Cat Boarding
in Belton, MO
A peaceful retreat designed for cats
Most boarding facilities treat cats like small dogs. Lily's Play-N-Stay built a dedicated cat space at our Main Street campus with everything cats actually want: vertical climbing, sunbathing, privacy, in-cottage dining, and a low-stress room of their own.

A Space Designed for Cats, Not Borrowed from the Dogs
Run by Dog People Who Get Cats Too
Amy Klein opened Lily's Play-N-Stay at 511 Main St. in Belton on July 1, 2021 with a simple idea: every pet deserves the same care you'd give your own, cats very much included. The cat suite at Main Street is climate-controlled, quiet, and physically separate from the dog program areas. Your cat doesn't share air, sound, or sight with our dog guests.
Built for the Pet Parent, Not the Audit
A higher standard of cleanliness, a 24/7 alarm + security system, and trained staff comfortable handling cats of every temperament. Required vaccines: rabies and FVRCP. FeLV if your cat goes outdoors. (USDA-inspected and Belton fire-code compliant, of course.)
Trained, Familiar Caregivers
The same handlers who care for cats during a stay are the ones you'll meet at drop-off. No rotating shift staff.
Stays That Give Back
3% of every program at Lily's is donated to Lily's Rescue Rehab, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your cat's stay helps a rescue dog find their family. Learn more →

Frequently Asked
Common Questions, Direct Answers
How much does cat boarding cost in Belton, MO?
Cat boarding at Lily's Play-N-Stay is $45 per night, all-inclusive. The rate covers your cat's private cottage, food service (using food you provide), litter, daily wellness check, and a nightly digital report card.
What vaccines does my cat need?
Rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia) at minimum. If your cat goes outdoors or interacts with other cats, FeLV is also recommended.
Can I bring my cat's food?
Yes, and we recommend it. Bringing your cat's regular food keeps their diet consistent during a stay, which reduces stomach upset and stress.
Are the cat suites separate from the dogs?
Yes. Our cat suite at Main Street is in a dedicated, climate-controlled space physically separate from the dog program areas. Cats don't share air, sound, or sight with our dog guests.
What if my cat is shy or anxious?
Cat's Paradise is designed for low-stress stays. Hidden litter, in-cottage dining, vertical climbing, and minimal disruption let shy cats keep to themselves while still getting daily wellness checks. Note any specific anxieties on your Gingr profile.
Can my cats stay together?
Yes. Cats from the same household can share a cottage. Call (816) 388-3737 if you have more than two cats or unusual needs.
What if my cat needs medication?
We administer oral and topical medications as part of the daily wellness check. Bring medications in clearly labeled containers. There may be a small administration fee for complex schedules.
Will I get updates while my cat is here?
Yes. A nightly digital report card with a photo and short note is delivered through the Gingr app or web portal.
How far in advance should I book?
Holiday weeks and summer travel sell out. Book as soon as you have travel dates confirmed. Off-peak weekday stays are usually available with a day's notice.
Do you also board dogs and exotic pets?
Yes. See our dog boarding page and exotic pet boarding page.
