Tiny Tails Lodge

Tucked away on 11 acres with pond views in Erin, Wisconsin, Tiny Tails Lodge is a boutique cat boarding lodge run personally by owner Mel, a Fear Free Certified boarding professional with a lifelong background in animal care. Rather than a typical kennel, the lodge is built around private, climate-controlled suites where cats are never forced from their carriers and are given time to settle in on their own terms, with round-the-clock video monitoring and routine wellness check-ins throughout their stay.

Every stay is all-inclusive, meaning there are no upsell fees for things many other facilities charge extra for.

Key Amenities

• Fear Free design practices covering color, layout, and materials to reduce stress
• Climate-controlled private suites with 24/7 monitoring and safety protocols
• Complimentary medication administration and specialized senior cat care
• Special diet prep, including refrigerated or frozen diets and extra meal sessions
• Enrichment activities such as window dayroom time, feather toy play, and an outdoor catio

Mel places particular emphasis on caring for geriatric cats and cats with medical needs, closely monitoring health and liaising with owners and veterinarians whenever something seems amiss. Owners receive regular text and photo updates during their cat's stay, and cats from the same household can share connecting rooms so they never have to be separated.

Beyond feline guests, Tiny Tails Lodge is preparing to welcome a small number of toy dogs into a separate lodging area, kept out of earshot of the cat quarters so the calm, quiet atmosphere the lodge is known for stays intact for every guest.
