Plenty of climbing opportunities and a variety of scratch posts are provided. Owners provide food and litter and are encouraged to bring along of their cats favorite beds or toys.

"Buddy had a great month. Picked him up happy and healthy (I don't think he wanted to leave his new cat heaven though). Thanks so much and he'll definitely be back when we need a sitter again!!"

"Michael and I want to thank you so much for the care you gave to Carmen and Fontella while we were on vacation. When we returned home, the girls were calm and relaxed.

We just want you to know that we are very happy to have found the “Scratching Post”. Not only will Carmen and Fontella be returning guests, but we are also praising your service to our fellow cat lovers!"

- Michael & Maggie

P.S. The photo of Carmen is just lovely!
