The Cat's Meow Inn truly is the Four Seasons for your feline loved one(s). I had never boarded my furbaby before and being somewhat of an overprotective mother had always preferred to have Hana stay at home with a trusted friend or family member rather than take her somewhere to be cared for while I traveled. But due to changing circumstances, I had to consider boarding recently. Sifting through the options on Oahu was daunting, but one choice stood out: The Cat's Meow Inn. From the very moment I inquired about boarding to even after my Hana was returned to me at the end of her cat staycation, Heather and Jamie of The Cat's Meow Inn showed me and Hana what superior service is. If you have never boarded your precious feline before and need to, The Cat's Meow Inn is the very best choice you can make! Read on for why. Heather is very thorough and her attention to detail in screening me and my cat was exemplary. Her process assured me that my pet would be entering and staying in only the most safe, clean, healthy, and supportive environment. The Cat's Meow Inn is the ONLY 24/7 cats only boarding operation, which put my mind at ease knowing that someone would be with my animal in the event of an emergency and also that my pet would not be traumatized by the presence of other four-legged species. (Let's face it, cats are the most singularly discerning of domesticated pets. Sometimes, even I wonder why she lets me stick around.) In addition to safety, sterility and round-the-clock security, Heather and Jamie do their utmost to provide a luxurious, spa-like experience for your pet. I received daily photos and text check-ins from Heather (all-included in the daily cost). Hana stayed in a private, spacious and cats-only environment on a memory foam cat bed (no cages!!) with bird and gecko TV, playtime on some really cool cat furniture, and was given lots of loving attention from Heather and Jamie. (I'm a little envious ...) Heather and Jamie also provided free pick-up and drop-off! I think Hana got a better vacation than I did! And all of this comes at the low fee of only $25/day, far below the other boarding facilities in Honolulu who offer less, have several restrictions, and charge a far heftier daily fee. I am now a firm supporter of cat boarding, but will only choose The Cat's Meow Inn. I am so grateful to Heather and Jamie for their amazing accommodations, high standards, and superior customer service and hospitality for Hana. I was really very stressed about how I was going to solve the care issue for my Hana and The Cat's Meow Inn took all of that stress away. If you are considering boarding, do not hesitate to book with them. You and your feline will be glad you did. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! read more

Extortion at its finest. No, Heather, I've never personally spoken to you, but my partner has--for hours. Apparently, you mistake paying clients for an open-mic audience to fill the void of your own social life. The only reason this isn't a zero-star review is because our cats came back completely fine both times, and your husband was actually pleasant. For professionalism, however, you get negative 4.7 billion stars. This goes far beyond the uncomfortably long hostage situations you disguise as "information verification." Back in March, we booked you for a month-long stay in June 2026. It was close to $2,000--not pocket change for us. So imagine our absolute bewilderment when, exactly two weeks before we were set to leave the country for a month, you asked us for a $1,500 loan. What a wild, unprecedented business model: soliciting a Paycheck Protection Program loan directly from your own patrons. We aren't here to keep your business afloat. I actually know exactly what the money was for, but here's a thought: maybe just raise your prices? Though, honestly, I find it hard to believe anyone is going to pay a premium to listen to you babble. After a long discussion, we decided we couldn't fund your personal requests. You assured us it wouldn't be an issue if we declined. That was after two separate phone calls begging for cash, during which you actually offered to "just run our card on file." You know, the emergency credit card you required us to leave with you. The sheer audacity to suggest violating our financial trust like that is staggering. My partner was understandably stressed as our departure grew near, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt because I try to trust people. Then came the barrage of six or seven texts still chasing the money. It was desperate, unhinged behavior. Predictably, exactly seven days before we left the island, you canceled our reservation. Fortunately for us, your behavior was so alarming that my partner had already canceled that credit card and scouted your competitors. One of them took us in last minute. If you want to run a business instead of a predatory text-thon, I suggest looking up the definition of boundaries. read more

