What this sheet is for
Catch a cat that has gone off its food or its tray on the second day rather than at collection, and show the owner exactly what happened while they were away.
Who it is for
Boarding catteries, and rescues or vets who board cats for more than a night.
How to use it
- Fill in the cat, pen and dates when it arrives, and note whether the vaccination card was seen.
- Copy the owner's feeding and medication instructions in word for word.
- Write down anything the owner tells you about temperament and handling.
- Complete one line per day and initial it — food, tray, medication, how the cat seemed.
- Send the card home with the cat, or keep it on file with the booking.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A pen card for one boarding cat — the owner's instructions, then one line per day of what it ate, used and how it seemed.
The owner's instructions, your observations. Food, amounts and medicine are the owner's and their vet's instructions, not the cattery's — copy them in as given. The daily lines are for what actually happened, so a cat going off its food shows on day two, not at collection.
Write-on lines: Cat's name · Pen no. · Owner & phone · In · Out · Breed / colour / distinguishing marks · Age · Sex / neutered · Vaccination card seen · Feeding — food, amount and times, as the owner instructs · Own food brought? · Water / litter preference · Medication — name, amount, times, as prescribed · Owner's vet & phone · Temperament, handling notes, things that upset this cat
Daily lines — one row per day; initial each row
Table, 9 rows: Date · Fed am · Fed pm · Ate · Tray · Meds · Groom / play · Seemed · Init.
Questions
Why are there no feeding amounts or medication doses printed?
Because they are the owner's and the owner's vet's, and they differ for every cat. The blocks at the top are for their instructions as given; the daily lines are for what was actually done.
What if the cat stops eating?
The sheet is there so you notice on the day rather than later. What to do about it is between you, the owner and the owner's vet, whose number is on the card for that reason.

Record every dose as it is actually given, so that two people in the same house cannot both give the tablet or both assume the other did. It also gives your vet something factual to read at the follow-up.

Pet Feeding and Weight Chart
Track weight against what the animal is actually being fed, so a change in one can be read against the other. A single weighing tells you very little; a column of them taken the same way each time is something a vet can use.
