In the past, I have come home to find my cats completely shell shocked and upset (did I mention they also vomit a lot when they are upset?). Diane has such a gentle touch that they are completely fine when I get home and my house looks exactly as I left it. I split my time between Denver and Seattle and I have been traveling twice a month, sometimes for 10 days at a time. I would not have been able to do that without Diane. She has accommodated last minute schedule changes and holiday weekends without complaint. Despite my cats hiding under the bed and tracking litter all over the living room, she really seems to like them. She has really been a life saver and it is so nice to be able to travel knowing my high maintenance pets are in good hands.

All My Kitties is the best cat boarding place in Seattle. I think they have a wonderful set-up for…read morethe cats and the staff are always amazing. I've used their services 5 times now and I could not be happier with my experience. I would highly recommend using them if you live in the area. First of all, I think they have a great facility for the cats. The cats are given their own "kitty condo" (although this may or may not be shared with another guest during the peak holiday seasons). These condos are large and from what I can tell, all are multi-leveled. The condos have bedding and litter boxes and some space for the cats to move around. Cats are generally confined to condos on their first day/night just to make sure they adjust to the new space. After that, cats are allowed to free roam the facility during the working hours (8-6) as long as they are well behaved. There are tons of cat towers, beds, scratching posts, and toys for the cats to use during the day. The floors inside are heated so even during the cold winter cats will be extremely comfortable. They also have a vary large "catio" which is a fully enclosed area built out into the backyard garden. They have a cat door so cats can freely roam between the inside and this outside area. The space is entirely caged in so no one can escape, but it allows cats to lounge in the fresh air and sun. There seem to be 1-2 staff members which help out with the cats during business hours. They feed the cats twice a day and clean up all the litter boxes. I believe they also spend some time playing and petting the kitties. The girls I've met (Alison and Angela) have both been really fantastic. They are very sweet, helpful and always give us little stories about our cat when we pick her up. They also update a "kitty blog" every other day with photos of all the cats staying with them. I really reading these updates and very much look forward to them. They give lots of personality to these updates and they are such a joy to read. Parking and Entrance: All My Kitties is located on the bottom floor of the owner's (Marie) house. To find the entrance, you need to follow the signs and lights heading down the driveway, past the double gates, and into the garden. You can ring the "catio" doorbell or call the number posted and one of the gals inside will come to let you in. Don't enter on your own so that you don't accidentally let any cats lose! You can park in the driveway itself easily or on the street.

I first became acquainted with Jackpot during a last minute panic travel situation. I needed care for my elderly cat including meds and fluids twice a day and my regular cat sitter had an emergency. Within an hour Mahriah had responded and settled my nerves with a comprehensive care plan. She even followed up daily with text updates and pictures. When my 20 year old cat died last summer. Mahriah sent a card with pictures of my girl. WAY above and beyond service!!! We now have two kittens and only use Jackpot. If you want to relax knowing your pets are getting love and attention with comprehensive care choose jackpot! Recommended by my vet also.

We have never left him with strangers before, but knew that he would be happier if he got to stay in our home. Paola and Jenna visited our house several days before our trip and met the dog. He seemed comfortable with them immediately. Plus I gave them a rundown about his needs and about how to use our house. When we left for the weekend, they assured us they had everything in hand to make Spud (our dog) comfortable. They definitely did. We even received occasional pictures of Spud and updates. When we arrived home, he looked so relaxed and well-tended. The house looked great too! I almost hesitate posting this review because we want to keep Seattle Sidekicks for ourselves. It's so lovely to know we can leave for awhile and our dog and house have two animal-loving, responsible and respectful women tending to things. Couldn't be happier!

I also really appreciate that they have you help during the process, which builds confidence and gives you skills you can use between visits. I've been having Beth come by 2-3 times a year since my long-haired baby boy was a kitten for baths and trims. He still doesn't love baths (because, cat), but he's noticeably calmer now and doesn't try to escape the sink like he used to. It honestly feels like he knows he's in good hands. Every time, he's incredibly soft and clean afterward, and the shedding dies down for a while too - a huge win. Thoughtful, patient, and clearly very good at what they do. Thank you Beth!

We got lucky and found a parking spot up front (kind of a tight spot), but if you're not as lucky, street parking is available. When we first walked in, what we noticed most was that it was quiet and peaceful. Our cat who is a nervous kitty out of the house seemed calm and just took in her surroundings. We sat in the waiting area with the clinic cat who was so open to belly rubs :) The exam room was small, but has a bench for sitting that can only fit 1-2 people comfortably. Our kitty immediately took to hiding, but the staff were very gentle with scooping her out from under for the exam. She received two vaccines and Dr. Aimee was quick and our cat seemed very comfortable hanging out in her lap during the exam.

We hope this post will inspire any locals or visitors to consider visits and donations of time or anything to support these cats into real loving kind giving supportive new family homes.

Thanks so much to the people at PAWS who so wonderful and answered any questions I had about the kitties, including sharing medical history, diet, and all first time kitty owner questions. :) PAWS Cat City Adoption Center: The adoption center is located across from a day care or school in University District. When I walked in, it smelled clean and the meet and greet rooms were really clean as well! All of the kitties were just chillin in the rooms. Process: I found PAWS Cat City on Google maps when I searched cat adoption near me. I went to their website and kept checking for new kitties. When I saw a few that I wanted to meet, I just showed up the next day at opening (on a Thursday), let the adoption specialists know which kitties I was interested in meeting, filled out a form, and went straight into the meet and greet rooms. I spent about 20-30mins in the room observing and petting the kitties. While I was in the room, the adoption specialists came to check in every 10 mins and I was able to ask lots of questions. After I decided to take Tako home, I sat down with one of the adoption specialists and went through their packet. Someone also helped put Tako in the soft carrier that I brought. I ordered mine on Amazon, and since it's a soft one, it arrived folded up and didn't take up much space. I think they also have one-time use carrier or used hard carriers for purchase. I'd highly recommend PAWS Cat City for cat adoptions! I've seen some mixed reviews on how busy it gets on weekends, so I'd recommend stopping by during a weekday.