Much Mahalo to both Heather and Jaime for taking care of sweet kitten Einstein while both me and my boyfriend could go on our trip to Japan. It was stress free having the complimentary chauffer service pick up and drop-off coordination with Heather and Jaime. They took great care of him and even helped finish his prescribed dosage of eye drops. Heather sent me photos and message updates while we were away, which provided much reassurance for both me and my boyfriend. The dedication and personal service they provided are 5 star quality while researching for boarding options. I highly recommend the Cat's Meow Inn if you need cat boarding for your furbaby. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again, Heather and Jaime, for your outstanding and caring service. Will book with you again for future boarding needs. read more

Great cat boarders. I was really worried about leaving my cats for half the month but Heather and her husband were very good and provided free pick up and drop off and were very flexible on the times. I was wondering if they ever sleep since they were always prompt on the responsiveness on the reply to the text messages. They also updated you on how the cats were doing and also sending cute photos. You cannot beat $25 a day per cat anywhere else. read more

Just got back from vacation and got my fur babies back (3 of them) from Heather and Jamie. These guys are the best! This is my second time with them and they don't disappoint.

I have used this place many times and I am completely satisfied with service and kitty hospitality.

We needed to board our cat Boy-san (his secret identity). His vet and staff suggested the Cat's Meow Inn (CMI). I called and had a very pleasant and informative conversation with Heather, owner of CMI. Immediately, I had a sense of peace of mind that Boy-san would be well taken care of. Heather talked about the correct type of food dish for our cat. And that CMI was a DNA (dogs not allowed) zone (not quite her words). What cat wants to hear barking dogs all day? She said Boy-san would have his own condo; not cooped up in a wire cage 24/7. He would have his own memory foam 4 post bed. Heather even gave me tips on how to administer his monthly topical treatment. It works! No more 50th State Big Time Wrestling with Boy-san at treatment time. We set up a drop off time for Boy-san. Drop offs and pick ups are from 4:00 am to noon. An eight hour window. We dropped off Boy-san at 6:00 am in his carrier along with his food supply and feeding instructions. Uncle Jamie met us curbside and carefully took Boy-san into CMI. So easy! During our time away from Hawaii, Heather sent me daily updates and pics of Boy-san relaxing in his bed or exploring the Keebler Elf Tree. Peace of mind. Before returning to Hawaii, I set up Boy-san's pick up time. Like the drop off this was done curbside. Uncle Jamie handed the carrier and left over food to me. So easy! Heather and Jamie are truly the cat's pajamas (1920s slang for great). They are great!!! Just as the corn flake cereal tiger says. Affirmation of their care came from Boy-san himself. Two days after his return, the carrier was still in the living room. He walked up to it, sniffed around then surprisingly hopped into it. He stayed there for a while (reminiscing?), and then hopped out. Normally, when he sees the carrier being brought into the house he cries and runs away. When the need arises you won't PAWS to give the Cat's Meow Inn a try. Don't worry, you'll get used to the puns. And get a lot of peace of mind. read more

Im so happy to put my trust on Heather when I sent my cat to her place. The whole trip which was more than 20 days out of the country became stress free for me because I knew my cat was being taken good care of. Heather is very detailed, careful with her work, and I can see my cat through the pictures she sent to me. My cat looked healthy, playful, and happy. (My cat did not look healthy and happy like that when I sent her to another place before, in stead, she looked scared, having messy hair and a little sick when I got her back from that place.) So happy that I found Cat's Meow Inn with Heather and now I will be stress free every time I travel in the future. Heather with Cat's Meow Inn just takes Cats only and no dogs around in her place, which is really perfect for cats to relax. The cats here are taken care of 24/7/365, which I think only this place have that service in Hawaii. And I cant believe it's only $25/day, which is very very affordable price compared to other places $45-$200/day. Heather also kept me posted with my cats pictures sent to my phone very often and it's totally free of charge . (the other place charged me $3 for 1 photo) I found that it's been 8 years in business and this price has not changed. So relaxing and luxurious accommodation for my cat with Bird and Gecko Tv, spa music. Im so happy that I found this place and feel so thankful to Heather and her team members. I had a great experience and will keep sending my silly chubby cat to Cat's Meow Inn every time I travel in future. Great service, very affordable price. 24/7 Cat care. read more

