Services. We agree to provide the specific services to your Cat for each visit as indicated on the Service Card thatwill be filled out for each of your Cat’s visits (“Services”). We will exercise reasonable judgment as we provide the Services.
Payment for Services. You agree to pay us for the Services we provide to your Cat(s) during each visit at therates set forth at the start of such visit (collectively the “Charges”). Prices are subject to change without notice andseasonal rates may apply. Charges begin on the day you leave your Cat(s). Boarding check out time is by noon on the departure date and additional Charges will be due for late check out. If you do not pay your bill in full at check-out, MEOWCLASS is required to return your Cat to you at the time of check-out. You understand, however, that you will remain liable for all Charges incurred during your Cat’s stay, and MEOWCLASS reserves the right to collect any unpaid balance.

Your Agent*. You must provide an adult, over the age of 18, as a contact (‘Agent”) for the boarding if you are unable to be reached in case of emergency. Your Agent must also be someone other than the primary Cat Parent(s) and should not be someone traveling with you if you are leaving town. If we cannot reach you, you authorize us to contact your Agent. You agree that your Agent shall have your full and complete authority to make any and all decisions, including those related to the health of your Cat and the expenditure of funds, for or on behalf of you and your Cat.
Emergencies. In an emergency or natural disaster, every effort will be made to contact you or your Agent to retrieve your Cat. You agree that MEOWCLASS, at its sole discretion, is authorized to transport, and/or to make temporary alternative arrangements to house and care for your Cat until you or your Agent can retrieve the Cat. You understand it may not always be possible to safely evacuate your Cat.
Check-In and Check-Out. The lobby is open for check-in and check-out as posted at MEOWCLASS. We may require government issued identification before releasing the Cat(s) to ensure we only release your Cat to you, your Agent.

Cat Health and Behavior. We reserve the right to refuse to accept a Cat at check-in for any reason, including without limit, if it appears to us the Cat is sick, injured, in pain, or that its behavior could jeopardize the health or safety of other Cats or our staff.
- No Cat can stay with us unless the Cat is healthy and we have confirmation from a licensed veterinarian or approved designee that the Cat has received all vaccinations required by MEOWCLASS.
- If at any time your Cat is found to have fleas or ticks, we may provide the appropriate flea or tick removal treatment, and you authorize us to provide such service at your additional expense.
- You represent that your Cat has no illness, injury or behavior problem (including aggressive or biting behavior) that has not been disclosed to us.
