- LKLivy Knows6 days ago5.0i was so nervous to leave my babies alone for a 3 day 2 night trip. but did my research & found meowhaus. SUPER accommodating & friendly staff. the atmosphere is very peaceful & shy kitty friendly. i 100% recommend the library room for 2 kitties or a very chill environment kitty.
- APAbby PolzinDec 30, 20255.0Meowhaus is the best!! They took excellent care of my cat while I was away and they were very prompt with text responses to any questions or concerns I had. Updates were sent as requested via text. They were so detailed in the updates and included many pictures and even videos! They don’t just keep the cats in their rooms, they let them out to explore the whole facility and to play. My Nova absolutely LOVED her time with Meowhaus and especially with Wendy. We will definitely be using Meowhaus again in the future. Highly recommend!!
- SMSylvia MorseDec 24, 20255.0Bosco the kitty was very well cared for during his stay at Meowhaus. I received photos and updates about how he was faring. I would definitely recommend Meowhaus.
- DVDiana VPDec 16, 20255.0After visiting this facility and talking with Shannon, we decided it was a good fit for our foster cats (of 3 months). We boarded them for ten days in Nov 2025, and we chose to have an update texted three times during the stay. The photos and journal of their antics were greatly appreciated, not to mention the free nail trims for first-time boarders. We were able to enjoy our vacation without any worries about our cats. All the staff were just lovely and we will definitely be repeat customers. :)
- VVVeronica VazquezDec 5, 20255.0Even though I used to live less than a block away, I only recently had the opportunity to use Meowhaus for our 2 kitties. They were wonderful from the beginning and helped our cats feel right at home. The fact they won over our extremely anxious and introverted male cat in just a day or so speaks volumes. While his sister is quite social and comfortable, he ALWAYS hides from visitors and has never let anyone except immediate family touch him. Not even when extended family members visited for 3+ months! It was shocking in the best of ways to receive photos of him allowing chin scratches and leaning into the love from them. We already booked 2 more stays with them and are so thankful for their staff and utmost professionalism.
Frequently Asked Questions About Meowhaus 1 Feline Boarding & Day Spa
What do I bring?
We provide essential items such as a memory foam bed, litter box with litter, and food and water dishes. Please bring your cat's food, vaccination records, completed meowhaus paperwork, any necessary medications, and flea treatment. You're welcome to bring additional comfort items like bedding, blankets, or toys (avoiding those with strings or rubber bands). If you forget anything, we have various comfort items available.
What do you do in an emergency?
In case of a medical emergency, we'll immediately contact you or your designated emergency contacts. We'll arrange transportation to the nearest veterinary clinic for urgent care. Please note that all emergency care expenses are the responsibility of the cat owner.
What vaccinations are required?
We require FVRCP and rabies vaccinations. For cats unable to receive vaccinations due to health reasons, we accept a veterinary exemption letter.
What are the suites like?
Our 44 suites across two locations are approximately 216 cubic feet each. Standard and special needs suites are similarly sized, typically 4 feet wide, 6 feet long, and 9 feet tall. Most suites feature a skybox balcony, a large window overlooking the aviary, a full glass door, scratching carpet, and multiple levels. Special needs suites omit the skybox for safety reasons. The garden room is unique, offering an outside view instead of an aviary connection.
I'd like my kitty to stay just for the day. What do I do?
Day boarding is available for $40 per cat. Drop off your cat during our morning hours and pick up during afternoon hours. To book, visit our reservation page and select the same date for arrival and departure. Please disregard any additional fee notes; the cost is a flat $40.
My cat is indoors-only and never had fleas. Do I still need flea protection?
Yes, flea protection is required for all cats. While your cat may not have fleas, we occasionally receive cats with active infestations. We treat these cases immediately, but there's still a risk of flea transfer. We offer Advantage for $20 per dose if needed, which provides 30 days of protection.
Do kitties get individual attention?
Absolutely. Our staff regularly visits each suite to provide affection, including hugs, kisses, petting, and brushing. We employ dedicated kitty cuddlers for two-hour shifts of exclusive attention. Cats can also explore the shop individually, with some preferring to wander while others enjoy helping with office tasks. We prioritize safety, ensuring all cats are secure before opening the front door.
Can I come by for a tour?
Yes, we offer tours by appointment. To maintain a calm environment, we schedule tours between 10am-11:30am and 2pm-4:00pm, Tuesday through Saturday. We don't offer tours on Mondays due to high check-out activity.
My cat requires medication. Do you do that?
Yes, we administer various medications. Pills, liquids, and ointments are $10 per day, subcutaneous fluids are $20 per day, while insulin injections, glucose monitoring, and bladder expressions are $25 per day. Our staff includes a veterinary technician. Medicated cats receive treatment first thing in the morning and last thing at night, approximately 9 hours apart. Please contact us if you have any questions or consult your vet if you have concerns about the schedule.
Do I bring my own food?
We ask that you provide your cat's regular food, bringing more than enough for the duration of their stay. We have refrigeration and heating facilities for various food types. Treats are also welcome. In case you forget food, we offer a selection of wet and dry options for $5 per meal (price may vary by type and circumstance)