My tortie, Bella, had an awesome time in her luxury suite! Heather was absolutely wonderful to work with. She sent me regular updates and pictures throughout Bella's stay. I finally felt comfortable and relieved that my cat was not going through a tremendous amount of stress. Bella had been labeled as "spicy" from her local VCA, so I was worried that she'd be cranky and difficult. However, Heather reported that Bella was a sweetheart and spice-free. Heather is definitely the cat whisperer! I also really appreciate the pick-up and drop-off services - thank you Jamie! I highly recommend the Cat's Meow Inn. Definitely a worry-free experience for me and my cat! read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! From the very beginning, Heather was extremely professional and communicating with her was easy and efficient. We had our kitten stay with Heather for two weeks. Her attention to detail and frequent updates with pictures provided us such peace of mind. We were very impressed with the scheduled pick-up and drop-off because it was so well coordinated! We even got a summary update from Heather about how my kitten did during her stay which showed us that she received personalized care. It's very obvious how much she cares about the kitties :) read more

I'm overdue posting this, but 5 stars to Heather and Jamie for sure! The communication and helpfulness from the start was amazing, and Heather was so patient when guiding me through the steps to get my cat ready for her stay. Heather sent pictures and updates while I was away, and my cat was healthy and happy when I got home and picked her up. Add in their low low prices and boom, five stars! read more

I can't express how great of a service The Cat's Meow Inn provided! The owner Heather and her husband Jaime were beyond amazing and so helpful with getting my cat boarded. Heather even went above and beyond to assist with my vet and was so patient with me while I got everything ready. Not only are they open 24 hours, her rate was cheaper than anywhere else!! A few other places I called would've charged almost double of Heather's rate and my baby would've been stuck in a cage all day with barking dogs nearby. I got pictures and updates regularly and felt so comfortable my entire trip that my kitty was well taken care of!! My cat, Prince, looked so happy in his luxury kitty accommodations. Save yourself some time calling around for accommodations and go straight to The Cat's Meow Inn for your kitty boarding. You will not be disappointed!! read more

I unexpectedly rescued a kitty (Niki) in my car engine a few weeks before going on vacation. As a first time cat owner I searched on line for a safe, secure, healthy, clean, loving and affordable boarding facility. The Cat's Meow Inn sounded like the purrfect place in-fact too good to be true. After talking with Heather I knew she was the loving purr-son I wanted to look after my rescue kitty. I loved the convenience of pick up and drop off which helps when getting ready for a flight. Jaime was right on time and Heather stayed in touch with me until his arrival. Such awesome customer service. As days approached Heather became a dear friend, medical and kitty advisor to this first time kitty owner. I learned a lot more about cats. I was able to have a stress free vacation. Heather & Jaime sent pictures daily and even sent Niki home with a farewell cat scratcher .Cat's Meow Inn is my forever place for Niki when I travel. Mahalo Heather & Jaime for your warm Aloha Spirit. A hui hou! read more

Another successful vacation in the books and my cats also had a wonderful stressless vacation. They love The Cat's Meow Inn in Kailua and absolutely love going to see Heather and Jamie. I know when I am on vacation that my cats are in the right hands and are lovingly taken care of. Heather sends lots of pictures with cute anecdotes and I can see that they are well and happy which makes my vacation ten times better! This is the best place and my cats can't wait til their next vacation! read more

