TANDEM Cat® Professional Education

Boarding Teams

Boarding creates a transition environment in which appetite, elimination, movement, hiding, social behavior, coat, grooming, medication routines, and sensory load can change quickly. TANDEM gives teams a structured way to notice and communicate those changes.

Recognize change earlier when cats are away from home

Observation, support, documentation, and escalation

  • Baseline at arrival and meaningful change over time.
  • Transition, hiding, appetite, hydration, elimination, posture, mobility, coat, claws, and hygiene.
  • Room setup, sound, light, airflow, sequence, and staff movement.
  • Medication workflow and veterinary instructions within the facility’s scope.
  • Shift-to-shift notes, guardian communication, and escalation thresholds.

Role Certificate -> Team Sprint -> Facility Implementation

Organizations with medical-aware or high-complexity boarding may need a customized implementation scope rather than course seats alone.
