Feline Bed & Breakfast

My home flooded and it took 6 months for repairs to be completed. My cat was loved and care for so well. When he returned home, it was as if he never left. I don’t use the words «crazy cat people,» but I found some wonderful people as crazy about cats as I am. I can’t be more grateful for the care and love they gave my cat!

This was our first experience boarding our cat and we couldn’t have been happier. From the minute I walked in the door I knew it would be great — they even have him extra space for the same price. The technician was friendly and clearly loves the animals. We were very pleased with his stay an will definitely be bringing him back!

Feline Bed & Breakfast is amazing. I bring my cat to them and they are always very kind to him even though the cat doesn’t reciprocate on that kindness (apparently he is a mischievous terror when outside his home). He always returns «normal» and unfazed by the experience. Feline Bed & Breakfast provides a perfect home away from home.

I moved to California last spring and was couch surfing while I looked for a permanent place to live. I couldn’t take my 2 cats to my friends’ homes for various reasons. Feline B&B came highly recommended by a friend of a friend. I boarded my cats there for 6 weeks. They were a little intimidated at first, but it was clear that Joann knew how to bond with them. She also carefully tracked their eating habits and bowel movements, which put my mind at ease. I visited them every 2 – 3 days, and Joanne let me stay in the play rooms with them. It was really wonderful.
But the best testament to the great care at the Feline B&B came several weeks later. After I found a place to live, I had to go back to Ohio for a few days and boarded my cats at Feline B&B again. They were so excited to be there! They weren’t scared or nervous at all. It’s like their home away from home. Thanks, Feline B&B!

Hi, I’m the Karen mentioned in the other reviews. I just want to say that I was extremely proud of the FB&B when I was there and I have great confidence in Ramona and Joannes’s abilities to keep it running smoothly. If you can’t leave your cat home with a family member or TRUSTED pet sitter, the Feline B&B is a great place to be!
The B&B was a joy and I do miss the marvelous cats and the families that I knew for over the 14 yrs there and the 10 years prior as an Abbey Pet Hospital employee. Life is good for me and I wish the best to the B&B!

This is the first time I used Feline B&B, when I boarded my young cat for 5 days. I was in enamored from the minute I walked in… to start, they have a security door, and you have to be buzzed in. The reason for this, is they sometimes will let a cat roam around in the front desk area where the humans are… so important to cats, right? But they only do this if they think the cat can handle it. And the staff members are obviously huge cat lovers… both women I met were super affectionate towards my cat, who they had never met. And I was instantly shown the area where the cats are boarded, and was allowed to put my cat in his cubicle. And bring his own bed. So many places never even allow you to see where your animal is being boarded, much less actually place them there. AND, the cubicles were so cat friendly… glass windows, with a couple of inches of air space above and below the glass, so the cats can witness and breathe everything going on. And really roomy… enough space for a bed, a litter box, and stretching. Each cat is given free time during the day, on it’s own (or with it’s partner if it came in that way) to roam in the middle section where the «cubes» are, to play on the cat structure or enjoy all of the other cat friendly toys. This is a WONDERFUL and SAFE place to leave your beloved kitty, and know they are in capable, cat loving hands. And, in response to some of the crazy posts about this place, my cat came home secure and happy. All I could ask for and more.

We took our 6month kitten for the Thanksgiving week. We originally planned to leave him at the Cats Inn but they were overbooked and referred us here. We should of read the reviews =(.
When we picked up our baby he was withdrawn as if he was giving us the guilt trip =/​I put him in my arms and he immediately started purring. When I put him in his carrier I noticed an excessive amount of lose fur on me. Also his coat was matted and oily.
During our drive home he cried non stop which is something he never did before. Once we got home he re adjusted fine, but seems to be extra clingy. We don’t mind the extra attention he’s seeking but with the running around back and forth from room to room gives us the sense that he had no play time, human interaction (pet, held), and was not given the appropriate care. We will not be leaving him here again.

It turns out I was wrong — as a direct result of the neglect he suffered at the hands of the Feline Bed & Breakfast my cat had to be put to sleep on July 21^st. He was never able to recover from the week he spent there, in spite of a month and a half of trips to the vet, me force-​feeding him and giving him an IV of fluid everyday and being on medication. His kidneys had gone from having acute damage to full blown kidney failure.
Do not endanger your beloved cat by leaving them here! Everyone keeps telling me to take legal action against them for not medically intervening when he did not eat or drink, which I had given them permission to do when I left him there. If they had, my baby would still be alive and I wouldn’t be devastated beyond repair.
I will never recover from this. I will blame myself forever for not heeding the warnings of the bad Unilocal reviews. This all feels like a bad dream I wish I could wake up from.

boarding seems to be a very pet sensitive situation. before moving to california, i’d previously boarded my cat with her vet for both short (2 days) and long (1 week+) stays. she had done fine, but the office only boarded 4 – 5 cats at a time and would let them roam around outside the cages for most of the day. unfortunately, it seems that vet offices in california do not board pets the same way so i ended up bringing my cat to feline bed & breakfast instead.
i was gone for a couple of weeks and when i came back, my cat was obviously over stressed from the number of other animals and the lack of exercise and individual attention. she had virtually stopped eating and had lost a lot of weight. fortunately, she rebounded once i brought her home, but now i know this environment is definitely not good for her.
of course, there are other cats out there who would be fine at feline bed & breakfast (especially if you expose them to other cats at a young age). i want to be clear that i don’t fault them for my cat being stressed out, but personally i won’t be taking her back there.

I’ve been bringing my kitty here for 2 years. Yes, I started back when Karen was in charge and my kitten at the time was only 3 months old. She came back just as she was when I left the cutest, bravest and happiest kitten.
I brought her back every time since then and even with Karen gone, my Hina comes back just the same. I’m so sorry for the loss of that other person’s kitty :(there’s nothing worse than thinking you’re baby is safe. But I’ve left my Hina here and she’s always fine. She looks just the same and acts the same every time and I’ve left her here 5 times by now… 3 of which post Karen.
I still think the Feline B&B is good. I do miss Karen… who wouldn’t?
So far I still bring my kitty here every time I’m away from home and at times its for 2 – 3 weeks at a time and I’m always happy with the service =).

I boarded my two cats for four days. I made the mistake of not checking it out until the day before we left. The cubicles are VERY small– barely big enough for a mini cat box, a tiny sleeping pad and two little bowls. This leaves no room for the kitties to move around. They get «play» time once a day but this is just being put in to a larger room (decorated to appeal to people), not time with a human. My cats acted very strangely for two days after I picked them up– wailing and crying on and off all day long, something I have never heard from them. For the same price I could have had a professional come to my home twice a day for half an hour. I think this would have bee much less traumatic for my cats. The «vibe» was also a bit strange there. I didn’t get a very good feeling in general.
I would recommend another choice.

Normally I have a petsitter come to the house to take care of my cat, but when I had my house painted I had to board her for a day to get her away from the epoxy fumes. They were able to put her up in a suite on short notice, and although I had to pay the two-​day minimum, the pricing was so reasonable that this wasn’t a problem. There was room for her to roam around as well as toys, a small litterbox and places to hide. It did seem a bit chaotic, and the cubicles were fairly small, but I found it reassuring that there was a vet next door in case she needed it.
My cat came home no more crazy than when she left, so I’ll take that as her endorsement.