Made our move from Germany so much easier! Researched and read a lot of reviews before deciding on The Cats Meow Inn, the constant 5 star ratings made it an easy choice! Heather was very informative and helpful from the first email, making sure we were organized and knew what to expect from her. We flew from Germany to Hawaii, got a rental car and drove straight there and I was really worried about how the cats would be after the flights but they settled in immediately and Heather sent us photos every day to keep us updated. She was always available to answer any questions and you can tell her and her fiancé love what they do. I felt like our cats were 100% looked after and at ease so it allowed us to focus on our move without having to worry. Would recommend! read more

Heather is amazing! This was the first time I was leaving my cat, so I wanted to make sure I found place where he would be comfortable and not completely thinking that I had abandoned him. I knew after talking to Heather that he would be in great hands. She brought me such an amazing level of comfort. Yes, there are steps you must take before checking your cat in, but they are all well worth it for the safety of not only your cat, but everyone else's cat as well. Thank you so much Heather and team for such amazing service. This will be the only place I look to in the future to take care of me feline friend. read more

This is the best cat boarding place on the island! We boarded Unaru for two nights because our house was being tented. From beginning to end, Heather was a great host, making sure our kitty was safe, happy and healthy. From the beginning Heather had the highest cat health and safety standards, requiring that each cat be screened for worms if they were outside cats and have 1x application of flea treatment to keep all the kitty boarders safe. Heather also has great check- in hours and the early hours are great for people who need to travel and drop off kitty early. During Unaru's stay, Heather kept us updated on our cat, sent us pictures of how much kitty is enjoying the memory foam mattress! We got our kitty back happy, healthy and safe! I would recommend this boarding hotel for everyone! read more

The Cat's Meow Inn is the purrfect place for your kitties!!! Cats will be vacationing at this 5-star "Four Seasons for Felines", and you will have peace of mind that they are being cared for in luxury!! This is a place for Cats Only. Your kitties are never left alone. They are cared for all day, every day. You cannot beat the amazing rate of $25 per day!! Jamie and Heather, the husband-and-wife owners of this fine establishment, are kind and loving professionals. I knew that our kitty Pika would be in great hands after my first conversation with Heather. Her sweet and warm personality made me feel like we were best friends Heather gave me detailed explanations on the basic requirements for boarding (e.g., vaccine, fecal test, flea medication), which I truly appreciated. Knowing this gave me peace of mind and confidence that Pika would be in a safe and healthy environment. Unlike other places that we have contacted, The Cat's Meow Inn does not have set times for drop-off and pick-up. On top of that, Chauffeur Jamie will do all the driving! Pika was kindly greeted and picked up by Jamie the morning of our trip in his own personal car. No other kitty-riders. The day we returned, we were reunited with Pika. Awesome Chauffeur Jamie drove him back home in the rain, braving the terrible conditions. Such excellent service!!! We were so grateful that Pika was vacationing in a clean, healthy and serene environment. He had spacious accommodations and relaxed on a beautiful memory foam bed! He listened to relaxing Spa music and watched birds and geckos on the flat-screen TV! Pika also played with many fun toys! Heather and Jamie lovingly spent time with Pika. We received updates and pictures from Heather daily. Heather and Jamie even gave Pika going-home presents! Wow! So very thoughtful and generous! Pika smelled sweet and was in great spirits upon returning home. He was talkative all night, telling us all about his vacation at The Cat's Meow Inn!! Heather and Jamie have been watching and caring for kitties for nine years and the price has always been $25 per day! Other places charge $50-$200. There is chauffeur service for your fur Baby at your convenience. Our cats deserve a stress-free environment. While we also love doggies, The Cat's Meow Inn is exclusively for kitties. There are no cramped, metal cages. Just a calm, spa-like environment with relaxing music, comfy bed, TV, toys, and excellent service. Kitty guests here are well-taken care of all day, every day!! Thank you, Jamie and Heather!! We are so grateful for the tender loving care you both gave to Pika. Thank you for letting us travel to see our son's graduation. We could relax and have fun, knowing that Pika was in your excellent care!! read more

