-- Belle Aire Kennels has enhanced its pet boarding services to address the specialized needs of cats experiencing anxiety during stays away from home. The facility has introduced tailored care approaches for feline guests whose anxiety-related behaviors—ranging from inappropriate urination to excessive grooming and aggression—require more attention than standard boarding accommodations typically offer. This responds directly to concerns raised by cat owners who have struggled to find facilities equipped to handle the unique stressors that trigger anxiety-related behaviors in their pets.

The need for specialized cat care is increasingly evident as pet anxiety becomes more readily diagnosed, affecting a significant portion of the companion animal population. An independent survey of 2,000 pet owners found that 52% observe separation anxiety in their pets overall, while cats specifically display symptoms that include changes in litter box habits, destructive scratching, and heightened vocalization. Standard boarding environments often lack the resources to mitigate these stress responses, leaving anxious cats vulnerable to worsening behavioral patterns and potential health complications during their owners' absences.
Belle Aire Kennels addresses these challenges through a structured approach that combines professional expertise with continuous oversight. Owners John and Melissa O'Driscoll maintain a 24/7 on-site presence at the facility, ensuring that cats receive consistent human interaction and supervision throughout their stay.
Owners are encouraged to provide litter, food and a special toy or blanket from home in order to create a sense of familiarity. Additional pet calming devices, such as pheromone diffusers that release synthetic versions of the comforting scents mother cats produce, can also be provided by owners to establish a sense of security throughout the boarding, while secure enclosures provide safe spaces where cats can retreat when overwhelmed.
Personalized care plans allow staff to adjust routines based on each animal's response to the environment, and behavioral modification techniques are applied consistently, helping cats develop healthier coping mechanisms that extend beyond their boarding experience.
These services build on Belle Aire Kennels' foundation of more than 60 years serving the pet care needs of Downers Grove, Naperville, and surrounding communities. The kennel's long operational history has allowed staff to refine their understanding of animal behavior and develop protocols that address evolving challenges in companion animal welfare, offering cat owners a local resource that combines accessibility with specialized knowledge.
