Most of us are familiar with “kenneling” or “boarding” our dogs when we go on vacation. Having access to a safe environment for our pets when they can’t be with us for a few days is one less worry. I was excited to see recently that a similar opportunity now exists for cats in my hometown in Colorado.
The Evergreen Cat Lodge recently opened for business, offering 32 – count ‘em – rooms for rent. Felines only please! I’ve not been by to visit, but apparently the rooms vary in size and decor according to economy , deluxe, and VIP pricing. Litter boxes are cleaned daily, photos are emailed to the guardians when possible, and special requests are generally accommodated.
True, cats and dogs are very different in their sociability. Some cats are much better off staying a few days without their humans at home with a caretaker checking in. But for those kitties who are of an adventurous spirit and would enjoy a little time away from the homestead when their family goes on vacation, check around your city and you just may find a “kitty kennel” that meets your needs.

Hey Alyson & Kelly – Thanks for the great comments on our facility. My husband, Mike and I run the facility and love to show it off every chance we get. We are by appointment, mainly to accommodate our client’s hectic schedules, but do call for a tour. Also, the website is full of wonderful information, including pictures. Susan

What a great idea, Kelly! Do they let people just visit and check them out? Dharma would probably do great there. She’s such a social butterfly. Thanks for sharing this.