The Catʻs Meow Inn was the best for boarding my furry child while I was on a trip. I would recommend it! Heather and her husband were great at communicating from start to finish. I received texts with updates on my entire trip. The pickup and drop-off service was convenient and made the whole process less stressful. Again, I am so grateful to this company! read more

The Cat's Meow Inn continues to be awesome! We took a short neighbor island trip and entrusted our two kitties to the Cat's Meow Inn for the second time. As before, we have been thrilled with the service and accommodations for our two kitties! Heather is wonderful to work with, an excellent communicator and extremely professional. She thoroughly reviews client needs in scheduling a kitty vacation as well as providing all the details you need for ensuring that your kitties are in excellent surroundings and are being well cared for. You have complete peace of mind when you leave your kitties at the Cat's Meow Inn! You can enjoy your time away knowing that your kitties are enjoying themselves too. Heather provides frequent dispatches and pictures, so you know just what they up to. And in this time of COVID-19, Heather is very mindful of health and safety protocols, ensuring social distancing during pickup and drop off. You can't beat the peace of mind and superior attention to all the details! read more

Had an amazing experience at the Cat's Meow inn with Heather and her husband Jaime. Love the Pick up and drop off service with no extra charge. Heather was thorough in explaining her expectations. She assured me that my cat was in good hands since it was my cat's first boarding. During her stay she kept me updated and she also send photos. Would definitely use her again. read more

Long overdue review. The best luxury kitty boarding on island. We took our fur-son to his first kitty vacation here while we were on our own. Heather the owner is very "meowvelous." She went through all the requirements prior to boarding, check in and out covid protocols and everything was smooth and fast. Jamie the "Litterbox engineer/ curbside kitty valet attendant" came by our car to pick "Nylo" up. He was nice enough to have us leave his suckling blanket with him while he's away from home. Throughout our vacay Heather was kind enough to send us pictures and updates on his stay. We wouldn't want to our fur baby to stay anywhere else! read more

Look no further fellow PAWrents ... I did all the hard research and found the best place to care for your kitties! Heather and her hubby did everything I asked for and more! My kittens had just gotten "fixed" shortly before their stay, and my poor Penelope needed antibiotics as well. The cones of shame and medication were no obstacle for Heather. They are seasoned and their devotion truly shows! The facility is super secured and impeccably clean. Heather is strict about the requirements prior to arrival, but i appreciate it as it shows her dedication to the business and the safety of the guests that stay at The Cats Meow Inn. I loved the picture updates... gave me reassurance seeing what a crazy cat lady I am! My 2 babies were just chilling on the beds when I came back from my 5 night trip. I could tell that they had a good time with aunty heather! I would not hesitate to bring my kitties back, and am positive that they had an aMEOWzing time at The Cats Meow Inn! read more

This was my first time boarding my fur baby with Heather and Jamie at The Cat's Meow Inn, and WOW!!! To say I am impressed is a major understatement. From start to finish, Heather made me feel so comfortable by answering any questions I had and explaining the wonderful treatment and service they provide here. From incredible accommodations, 24/7 care, lots of updates with photos, and a relaxing environment with bird and gecko TV, there is no way my fur baby is staying anywhere else! She enjoyed her stay so much she didn't want to leave lol! If you are looking for a cat boarding service with amazing owners that prioritize your peace of mind, look no further. Seriously can't recommend them enough and I know my fur baby is looking forward to her next kitty vacation! Thank you Heather & Jamie for all that you do! So grateful to have found you! read more

