The View

An entire level of our facility is dedicated to single and multi-level condos, with unobstructed views of bird feeders, birdhouses and plants that attract birds, butterflies, bees and even some squirrels and chipmunks.

We have chickadees nesting in one of our birdhouses Condos overlook birdfeeders and flowering plants that attract birds and butterflies

The ExeCATive Lounge

This is a well-stocked playroom, complete with big windows, overhead catwalks, fleece beds, cat tree, cat-size steps to the window perches, a plethora of toys and sunlight streaming in through the windows make this a real fun room, accessible to all guests daily at no extra charge.

At the Scratching Post, we believe that being able to stretch, hop and run daily contributes to the well-being of each guest. View of attractions outside the window, as well as big sunny windows will yield many a contented nap.

Birdhouses, birdfeeders and butterfly and bee-friendly plants just outside the windows attact birds, squirrels and a multitude of insects for our avid birdwatchers and insect fans.

A pinch of potent catnip will have your cat deliriously happy in this space.

Ladders make windows just as accessible to older guests Ledges, cat trees, foliage and sunny windows provide lots of exercise or rest


Purrsidential Suites

Our luxuriously appointed Purrsidential Suites, outfitted with 9 carpeted perches of varying heights, a scratching post and an upholstered chair each, allow guests even more room to explore or snuggle.

Sunny and tranquil, the suites have a close up view of a birdfeeder and birdhouses.

Rate: 1 cat $27
+$11 /each additional cat

Limit: 5 cats /suite


  Purrsidential Suite has vertical ledges, chair and birdfeeder and birdhouse view There's never a dull moment with thieving squirrels and nesting birds around. Some claim the existence of a 'squipmunk', a cross between a squirrel and a chipmunk. In the suites, cats love to strut their stuff above our heads.


Condos with a View

Each condo has an unimpeded window view. While one side of the condo is bordered by a gate, the other side is clear glass facing a sunny window that overlooks birdfeeders, birdhouses and flowering plants that attract butterflies, birds, squirrels, chipmunks and all types of critters.

You may choose to book multiple condos for your 1 cat or all of your cats, leaving the connecting portholes open so that they may visit each other or simply to have even more room. The portholes can be left open or slightly ajar for connecting units, either horizontally or vertically, for cats from the same household, creating a potentially huge multi-unit or multi-level condo.

Each unit comes with a shelf for perching and is blanketed with a soft towel.

Rate: $17/condo unit

Limit: 1 cat per unit. No limit to number of units that can interconnect
