Luxury Suites

The Cat’s Meow features unique Cage-Free Suites that envelope your cat in luxury, bathe your cat in warmth from our sun-filled windows, and amuse with the sights and sounds of the forest. Our two cat cottages are built on 40 acres of land overlooking forest, marshland and green meadows. In the warmer months, we offer private indoor/outdoor living as each space comes with a fully enclosed, private cedar deck. Your cat’s holiday includes the thrill of seeing wild birds and hearing the sounds of crickets, peeper frogs, and the wind in the trees…

In the winter months our cozy fireplaces keep the kitties nice and warm. When it is time to go to bed we tuck our cats in with a nice bedtime treat – another great day at The Cat’s Meow!

Boutique Cat Grooming Salon

While your cats are staying with us why not treat them to a warm massage shampoo bath? Check out our grooming page. We also offer nail caps, de-shedding treatments, and lion cuts when appropriate.

We Give Personalized Attention

One of the things that makes a significant difference for our regular clientele is that we get to know your cats and they get to know us! At The Cat’s Meow Inn, we love the work that we do and many clients come to think of us as extended family– some even calling us their kitties’ auntie and uncle! Working directly with your cats daily we get to know their personalities– whether they prefer tummy rubs or chin scratches, batting a ball or hide-and seek. When you call to get an update on your cat’s progress you talk with the owners directly. That’s refreshing.

No Dogs

We are a cats-only facility which means that the kitties enjoy peace and tranquility while they are here. Our clients return again and again because of the quality care we provide. We understand that your cats aren’t just pets but family members. That is just one of the reasons that people travel from as far as Toronto and Montreal, because they know their cats receive the very best in accommodation and service here at The Cat’s Meow.

Genuinely cannot recommend this place enough. Cassandra and David were incredible and took my 8 month old kitten on very short notice when I had to go out of town. I was so nervous to board him as I had never done it before but they took such good care of him and posted updates on Facebook so I could see how he was doing. They put him near the window so he could see outside and he was so cuddly when I picked him up. I will absolutely be bringing him back here next time I need leave home! Thank you guys so much!

Our dear Bella cat stayed at the Cat’s Meow twice in July, both times with very short notice.   Even though they were completely booked, Cassandra and David made special arrangements to board Bella so that we could focus on a family emergency out-of-town.  Knowing that Bella had such good care made a very difficult time easier.  The premises are very cat friendly, neat and well organized.  Cassandra and David, I can’t thank you enough for your compassion and understanding and taking such good care of Bella!

I have boarded my cats here exclusively for 4 years. They receive wonderful care. I also have their nails trimmed and full grooming - fabulous care and results.

We have boarded our 4 kitties at The Cat's Meow a few times now, and highly recommend this Inn for anyone looking to board their own fur babies. The owners are very welcoming and friendly, and you can tell that they genuinely enjoy animals and what they do. Everything is always kept neat and organized. It is a very lovely and clean building in a beautiful area. The cats are very well tended to, and they have plenty of space to roam around and explore, as well as an outdoor catio to enjoy. We are so fortunate to have this little gem so close to where we live as it allows us to have peace of mind while we're away, knowing that our cats are being so well taken care of and treated as one of their own.

We were delighted and impressed with the exceptional quality  and high standards of the  boarding facility and grooming services we experienced at the Cat's Meow!  Cassandra and her team obviously care about their pet clients and it shows in the services they provide. We visited several other boarding operations in the region and none compared to the Cat's Meow! Highly recommended by us and Benny our one year old Himalayan.

Thank you so much to the Cat's Meow Inn for taking care of our cat while we were away on vacation. It was nice knowing he was in the hands of people who truly care about our feline friends. We also enjoyed the pictures/updates on Facebook. When we dropped him off, he settled in right away. We loved the cat TV they had (aka the bird feeders) for when they could go in their outside enclosure and bird watch. The facility was nice and clean and the fireplace made it nice and cozy for the cats. Thank you to Cassandra and Dave for taking care of Neko!

We have used their service twice and each time have felt very comfortable leaving our cats there.     They pay much attention to detail.   Thank you.

They were AWESOME!!! We had to leave our two kittens (they were 11 months old) for 2 months!!!! We were moving from Ottawa to Victoria and in between we had to leave the country. We were so worried but we had to! When I saw Cat’s meow inn’s place, I fell in love with it. But still.. leaving your two fur babies? For two months? They’re not going to forgive us :( Long story short.. it turns out they had great time, they weren’t even a bit angry with us, they didn’t give us the silent treatment (or any kind of bad reaction), they were just happy to see us (I had 2 cats before these ones and a dog and I had to leave them from time to time, you can feel when they were happy or sad. These ones.. it was as if they had the greatest time of all, their own vacation and they were perfectly healthy and fantastically taken care of. Cassandra and Dave putting their pictures on their facebook page often was another great touch. I don’t want to ever leave them but in case I will have too, I would fly all the way from Victoria to Ottawa for them to stay in this beautiful place with these beautiful people. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🙏🙏🙏.