Words can't describe how grateful I am for Heather! We are so incredibly sad that we have to move to the mainland because we're so concerned that we won't be able to find anyone like her to take care of our fur baby. Heather took such good care of our little Kaia while we were gone on our post-deployment honeymoon for ten days. She always remembers to send us photo updates and makes sure that our cat is always entertained, happy, and relaxed. Kaia absolutely loved the memory foam mattress in her cat condo at the inn! When we got her back she seemed so happy and relaxed too! Heather would also answer all of our cat related questions even if it's not related to the stay, since she is such a cat expert and she helped us calm our anxiety knowing that we will be traveling with our fur baby for the first time on a plane. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my little Kaia, Heather! read more

Wow! The Cat's Meow Inn is an amazing cat hotel. I took my 4 year old furbaby to their hotel. Heather & her team did a wonderful job taking care of my indoor cat. He was pampered for days when we were off island. They have gecko tv to entertain him and he had staff tending to him 24/7. He's not caged like how the vets boarding do. I'm very pleased and so grateful with The Cat's Meow Inn Cat Hotel being available. Thank you Heather and your Angels for all the love and care you've given Mallows. I recommend The Cat's Meow Inn Cat Hotel (in Kailua) for all cat parents. They really take extra to the next level of pampering and interacting with my cat. So so so grateful for them. My furbaby was in great hands and what an excellent staff. Thank you Heather for all the love, hard work, time, and care you give to all the cats in your cat hotel.

That is what makes her the BEST, she has fur babies always in her thoughts and mine too. I love her and so do my fur babies!!! read more

The Cat's Meow Inn - Hime enjoying her vacation! - Pet Boarding Near Me

There's no better cat resort on Oahu (in the world!) than The Cat's Meow Inn. Everything you've heard about the facilities is true, including the smartly-designed individual "suites," the memory foam beds (OMG), relaxing atmosphere, and the ample space to stretch their legs daily. The most important thing is that Heather and Jaime are genuine cat lovers and do this from the heart, while also being ultra perfectionists. I HAD to tell Heather she is not charging enough for this luxury service. You can see her concern for her furry guests and passion for her work in her prompt communications and daily updates. The photo-included updates are a heartwarming relief when you're away and missing your pet. With the well-designed facilities and care program, and Heather and Jaime's expert attention, the Cat's Meow Inn is the stay-cation you want to treat your cat to. Try them out while the rate is still ridiculously low, and you may discover a new excuse to go on more trips. I'm already planning our (mine and Yuki's) next getaways! PHOTOS (below): Yuki Neko purrfectly relaxed and feline like a VIP at the Cat's Meow Inn. NOT PICTURED: Me, enjoying my own carefree trip (we like to vacation separately) and so glad to get these pix and updates from Heather! read more

Leaving your pets when you go on vacation can be stressful - for both you and your pet. But NOT when your fur babies are lodged at the Cat's Meow Inn! This was our first experience with Heather and Jamie, and I'm beating myself up for not finding them sooner. Not only were our three cats given luxurious multi-level cat condos to stay in (including memory foam beds, air conditioning, music, and fish/bird television), they were given individual attention 24/7 during their entire stay. Heather even texted me photos and updates while we were gone, just to reassure me that the girls were doing great. Working with Heather up to the day we brought them in was easy; she's a great communicator. You know immediately that caring for cats is her passion. Prior to finding the Cat's Meow Inn, my cats boarded at various veterinarian's offices - while I knew they were safe, I wasn't crazy about them being in cages and left alone at night. And with all the attention and luxury afforded to their cat clients, the Cat's Meow Inn is LESS expensive than those vets' offices. I also appreciated that Heather is very careful about making sure that all their cat guests are up to date on their vaccinations and flea treatments so that you know that your cats aren't going to come home with any problems. My cats received excellent care during their two-week stay with Heather and Jamie (they were spoiled, actually). We're already planning our next vacation, and you can bet that we'll be calling Heather to have her care for our babies while we are gone. They are definitely the best at what they do. read more

