As Pets' Place in the Family Becomes More Permanent, the Pet Services Industry Expands

With one-third of US households now owning at least one cat, there is a growing need for cat- and kitten-related services (Humane Society).

RINGWOOD, IL (prHWY.com) July 20, 2012 - With one-third of US households now owning at least one cat, there is a growing need for cat- and kitten-related services (Humane Society). These services are expanding beyond the obvious cat veterinary needs, grooming services and kitten equipment shops. Cat and kitten daycares and boarding kennels are emerging to take care of the felines when their owners can't. Illinois residents especially can now go on vacations knowing their cats and kittens are resting cozily in a Chicago cat boarding kennel with cat-loving sitters. One particular cat boarding kennel, Aldens Kennels, is making an impact on the market of cat and kitten care in Chicago, Illinois.

Cat Boarding: A Growing Market

Great Depression era pet owners wouldn't dream of paying sitters to take care of their pets for any time period. Times have evolved since then. Dog owners began to board their dogs when they would be away for extended lengths, rather than relying solely on neighbors or family. Then it became more usual to board pets for overnight getaways. It is now common practice for dog and cat owners alike to take their pets to daycare while they work, much like their children. As kitten boarding becomes more usual and acceptable, the demand for cat and kitten sitters grows. Owners of new kittens no longer leave their young pets home alone, but are choosing instead to hire sitters for the work day.

Only Posh Treatment for Cats and Kittens

The recession hasn't seemed to dent the care cats and kittens in Chicago, Illinois are privvy to at Aldens Kennels. With pet ownership on the rise, cats are finding themselves to be more a part of their families, and families are seeking care for their cats that they would expect for themselves. It is estimated that cat owners spent over $149 million to board their cats and kittens in 2009 (Dancing Dog).Cat sitters such as Aldens Kennels offer cat and kitten owners accommodations like beds, hammocks, toys and even TVs for their feline guests.
