What makes it different

The suites here are the largest cat suites in Santa Fe, and each one opens onto a private shaded catio for time outdoors. Indoor play space is available for cats who want to stretch out beyond their suite. Staff hold feline First Aid and CPR certification through Pet Tech. For owners who cannot make the drive, transport to and from the facility is available within Santa Fe city and county.

Practical details

The facility is open 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, seven days a week. Published rates run $35 to $55 per night. Reservations are handled by email at santafecats@yahoo.com, and the listed phone number is (505) 216-5141. Vaccinations are required for every guest, so owners should gather records from their vet before the first stay. Staff also handle medication administration and special diets, which matters for cats with ongoing health needs. Daycare is offered as well, which some owners use when a cat needs company after surgery or a quiet place during noisy home repairs.
