| Hi! I live in Boylston, and my two kids, Pounce and Nutmeg,
regularly visit the Northboro Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Fleishmann
being the owner. They are very professional, and treat your
cats like they were their own. In fact, Pounce and Nutmeg
are on a first name basis there. I used them to board my cats
whenever I went on vacation, and came back to a fatter cat
that picked up somebody else's meow -- (I know that one time
they were next to a siamese...and Nutmeg's meow changed for a
couple of weeks.)
I have been very satisfied with the services there. They are located
on Main Street, about 2-3 miles down for the Northboro town center,
sort of across from the Post Office, and near the Dew Drop Inn.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

The last time I used them, they were $5.00 per day, per cat. That
sounds high to me, and it probably is. I haven't boarded my cats
that last couple of times I've gone away, because a little girl
across the street happens to have a crush on Pounce (and of course,
Pounce likes her a lot too...), so I get her to babysit (with the
help of her mother) in return for free piano lessons. This arrangement
is working out very good.
Only problem was the last time I was away for 10 days
my cats tore the entire house up. The babysitters were shocked,
just horrified at the destruction. They broke several of their
toys, including their crab, in 5 pieces.
Getting back to the NVC, I liked the idea of having the Vets take
care of them in case of an emergency. They have a nice play room
in the back that they let the boarders out separately to stretch
and investigate. They even had my Nutmeg out in the lobby, and
she tore open a bag of food and started eating it. She was purring
and very happy when I returned. They took good care of her. You
may want to call them to see if their rates have increased. They
like a couple of weeks notice if you plan to board your cats with
them. Their number is 393-8339.
