The Cat’s Pajamas

Our cat, Cheeto, is a bit neurotic. He pulls out his hair when he gets nervous or upset. When my partner and I planned a month-​long trip last winter, we worried about leaving him behind. But a friend told us about Patty and she immediately put us at ease. It’s clear that Patty knows cats. She is caring and confident. She was meticulous about keeping him on his prescription food and his Prozac ;) Cheeto was happy and healthy when we picked him up. We’ve since taken him back to the Cat’s Pajamas Inn multiple times and he seems to enjoy his little mini-​vacations at Patty’s house. We live 30 minutes away, but, for me, peace of mind is totally worth the drive!

We left Bear, our Maine Coon cat, with Patty for a month while we were traveling abroad. I was nervous to leave her with anybody because I was afraid she wouldn’t have enough space or attention, but with Patty she had plenty of space to move around, time outside of her pen to play everyday and TONS of attention and affection.
While I was very sad to leave Bear, it was immediately clear to me that Patty is a person that loves cats, and genuinely cares about them being happy and comfortable. Bear is a nervous cat and had some trouble adjusting at first, and Patty went above and beyond searching out special litter and trying out different varieties of food to get her to relax and feel at home. I really appreciated that she kept me aware of everything going on, and I came home to a very happy and healthy cat that honestly did not seem to want to leave with us. I will definitely be using her again!

Yes, I will plagiarize and describe The Cat’s Pajama’s Inn as, to use Patty’s own adjective, «Purrfect»! I grin as I read Unilocal reviews of the Cat’s Pajamas Inn since I share the other authors’ favorable impressions. Lily, our Siamese, could sense when she was to be cared for away from home and did not hesitate to express her displeasure. That changed, however, once we happened upon Patty and the Cat’s Pajama’s Inn!
We found the Cat’s Pajama’s Inn quite by accident. Having moved to the Boston region from the Cape, we did not know where to start to look for help. We were willing to return to caretakers on the Cape only to be disappointed by price, distance and a degree of rather obvious neglect. Our good fortune was about to change, when aided by a Google search, we found The Cat’s Pajama’s Inn. The Inn is conveniently located off Route ⁹⁵⁄₁₂₈ in Wakefield. Scheduling a reservation at the Inn was easy and Patty was and continued to be very accommodating.
On our first visit, the delightful Inn Keeper, Patty, greeted us. She quickly escorted us into a suite of condos. The room was impeccable with year round temperature control. In the background, there was (and always continued to be) classical ambient music. Each condo consisted of a spacious homemade split-​level cage with four floors. No cat would suffer from claustrophobia and much less from neglect!
Our Lily returned repeatedly to visit Patty whom she befriended. She, in fact, looked forward to Patty. Lily never expressed displeasure again. Lily had stayed at the Inn for visits as short as a few days to as much as a couple of months. A stay at the Inn was modestly priced. We no longer have Lily, but what good fortune was ours to have stumbled upon this little known gem.
I enthusiastically recommend this Inn for those who love their cats and are concerned for their well being during periods of owner absence. Patty’s love for cats is reflected in every aspect of her care for these cuddly feline creatures.

We were relocating to Boston but could not be in our new place for 2 weeks, and couldn’t have our 3 cats stay in our temporary digs. So all three cats stayed with Patty at the Cat’s Pajamas Inn. I was nervous about it, as I had never boarded my animals. They were incredibly well cared for. I cannot say enough about Patty. She called me every few days to update me on how the cats were doing. She took the time to prepare and understand the temperament of each of our cats, and put them in particular condos because of it, one is particularly shy, so Patty put her to the side away from the others. Patty is just lovely, and my cats were in wonderful shape and seem completely happy and content upon arrival into their new home. I could not be more enthusiastic about referring Patty. She will take wonderful care of your cats.

We too have a diabetic cat and have used the Cat’s Pajamas Inn twice now, and each time have been really happy. The cats have their own space, and are played with individually during the day. Our cat always looks very happy when we pick her up (because she enjoyed her stay, rather than because she’s leaving).
Since we often holiday north of Boston, this is perfect for us to drop our kitty in on the way up…

Because we have an old diabetic cat who needs insulin shots twice a day, it’s hard to leave her when we go on vacation. Spur of the moment weekends are dictated as to whether we can board her or not. The Cat’s Pajamas Inn is a wonderful place. Each cat (it’s only for cat’s — no dogs) has it’s own living space. An area for food, an area for litter, and 2 little areas to play and sleep. Much better than boarding at the vet (we did once, she got fleas and was in a small space). The animals can look out the windows at the birds and they seem quite content. For me, it’s a great deal for $ 20 — the only problem is that it’s about 30 minutes away. It’s a wonderful place though.
