Luxury Inn for Cats

Imagine for a moment the very best place for your cat to stay when you are away. It should be a very special place, with every possible amenity to make your cat relaxed, content and at home. Take a beautiful property with scenic meadows and lots of woodlands. Choose a hillside site overlooking a duck marsh. Add gorgeous facilities with vaulted ceilings, big windows, and fireplaces. Give all the cats their own big individual outside runs.
Now that has to be the " Cat's Meow "

The specialness of our Inn has made it a feature in Cat's Magazine, and both CBC and CJOH TV. But what really brings our clients back is the very obvious love and care we give to the cats, and how relaxed they are when they stay with us. In spring and summer, beautiful gardens bloom and your cat has its own private grassed area to stroll in, and cedar decks to laze about on. In the winter the big windows and the cozy fireplace create a warm, bright ambiance that any cat could spend nine lives in. With a lovely cathedral ceiling, Italian tile floors, no barking dogs, and plenty of love and pampering, it's no wonder cats like it here.


Often the comment we get from clients on seeing "The Cat's Meow" for the first time is, "Forget the cats, I want to stay here." Last year we had a client who was staying at one of Ottawa's best hotels. She laughed as she left, saying "I can't wait to tell my husband that our cat is staying at a nicer place than we are!" Of course knowing that their cat is happy and lovingly cared for, our clients can go on vacation without concern or worry.


Having individual outside runs for the cats is a very special asset. The cats spend more than half their time outside, and they love both the grass and the cedar decks. Our inside space for each cat is about three times what is usually provided at boarding facilities. When you add the outside area, we are providing about ten times the space, at prices about two thirds those of city facilities.

In our first year we found that the majority of our customers would come to see us before they brought their cat. Now we find many of our new clients are booking sight unseen. This may be due to a great deal of word of mouth recommendations, and the many caring details that people notice when they are here. For instance, many people start to take their shoes off when they enter because the floors are so spotless.


Many clients watch with wonder as their cat, who has been with us before, goes into its quarters unescorted. When people return from their trip they are often surprised to see that their cat seems quite content to stay, and often goes back into its room or goes back outside.
It is quite apparent to any observer how content and relaxed our boarders are with us. It's the little touches that mean a lot, like each cat having its own name on its room. Often the entire Forde family comes out to welcome our new guests and make them feel at home. Our two daughters enjoy the cats as much as we do.


With all the service and luxury we offer, the big surprise is our prices. Our standard singles are only $10.99/day including food! Considering the space provided inside and outside is nearly ten times usually offered, we are quite simply a bargain. So you can finally have the BMW for less than the econobox!!

We now have two buildings for you to choose from:
