The Fuzzy Friends Inn Policies:

By boarding your pet at Fuzzy Friends Inn, you agree to the following policies:

  • All dogs and cats must have current vaccinations. An electronic copy of vaccination records needs to be received prior to stay. All pets must be free of fleas and ticks or they will be given a capstar. Owner is responsible for cost. It is recommended to bathe your dog before stay, if they need it.

  • Fuzzy friends Inn by Katja Killingsworth, thereafter referred to only as Katja Killingsworth, cannot guarantee that toys, blankets, or beds will be kept in the same condition as brought in. For safety reasons, tennis balls and raw hides are NOT allowed. Leashes, beds and anything else left may be damaged or lost.

  • All dogs must be on a leash when entering or leaving the premises. Cats must be in a travel crate or on leash.

  • I recommend that you bring in your food since changing a pet’s food can cause a severe upset stomach. If I provide food, the extra charge will be $1 for small dogs and cats, and $2 for dogs over 30lbs, per day, and they will receive a limited ingredient diet.

  • You understand that there are no concrete kennels here with 8 foot fences. You take responsibility for your pet possibly digging out or climbing over fences.

  • Each meal may be pre-portioned in individual sealed baggies, or I will accept containers of food with feeding instructions. A refrigerator is available for opened canned goods and medications. You may also bring treats to be given per your instruction.

  • I CANNOT BOARD ANY FEMALE DOG IN HEAT OR UNEUTERED MALE CAT. Since I may have both neutered and unneutered males, I cannot guarantee the safety of all boarders if I have a dog in heat and male cats may urinate against walls and furnishings.

  • Dog owner will decide NOT to allow community play time. This must be stated clearly. Owner understands the risks involved with community play for dogs. Although I will offer great care, the unpredictable personality of dogs can sometimes lead to injury. Dog owner agrees that any problem that develops with their dog will be treated as deemed best by Fuzzy Friends Inn and full financial responsibility for all expenses will be assumed by the dog owner.

  • Pet owner understands that Katja Killingsworth’s liability, of any circumstance related to the animal, will not exceed the current chattel value of a animal of the same breed as the one in our care.

  • Due to the communal nature of our playgroups, and for safety/liability concerns, Katja Killingsworth does not allow any aggressive dogs for community play.

  • Emergency Vet: It is in the best interest of any pet in an emergency situation to go to my vet, as I am familiar with them and their location and can get there quickly and know your pet receives great care. Owner will be contacted as soon as possible to speak to the vet. If my vet is closed, pet will be taken to the emergency animal clinic in Killeen. Owner agrees to reimburse Katja Killingsworth up to $500 for paid medical care PRIOR to picking up the pet.

  • Abandoned Pet Procedure Unless otherwise required by applicable law, if you fail to pick up your pet(s) by the designated time and have failed to make satisfactory alternative arrangements with Katja Killingsworth, I will continue to provide basic service to ensure the pet’s health and safety, and charges will continue to accrue. I will make best efforts to contact you using the information you provided, advising you that if your pet(s) is not picked up within a reasonable time period (14 days after notification to owner, as per State Law), your pet(s) will be deemed to be abandoned and that Katja Killingsworth will deliver the pet(s) to a third-party adoption partner or to Copperas Cove Animal Control and adoption cannot be guaranteed. You understand that you may lose ownership of your pet(s) under these circumstances. If you fail to pick up your pet(s) for any reason, you release Katja Killingsworth from all further liability and responsibility for your pet(s). You shall remain liable to Katja Killingsworth for all unpaid charges, including without limitation the court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in the collection of such charges.
