Kitty Poppins
CAT NANNY
Behavior + Training Consultation
The Purr Palace is a unique boutique boarding accomodation right in my home environment. It is a great option for those who want a quiet home away from home for their kitty companion when they can’t stay home. Even during holidays and other busy times, only a small number of guests are hosted to limit the stress and provide an option for more reserved purrsonalites. Cats who are of even temperament and tolerant of other cats can find solace in this boutique home-based “kitty hotel”. First time boarders and long stays are welcomed! Cats who are healthy and contagious disease free, from ages 6 months to 16 years, are eligible for boarding.
Personal enclosed "condos" are provided for the safety and comfort of all the guests as newly arriving guests settle in, but plenty of free roaming time is offered. Cats may choose to socialize amongst each other or maintain their space; their needs will be closely assessed though out their stay. The Purr Palace maintains a high standard of cleanliness at all times by following all disinfecting guidelines provided by the health department. Limiting the amount of guests staying at one time achieves this and a low stress environment. Personal heating pads are used in the colder season and Feliway brand pheromone diffusers made for multi-cat households, to further increase the feel-good vibes. Guests can also enjoy beautiful and stimulating garden views from the catio, year-round, with lots of active critters and lush greenery.
Multiple doors and gates keep the Purr Palace room safe from doors to the outside and other resident cats. All of my personal cats in the home are treated for fleas monthly, fully vaccinated and free of all contagious diseases. Guests will have nightly supervision just one room away as well as 24hr camera security.
While you are welcome to visit and check out the accommodations for your special feline friend, The Purr Palace cat room is located in my private home, in a residential neighborhood. To ensure the privacy and safety of all boarding kitties, caretakers, and neighbors, visits are limited to drop-offs and pick-ups—and serious prospective clients—by appointment only. Your understanding is appreciated!

While Kitty Poppins believes all kitties deserve high quality care and would love to be able to offer it to all, not all cats will do well in a communal boarding situation.
