What Clients Say About Cat's Paradise

"I consider Cat's Paradise a special home about away from home for our Princess, Maggie, Charlie and Poppy. I especially like the fact that they can go directly from their room to an outdoor space at their leisure to watch birds and enjoy some fresh air. The rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed with comfortable sleeping places and things of interest. The kitty play park is a fun place to explore with lots of climbing and scratching places on real tree trunks and hammock for relaxing after playtime. It's a place designed for cats by dedicated cat lovers."

From Betty - loving owner of Princess, Maggie, Charlie and Poppy

"Hugo is a big out-doors cat, loves the fact that he has the choice to be inside or out between the fresh air and the warmth of home. He loves that he gets pampered, gets cat-nip, and has a large out-doors and in-doors area to play in. Hugo shows his happiness with the fact that he's often upset to leave - he makes friends at Cats' Paradise, and is always quiet and happy when he knows he is going there."

Salam - loving owner of Hugo

"Our cat Noonie has stayed at Cat's Paradise 5 times and every time we collect her she doesn't want to leave! The cat's living space is large and the cat play park is amazing! Noonie loves it! We like the fact that she can go outside but she is still is her enclosure so we know she's safe. We love the fact that Hana has cats of her own and is clearly a cat lover, (I would only entrust my cat to another cat-lover!) at this cat hotel we know that Noonie is getting attention and service of a higher level than any other cat boarding in the area. Thank you Hana for taking good care of her!"

Laura and John - loving owners of Noonie

"Pascal, our high-maintenance cat, is a regular at Cat's Paradise. Since 2006, he has stayed with Hana a few times every year. Cats are provided stimulation and attention during their stay. He seems to really enjoy that he can go outside in his own personal space and is also able to mingle with other cats in the separate kitty play area. I highly recommend Cat's Spa to anyone."

Cameron and Jo Anne - loving owners of Pascal

"My cat, Clint, has stayed at the Cats Paradise four or five times. It is great being able to travel and not have to worry about Clint. He always get the best care and has opportunities to play outside and meet other cats. The last time he even had a girlfriend!"

Gavin, loving owners of Clinton

"We love to travel but hate leaving our fur baby behind. In past years we did trial and error with a number of facilities in Ontario and then we found Cat's Paradise and the loving care of Hana and her staff. Never again have we worried while being away. Leaving our kitty at Cat's Paradise gives us such peace of mind. When we pick him up after a stay he is happy, relaxed and content. Every time we go there it is evident that they are all animal lovers who are caring and genuine about providing love and attention to each feline. With the tranquil country setting, individual theme rooms and the kitty play park not only is our kitty being well cared for but he gets a fun time away that he enjoys. We have no doubt that he receives the best care possible in our absence and we want to thank you for a fantastic service."

Christne - loving owner of Chen-ga

Theme Rooms

While you go off on your adventure, let your little tigers roam free in the jungle for an adventure of their own!

Each cat has their choice of rooms. Whether they prefer the unique experience of the jungle room, the Sahara desert room, the rain forest room, arctic tundra room etc. Each cat selects a decor to suit their personality.

Some cats enjoy the desert room because of all the stones and hiding places with trees that look dead or fallen. This is especially good for cats that like to hide and are shy. This way, they can go into the room and find a comfy hiding spot. The forest has trees with fake plants wrapped around them and plenty of perches for the playful kitty.

What about a Metro-Kitty? But of course! City-slicking-kitties can take advantage of the upscale, metropolitan room. They can lounge on their very own lazy-lounger.

For more information on the theme rooms, please visit our Theme Rooms page.

Vision and Mission Statement

Our mission at Cats Paradise is to provide the highest quality care, products and services for the discerning cat owner. We strive to meet all mental, physical, and social needs for our four-legged customers. Our long-term goal is to become the premier choice for the Ottawa-area cat owners. Cats Paradise offers a variety of natural pet foods as an alternative to the lower quality commercial brands found at other kennels. This is because, we want our felines to live longer, healthier lives. The products we carry include nutritional supplements, holistic products, animal theme books, magazines, animal plush toys, local treats, designer collars, cleaning products for the home and more.

NO Dogs Boarded!

Part of what makes Cats Paradise a unique boarding experience includes the fact that absolutely no dogs are allowed to board here. Cats can feel safe knowing that they are in a unique boarding facility geared towards felines-only. Anyone who owns a cat knows that the ideal setting for a cat to be boarded is one without dogs housed in the same building. Many cats are not accustomed to dogs and find it stressful to be boarded in a place surrounded by barking dogs and unfamiliar dog scents.

The other unique feature are the individual cat turnouts. This is a feature that is not available at the traditional kennel or clinic. My own cats have a similar turnout at home. This consists of a wood structure with cedar playpens so that the cats can climb and perch where they want. It is also beneficial for outdoor cats, as it allows them to enjoy the outdoors in a safe environment. All of the structures are built on interlocking stones.

Last, but not least, we provide high-end quality natural foods. Even though these foods cost more then your grocery store brands, they are free of animal by-products, chemical preservatives and harsh additives. If your cat has its own food then you can bring it along. The litters we use are natural, biodegradable and free of silica.

Often, we give back to the community by fostering cats for the country cat rescue and featuring them on our website.

Quality of Care/Exceptional Facilities: At Cat's Paradise Spa and Boarding Retreat, you receive the kind of quality and service you expect from a top-notch hotel. We baby our feline guests and make sure they enjoy their stay and look forward to returning. You can rest assured that your kitty will enjoy their vacation as much as you would. Each day each cat is allowed to roam about the spa for an exercise session. They might roam free, or enjoy a nice brushing or play with some toys. Each day, the litter, water , food and room are cleaned. We provide bowls, cat posts and other furniture; however, you are encouraged to bring a favorite something for your feline friend to make them feel even more "at home".

For owners we always send an update and a few photos to the email address they provide us with on their consent form. We have just a few of those photos on our Album page.
