Kate is super nice and provides a superior experience for our kitty Bagle. Kate has been boarding out pets for several years (4 or 5). This is a five star establishment.
Company details
Written by the company
Stay Kitty Stay is a cat only facility where cats stay in custom built kitty suites that are available in various sizes and prices. We are a small facility which allows us to give each cat guest individualized attention during their stay. We have 10 cat boarding suites that hold from 1 to 6 cats comfortably. Long term stays can be accommodated! Each suite was designed to keep cats happy and secure. Each suite features all glass doors, windows that look out onto a garden, cat climbing & scratching posts and plenty of stimulating cat toys, All suites that feature a window include the option of a secure private "catio" so your cat can get fresh air throughout the day! All cats are offered recess/play time throughout the day which allows them the exercise they need and keeps them mentally stimulated! During recess your cat will have the cattery room all to themselves (they will not interact with any other cat). Our staff will engage with your cat, play, brush, pet and basically give them whatever they need to make them feel secure and happy! We always let the cats lead how much interaction they want with us, and do our best to gain their trust during their stay! We are owned and managed by an all cat rescue organization, Felines For Adoption Cat Rescue. All staff/volunteers have had years of experience working with cats of all types of temperaments and medical conditions! We recommend that you book with us as soon as you make your plans, since we tend to book up quickly especially around major holidays and during the summer months!

It’s like camp for cats!
Oreo had a great time during her week long stay! She was well cared for and happy! The facility is clean, inviting and all precautions are taken to ensure the cats who are boarding do not come into contact with the cats who live there waiting to be adopted. Best of all, there are no dogs! Highly recommend!

Stay Kitty Stay for life! So grateful!
Kate is a consummate kitty lover and cares for them so capably and kindly - it is always a pleasure and a relief when I know they're at Stay Kitty Stay. Though we miss them when we go away, we receive beautiful, funny pictures of them in their digs, taken and sent by Kate. SKS is far and away my favorite small business, and it's doubly special because the business funds the cat rescue operation. All the stars and three cheers for Kate and Stay Kitty Stay - hip hop hooray!!!

Our cat’s home away from home
Kate is amazing at what she does. A true cat lover, she really understands how to make our cat feel at home and comfortable, and also make us feel secure during his time there. I especially love that she sends daily pics and vids, which also feature her playing and interacting with our cat. Our cat is pretty timid and shy, and being away from home is always tough for him, but somehow Kate makes him feel comfortable here. Dare I say, I think he’s a little sad to leave when we pick him up, and he especially misses the catio!

Cats were well cared for during our trip
The facility was extremely clean. The space for each cat allowed them plenty of space and the outdoor catteries kept them entertained. We liked that we were able to check in on them via the camera set up in each indoor enclosure. Would definitely recommend.

We love Stay Kitty Stay!
I am so thankful for finding StayKittyStay for our cat, Wasabi. We just adopted him last year and had our first vacation coming up. I was nervous about finding the right accommodation for him. SKS was perfect and so welcoming to me and him! My kids felt great that Wasabi would be loved and cared for while we were away. I will be using SKS for all our next vacations!

Another successful stay at Stay Kitty Stay. Kate is fantastic. She is patient and kind and this time my cat Sadie actually let her touch her. I believe this was my cats fourth time staying there and she thoroughly enjoys her patio and I enjoy getting pictures knowing that my for baby is well taken care of. Highly recommend using Kate and will be back in three weeks.

100% recommendation
Our family is beyond grateful for Stay Kitty Stay. Because of Kate and her team, we are able to go on trips with out the guilt or concern of how are three little loves will do without us. We have two older cats (both 17yo) and one adult cat. Our older cats have medical needs and one of the two is aggressive in new environments. I initially had concerns about leaving them, but Kate was incredibly reassuring and let me know they would be in the best of hands. Rest assured, when we came back everyone looked as though they didn't want to leave! We also received photo updates each day we were gone, which made us feel great about our decision. I would recommend Stay Kitty Stay without any reservation and am so thankful that there are people like Kate who care so much about the kitties!

Wonderful help during an emergency!
My cat and I were visiting friends in the area. Unfortunately, I had a silly accident and broke my hip, placing me in the hospital and rehab for a couple weeks. My friends were leaving for vacation so my cat Hobie needed a place to stay.
Stay Kitty Stay was recommended by other friends. SKS was extremely easy to deal with and very helpful, bending over backwards to make Hobie comfortable and communicating with me to keep me updated. They also sent me photos and videos.

We love Kate and Stay Kitty Stay
The owner is very patient, kind, knowledgeable and genuinely loves cats. She offers personalized care for our little boy, who is very shy and scared of new people. He warmed up to her after a few days and was bunting and being friendly. I love her facility. My cat is 16lbs and has 2 levels of space. The suite he stays in offers a personal small catio so my indoor cat can enjoy the outdoors. He loves it! Many other boarding facilities only have glass doors or what looks like a converted closet. With Kate, he gets the best combination of outside stimulation and indoor comfort. Kate also sends pictures and videos, so I know he is happy and doing well and being himself. I would highly recommend.

Stay Kitty Stay is beyond amazing
OMG Kate is beyond amazing. Not only is she an angel to all of these kitties but she is a super warm and wonderful person to talk to and deal with. She understands how these babies are a part of our life and our hearts, and how hard it is for us to leave them when we go away. Her accommodations and skills are highly impressive. I would highly, highly recommend her if you need to leave your kitty while you go away.

Wonderful experience…
I'm so happy to have found Stay Kitty Stay for my two bengals. I'm happy to bring them and know they will be so well cared for. They have stayed multiple times now and it was great to see that as soon as they left their carriers they each headed for their favorite spots, one directly to the catio and the other to a high perch from which to "rule the roost". We choose the a space where they can enjoy the catios in the warmer months. I send their food with them and they are able to have what they are used to. I know they have time to play outside the confines of their room and within their room there is definitely plenty of space to move around during their stay, which is far better than the cage space at the vets office or PetSmart. Also, I get photos that let me know how they are doing. Most important of all they come home happy. This allows me to enjoy my time away, whether it's a weekend or a week. We highly recommend Stay Kitty Stay!

Stay Kitty Stay is Excellent
Stay Kitty Stay is a clean, welcoming, and safe place to board your cat. Kate is so caring and knowledgeable. We’ve had to board our cat for a few weeks at two different times and I’m secure in knowing he is well taken care of.

I was very happy with the care and attention that my cats received at Stay Kitty Stay. Their specific dietary needs were taken care of and both Oscar and Felix received daily playtime. In addition, I received updates including pictures of my boys.
I will definitely use Stay Kitty Stay again!