This place is absolutely the best place to board your furry loved feline friend! Heather (the business owner) was so nice and professional. She has so much aloha for cats! She pampered my kitty with first class amenities such as a memory foam mattress! Heather was always accommodating and will go that extra mile! She frequently posted pictures and gave updates while we were on vacation. I trust her completely with my kitty and I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs to board their feline furry friend! I promise that your cat will experience the 5 star "paw"some accommodations! read more

5 STARS! With the combination of leaving my cat alone for the first time since I adopted her and the anxiety of traveling during a pandemic, I can honestly say I couldn't have made a better choice for my sweet Azula Heather was extremely attentive, fast and efficient in her communication and an all around sweetheart. She truly made me feel at ease during my travels and was constantly sending me pictures of my sweet girl. Azula always looked calm and at ease and she is not known to be the most chill creature at most times so it was extremely reassuring. If you live in Hawaii and you need to put your cat into boarding, I couldn't recommend anywhere else but here. From the four poster memory foam beds for the kitties, to the bird tv and sounds they could watch, this was truly a luxury experience ... without a crazy price tag. Heather has created an amazing and affordable place that ALL cat owners on Oahu should take advantage of. I couldn't recommend this more!! The Cats Meow has definitely gained another lifetime customer! read more

The Cat's Meow Inn - sweet pics of my baby - Pet Boarding Near Me

Heather is great! The cats meow inn is the perfect place to have piece of mind while on vacation. Heather is truly a special soul who cares about your baby the way you do. I had my pueo stay here while I was on vacation in Tahiti for 10 days. Heather was great with communication leading up to the drop off. She answered every question I had and was very helpful with everything. I knew when I brought Pueo in that he was in good hands. The place was clean and the cats looked happy and relaxed. Heather emailed me updates daily which made me feel great knowing my baby was well taken care of. I picked up pueo yesterday and he was very loving towards heather which made me know she had really bonded with him. I would definitely use the cat's meow inn again. The location is great and the price is very reasonable. Thank you so much heather for taking the stress off of me so I can enjoy my vacation knowing my baby is safe. read more

It was truly a "blessing in disguise" that my vet decided to no longer do pet boarding ... because I discovered a much better option with The Cat's Meow Inn! My 2 kitties needed a place to stay while we were on our 2+ week trip to Italy. After speaking to Heather (owner) via email, text, and phone, I knew her Inn was going to be the place for our precious fur-babies. She is extremely informative, efficient, detailed, friendly, and most importantly so loving and caring with cats. Her Inn is strictly a "cats only" boarding facility so rest assured, your cat babies will be relaxed and SPOILED on their stay-cations there. The wonderful cat condos, memory foam cat beds, individual play times, and cat TV are just a few of the perks offered. You will not be disappointed. This beats the vet boarding option hands down (who wants to be just cooped up in a small cage all day in a back room at the vet's, right?@#$ Nope, that sucks, don't do that, your kitties deserve much better!). AND the price per night at The Cat's Meow Inn cost LESS per night than what the vet was charging me. It's a no brainer. You will receive text updates and pics while you are away, so you will never be too far away from your fur-kids. Our greatest fear was that our cats might not want to go home after their stay-cation. LOL. I highly recommend the The Cat's Meow Inn to my friends, family, and other Yelpers. Thank you Heather for taking such wonderful care of Max and Bella. They will be back to see Aunty Heather for their next vacation :-) P.S. Max and Bella said to tell you "they already miss their Aunty Heather (and Uncle Jamie)"!! They send their love. read more

