Luxury Inn for Cats

Cats Meow Kudos

chatelaine cover Chatelaine Magazine gives The Cats Meow two thumbs up!!
Chatelaine has just published its 2002 Web Guide featuring the top 300 web sites. The Cats Meow is the Web Guides featured site for pet boarding. They write:

Problem Solved:

When Heather Rayner and her husband, Jon, were organizing their travel plans last summer, finding a home away from home for their two cats was at the top of the list. She punched "cat kennel + Ottawa" into her search engine and located www.catsmeowinn.com, a posh kennel for favoured felines. "After checking it out online, reading the reviews and seeing the picture of where the cats would stay, we were convinced it was the best option for us, at the most reasonable price," says Rayner. "We loved it."

The following are just a few of the many notes of appreciation that we have received:

I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how much I enjoyed your website. As the owner of 4 cats I couldn't resist reading what you offered, despite the fact that we live in BC and obviously wouldn't be taking our cats to Ontario for boarding any time soon! Your Inn for cats sets a shining example that others in this line of business should aspire to, and your website shows it off beautifully. Kudos to you for a job well done and continued success with your chosen field.
Sincerely,
Gaile E

Now I can relax and know that my cats are having a better vacation than I am. It's the very best.

It's the best vacation we've ever had, and we'll keep coming back.

We had a wonderful time in Florida, but from what we see, Gypsy and Izabella had an even better time at The Cat's Meow.
Thanks,
Elizabeth and Claude

I just wanted to say again how great I think the Cat's Meow is! The care and attention you give to each cat is first rate. I think Hannah get better treatment with you than I've received in some hotels. Hannah was just there a few weeks ago for a week stay and she has told me in her purring way how much fun she had with you. You do an amazing job and it's not hard to tell how much you both love cats. Thanks again and Hannah and I will see you again next summer.

Thank you Doug and Mary for taking such excellent care of Cookie Bit and Tiny. It is very evident you love what you do and care for every cat that passes through your place.
Cookie Bit and Tiny took only a couple of hours to adjust to the new house and all of us again. Much quicker than I thought they would. I am sure your kindness to our cats contributed to this. Thanks again for everything.

Dear Doug and Mary,
Thank you for taking such good care of us during our stay. The Cat's Meow was just great, and provided the purrfect place to relax in while our humans were away. So thank you again for all the TLC we received while in your care.

Thank you so much for writing back so promptly. I had a look at the other cattery you suggested and have to say I would rather drive 3 hours to yours!

Thank you for caring for Earnest and Annibelle while I was away. It was truly a vacation for the two of them. You have a passion for what you do.
Thanks.

Dear Doug and Mary,
(I'm the one that called you during the summer because I had no place for my babies and was leaving for 3 weeks. I had to put them in a place where they had no room to stretch, and were allowed out just for 2 minutes while they cleaned their cage... It was just awful. I cried so much! Next time I know to call you a long time ahead!!).

I am speechless! It looks even nicer than on the web!!!
It is so beautiful and relaxed and my cats felt at home right away.
Dukie and Chatou will be better than just fine. They'll love it!
Thank you so much Doug and Mary.

Thank you very much for your supportive response during this stressful period. We will not forget this and will also let others we know of your understanding business approach. We are glad to hear you have been able to fill Jack's "room" and will not hesitate to call upon, or recommend, your services in the future. Our kindest regards.
Thank you
Maurice and Mary V

We are glad Harley was such a good boarder -- it means we could easily leave him again -- he is a lovely boy -- I am sure he thought he was in heaven with his beautiful surroundings. It's obvious you are real cat lovers and it is such a pleasure to know he was so well taken care of and enjoyed. When I dropped him off and he went straight out that little cat door into the sunshine and onto that green grass, it was like he stepped through a door to a little patch of paradise -- I could tell he was going to make himself right at home. Thanks so much for all.
Sincerely,
Su & John


Doug,
Thank you so much for looking after Fellini and Jasmine. This is a wonderful place for cats. You clearly take so much care and put so much love into all you do. The careful and sensitive design of your two buildings, and your caring attitude make it a pleasure to come here. I have absolute confidence in you to look after my cats.

It was touch and go as to whether we'd move into the room with Ned. What a wonderful place! Hurrah!
Michael and Marcella

Why is it that our Pooki, Max and Spunky are more eager to come to The Cat's Meow than they are to come home? Thank you Doug and Mary
Lana and John

Thanks so much for having our precious Tinker. Not only was he cared for exceptionally well, but you helped make our vacation fun knowing Tinker was safe. You're both wonderful people. See you again.

I just wanted to write a short email to thank you and your family and staff for the excellent care that Peaches and Brandi received at the Cat's Meow Inn. Your place is fabulous. Thank you very much.
M. B. and Peaches and Brandi

The nicest place we've ever been to for boarding. Midnight and Pepper always have a great time.
Kelly and Cheryl

This retreat is so welcoming that our little Leia girl doesn't want to come home with us.
Thanks for the excellent care.
Julie and Darren

Email Note: Dear Mr. & Mrs. Forde-
I stumbled across your web site while researching information on cat boarding facilities. You have the most beautiful facility I have ever seen in my life!! I wish I were a cat. Thank you for your web site and sharing your beautiful place with the world!!

We have discovered this most wonderful place putting us as much at ease as Ifafa. Our travels will be now stress free knowing Ifafa is in such a loving place.
Debra and Roeland

Thank you very much for taking care of our "furry boy", Buzz! I'm sure he has had a super time. He looks terrific, we'll be back!
Steve, Denise, Andy and Alex

What a wonderful home away from home for our darlings. Doug and Mary, you are truly a God send for us.

Doug and Mary,
Many thanks to the people who have the cat spa to end all cat spas!!
