortable accommodations, and the attention they deserve while you're away.
Why Cat Boarding Requires a Different Approach
Cats are not small dogs. They have distinct behavioral needs, environmental preferences, and stress responses that require specialized boarding accommodations. At our Junction facility, we understand these differences and have designed our cat boarding services accordingly.
Unlike facilities that treat cat boarding as an afterthought to their dog services, we provide dedicated cat condos in a separate, quieter area of our facility. This separation reduces stress for cats who may be sensitive to the sounds and smells of dogs, creating a more comfortable boarding experience.
Our location at 515 Pecan Street in downtown Junction offers the peaceful, rural atmosphere that many cats find less stressful than busy urban boarding facilities. The quieter environment of Kimble County, away from the noise and activity of larger cities like Kerrville or San Angelo, helps cats settle in more quickly and maintain their normal routines during their stay.

Every cat at King Care Pet Center stays in spacious, comfortable accommodations designed specifically for feline needs. Our cat boarding services include:

Cat Boarding Rates
Our cat boarding rates reflect the specialized care and accommodations we provide:
Overnight Cat Boarding
$25 per night
Includes spacious condo, food, litter, bedding, and all amenities for a 24-hour period.
All cat boarding is by appointment only. We recommend booking in advance, especially during holiday periods and peak travel seasons, to ensure your cat has a reserved space when you need it.
Vaccination Requirements for Cat Boarding
To protect all cats in our boarding facility, we require current vaccination records before your cat's stay. The following vaccinations must be up to date:
- Rabies: Current rabies vaccination as required by Texas law
- FVRCP: Protects against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia
Please email vaccination records to info@kingcarepetcenter.com before your cat's scheduled arrival.
These vaccination protocols help maintain a healthy environment for all boarding cats and reduce the risk of disease transmission in a boarding setting. By requiring current vaccinations, we create a safer environment where cats can stay healthy throughout their visit.
Preparing Your Cat for Boarding
To help your cat have the most comfortable boarding experience possible, please bring the following items:
- Your Cat's Regular Food: If your cat eats a specific brand or type of food, bring enough for the entire stay. While we provide quality cat food, maintaining your cat's regular diet prevents digestive upset and stress.
- Feeding Instructions: Include details about how much and how often your cat eats, as well as any dietary restrictions or preferences.
- Medications: If your cat takes any medications, provide them in original containers with clear dosing instructions.
- Favorite Items: A familiar blanket, toy, or other comfort item can help your cat feel more at home. Please label all personal items with your cat's name.
- Carrier: Bring your cat in a secure carrier for safe transport to and from our facility.
While we provide bedding, hammocks, and basic amenities, familiar items from home can make your cat's boarding stay more comfortable, especially for cats who are sensitive to new environments.

The Benefits of Rural Cat Boarding
Junction's rural location provides distinct advantages for cat boarding. Cats are often more sensitive to environmental stressors than dogs, and our quieter Hill Country setting helps create the calm atmosphere that cats need to feel comfortable away from home.
Unlike boarding facilities in busy urban areas, our Junction location offers less noise, less traffic, and a generally more peaceful environment. This can be particularly beneficial for cats who are already stressed about leaving home—the quieter surroundings help them settle in more quickly and maintain their normal eating and sleeping patterns.
Our proximity to natural areas like South Llano River State Park means cleaner air and a more relaxed atmosphere overall. For cat owners in the 76849 area and throughout Kimble County, this rural setting provides a boarding environment that many cats find less stressful than facilities in larger cities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cat Boarding
Is my cat really separated from dogs?
Yes. Cats are housed in a separate, dedicated area away from dogs to minimize stress and create a quiet, calm environment specifically designed for feline comfort.
Can I board multiple cats together?
Yes, cats from the same household can share a larger condo if they're bonded and comfortable together. This often helps cats feel more secure during boarding.
What if my cat is shy or anxious?
We're experienced in caring for cats with various temperaments. Our quiet environment and patient staff help even anxious cats settle in. Let us know about your cat's personality when booking.
Do you provide food, or should I bring my cat's food?
We provide quality cat food, but we encourage you to bring your cat's regular food to maintain their diet and prevent digestive issues, especially if your cat has specific dietary needs or preferences.
Can I visit my cat during their boarding stay?
While we understand you miss your cat, visits can sometimes increase stress and make it harder for cats to settle in. We're happy to provide updates on how your cat is doing during their stay.
