How Much Does Cat Boarding Cost in Pune? (2025 Breakdown) | Purr Stay Blog

How much does cat boarding cost in Pune?

Cat boarding in Pune typically costs between ₹400 and ₹1,200 per night. Budget facilities with shared kennels start around ₹400–₹500. Mid-range cage-free homes charge ₹550–₹750. Premium or hotel-style boarding runs ₹800–₹1,200. At Purr Stay, our cage-free overnight boarding starts at ₹550/night with all essentials included — no hidden charges.

What does the price include?

The most important question is not how much — it is what do I get? Here is what Purr Stay includes at ₹550/night:

Cage-free private room or shared space with other friendly cats
24/7 monitoring and supervision
Daily feeding according to your schedule
Litter maintenance 2–3 times per day
Playtime and enrichment activities
Daily photo or video updates sent to you
Emergency vet contact and on-call support

What do budget facilities (₹400–₹500/night) typically offer?

At this price point, you usually get shared kennel-style accommodation, basic feeding and litter care, and limited interaction. There is often no daily update service, and staff-to-cat ratios are lower. This is fine for a very short stay if your cat is low-anxiety, but not ideal for longer trips.

What do premium facilities (₹800–₹1,200/night) offer?

At the higher end, you can expect dedicated private suites, live webcam feeds, personalised enrichment plans, grooming services, and vet check-ins included in the price. These are best for cats with special medical needs or very particular temperaments.

Are there any additional charges?

Yes — some common add-ons at most Pune boarding facilities:

Medication administration: ₹100 per dose
Special diet preparation: ₹100 per day
Early/late check-in or check-out: ₹300
Doorstep pickup and drop-off: ₹150–₹300 depending on distance
Grooming (nail trim, brushing): ₹250–₹800

Is cat boarding worth the cost?

Yes — for most cat parents in Pune, professional boarding is far safer and less stressful than leaving your cat with a neighbour or relying on occasional check-ins. A trusted facility provides consistent feeding, litter care, human interaction, and emergency vet access. For ₹550 a night, that's ₹23 an hour for complete peace of mind.
