Diabetic & Medical Cat Boarding — Reliable Medication Care, 7 Days a Week
If your cat needs insulin or daily medication, you don’t need to compromise.
We provide calm, consistent boarding care for diabetic and medically complex cats on the Gold Coast.
Boarding diabetic cats requires experience and consistency
We often speak with owners who are unsure where to turn when their cat needs insulin or regular medication. For cats with medical needs, consistency matters, and finding the right boarding option can feel overwhelming.
Our medical boarding option is designed for cats who need reliable, twice-daily medication care, with routines that prioritise safety and calm handling.
You don’t need to compromise on your cat’s care while you’re away.

An important note about medical boarding
Boarding is a different environment from home, and some cats may eat less or behave differently during the first days of their stay. For cats with diabetes or other medical conditions, changes in appetite or stress levels can affect how medication is tolerated.
If needed, insulin or medication doses may be adjusted conservatively to prioritise your cat’s safety. Any adjustments are made thoughtfully and with your cat’s wellbeing in mind.
For some cats, a continuous glucose monitor (such as a Libre sensor) can be helpful during boarding. If this is something you already use or would like to discuss, we’re happy to talk it through before your cat’s stay.
Our approach is calm, cautious and centred on keeping your cat safe and settled.