Where to begin... my little fur baby had a rough start to life. He was found when he was just a few days old and nursed back to health and then isolated due to illness until we adopted him... he's now six months old and the sweetest little boy but, he's never been out of the house and/or around other people. We were a bit nervous about going away and leaving him for TWO weeks... especially not knowing how he'd react to a strange environment. I called every boarding place on Oahu and wasn't overly thrilled with my options, especially because they were all cat/dog facilities and our neighbors dog makes him spazzy. Most places were $30+ with stacked metal cages. Then I happened to come across a place called The Cat's Meow Inn... after speaking with Heather, the owner, my worries subsided. She's just as quirky as I tend to be about the well being of my kitty. So I went out on a limb and entrusted her with the well-being of Alfredo. Best. Decision. Ever! I received daily updates with the sweetest pictures. Alfredo had a room to himself with a memory foam kitty-bed, his toys, private ensuite litter box area, playtime, bird tv, spa music, air conditioning and NO dogs! He seemed super relaxed and acclimated to his vacation home when we arrived to pick him up. I wish I could give 10 stars! I can go on and on about how safe it is, the impeccable job she does with keeping the "spa" clean, that it's cheaper than every other place on island, how there are multiple cats with zero cat smell, the adorable pictures she sends that are Insta-Heaven, how she goes above and beyond to make sure your kitty feels safe and stays healthy, her professionalism, how she handles crazy cat moms, and the sweetest parting gift ever! The Cats Meow Inn is now Alfredo's home away from home. Thank you again for keeping our boy safe AND happy. We'll see you again in a few months!! read more

My wife and I moved to Honolulu a few months ago and it took some time for us to settle in and get used to a new place. It took even longer for our kitty, Zoso, to adjust. So, when a trip to the Big Island came up, we were very hesitant to leave our baby behind and board him at an unfamiliar place. Trusting Zoso's well being to Heather at The Cat's Meow Inn turned out to be a fantastic decision. The kitty condo setup is great. They are multi-tiered and roomy. There's spa music, interactive toys, a TV that plays action movies of squirrels, birds and other classic cat cinema favorites, and an awesome tree that kitties can romp on during solo play time. When your cat stays at The Cat's Meow Inn you'll get picture updates every day from Heather and she will make sure your kitty's feeding times, meds and other routines are followed exactly like home. The facility is very clean and secure, and so is the process. There are some detailed requirements you'll need to fulfill before your furbaby can enjoy his or her vacation stay, which I very much appreciated. Heather's attention to detail was something that immediately made me relax and feel like Zoso would be well cared for. Heather herself is incredible friendly, kind and comforting from the moment you talk with her. I inquired about Cat's Meow Inn online and she called me the next day to let me know all about her place and to learn more about our family. I ended up chatting with her for an hour about many things (including restaurants!) just because I enjoyed talking to her. :-) My wife and I hoped to find a secure, loving place for Zoso to stay whenever we go on a trip. We wanted to leave him in the hands of someone who truly adores cats and wants them to be as content as possible while their owners are away. As newbies to Honolulu, we didn't know what we should expect. After letting Zoso stay at The Cat's Meow Inn I can now say, without hesitation, that Heather and her wonderful inn exceeded all the expectations I had for his vacation. Thank you!! read more

Heather is so attentive and caring, and it's such a quiet and calming environment for the kitties. Wouldn't leave my kitty with anyone else - she's so skittish, she'd do absolutely terrible at other boarders, who are stressful, loud, and cold. Cat's Meow is more affordable than other places too, and it honestly looked, felt, and smelled like a spa walking in - it's the obvious choice. When I brought my cat home, she was back to business as usual - comfy and loafing. There was none of the anger, fear, or revenge scratching/hairballs/peeing that you see in other cats who come home from other boarders. Just awesome. Thanks Heather! read more

The Cat's Meow Inn - Pet Boarding Near Me

Just wanted to share the great experience we just had using The Cat's Meow Inn. Heather was able to accommodate our last minute request during this very busy holiday season. She was always responsive, courteous, and clear in her communications. Heather was extremely thorough in explaining her expectations. The execution went smoothly and as planned for pickup and drop-off with her husband Jamie. It was clear that she loved cats and that our kids were going to be in a safe and secure environment which gave us peace of mind. During their stay, I received regular updates and photos. We are definitely going to use The Cat's Meow Inn in the future. read more
