Kitty City

I have used Kitty City for my two cats a half-​dozen times over the past two years. I highly recommend this cat-​only boarding facility. As mentioned in the previous review, this is a home-​based business in a rural area. The husband/​wife owners operate the business professionally, but with a comfortable, casual feeling. The modified garage houses the cats in separate kennels. They offer two sizes of kennels which appear to be about 3×3×8 or 3×3×4. In each is a litter box and a perch (or two in the larger units). A small number (1 – 3?) of the units has a window. If you have two cats to board together, you can request one of the large units.
We go into the facility for a period each time we drop-​off. It NEVER smells like cat urine or feces or cleaning chemicals. I know they must be cleaning out the litter boxes constantly for that to be the case. In my observation, they use Tidy Cat, but you are welcome to bring your own litter. They are great about keeping track of all the specific needs of each individual cat (food, medicine, etc). I have never seen a distressed cat when I pick-​up or drop-​off, they all seem super content just hanging out. The owners have told me that they do offer the cats individual opportunities to come out of the kennels for some play time (inside only, they never go outside). The owners keep an upholstered armchair in the boarding facility to sit with the cats if they want to snuggle, and they have a few cat trees around for when a cat is out of his/​her kennel.
They are very flexible with drop-​off and pick-​up times (late, early) since they live there — EXCEPT there are no drop-​offs or pick-​ups on Saturday (they observe the Sabbath that day).
When I drop off my cats I sometimes have both my young kids with me. The owners are very accommodating about how long it takes us to drop off. We place our cats’ carrier inside their kennel unit and hang out with them for awhile while they sniff around and get comfortable. My kids have to give dozens of goodbye hugs and pets and the owners just stay busy and let us do our thing. They never rush us or make us feel that any of our overprotective questions or concerns are tedious.
As for my cats, they seem to like it. They never resist when we drop the off. They come out of their carrier without any signs of fright. When we pick them up we often have to lure them down from their perch because they seem so content they don’t want to get up.

My parents use this place for their cat when they go out of town and recommended it to me. Kitty City is located in Fall City and operates out of the owner’s home garage specially outfitted for the animals. They’ve modified their garage to provide additional lighting and heating. The windows overlook a yard full of birds and trees. Soft music plays which may not matter to the cats but it is at least soothing to the owners leaving behind their pampered pets. The owners are clearly «cat people» and seem perfectly comfortable and capable interacting with the cats. One note, they are 7^th Day Adventists so they are closed for business on Saturday. The cats get fed and treated as usual, but no check in/​outs take place on that day.
