Daily Cat Boarding Rates
Our daily boarding rates are based on how many cats are staying and whether they will share accommodations or stay in individual condos.
One Cat in One Condo
Your cat will enjoy their own private condo with comfortable bedding and daily care from our Kitty Cottage caregivers.
This option is ideal for individual cats who enjoy having a personal space to call their own while they're away from home.
Your cat's stay includes:
- Private multi-level accommodations
- Cozy bedding
- Daily housekeeping
- Fresh litter
- Feeding according to your instructions
- Daily wellness checks
- Individual attention
- Playtime and enrichment
- Treats when appropriate
- Plenty of TLC
Learn more about where your cat will stay on our Cat Boarding Accommodations page.
Two Cats Sharing One Condo
If you have two compatible cats from the same household, they may be able to stay together in shared accommodations.
This can be a comfortable option for cats who are accustomed to being together at home and prefer having a familiar companion nearby while their family is away.
Shared boarding includes the same daily care and amenities provided to our individual guests.
Not sure whether your cats should stay together?
Tell us about their personalities and normal home routine when you Request a Stay, and we can discuss the best accommodation arrangement.
Two Cats in Two Condos
Some cats may live together happily at home but still benefit from having their own personal space during boarding.
For those families, Kitty Cottage offers individual condos for each cat.
This option includes all standard boarding amenities for both guests.
Adjoining condos may be available, subject to availability, allowing cats from the same household to remain close while still having separate accommodations.
Three Cats in Three Condos
For families boarding three cats who each need their own space, individual condo accommodations are available.
Each cat receives their own condo and the same daily care, attention, enrichment, feeding, and housekeeping included with every Kitty Cottage stay.
Adjoining accommodations may be available depending on occupancy and your requested dates.
If you're boarding several cats or have questions about the best arrangement for your household, please contact Kitty Cottage before booking.
What's Included in Your Cat's Boarding Rate?
We believe cat boarding should be about more than simply providing a place for your cat to stay.
Every Kitty Cottage guest receives attentive daily care designed around their comfort, routine, and personality.
Standard boarding includes:
Comfortable Accommodations
Guests stay in private multi-level condos with cozy bedding and separate areas for normal daily activities.
Visit our Accommodations page to learn more about our cat boarding environment.
Daily Wellness Checks
Our caregivers keep an eye on each guest throughout their stay, paying attention to eating habits, behavior, litter use, activity, and overall comfort.
Personalized Feeding
We follow each guest's feeding instructions and work to maintain their normal routine whenever possible.
Cats with special diets or prescription food can often be accommodated.
Fresh Litter & Housekeeping
Condos and litter areas receive regular attention to help maintain a clean, comfortable boarding environment.
Playtime & Enrichment
Playtime is part of the Kitty Cottage experience, not an added upgrade.
Depending on your cat's personality and preferences, enrichment may include toys, climbing, exercise outside the condo, window-watching, affection, or quiet companionship.
Brushing, Treats & TLC
Brushing, appropriate treats, playtime, snuggles, and plenty of TLC are included at no additional charge.
Your cat shouldn't have to purchase an "activity package" to receive attention.
Medication Administration Rates
Some cats require medications or additional medical care during their stay.
Kitty Cottage caregivers can accommodate many common medication and treatment routines.
Medication fees are charged per administration and are separate from the standard daily boarding rate.
If your cat requires medication or other special care, please tell us exactly what they need when you request their stay.
Medication instructions should be clearly provided at check-in, and all medications should be supplied according to Kitty Cottage's current requirements.
For more information about vaccinations, illness policies, medications, flea prevention, and other boarding requirements, visit our Health & Safety page.
Long-Term Cat Boarding Rates
Sometimes a cat needs somewhere comfortable to stay for more than a typical vacation.
Families may need long-term cat boarding because of:
- Extended travel
- Business assignments
- Relocation
- Moving between homes
- Home renovations
- Family emergencies
- Temporary housing situations
- Extended vacations
Kitty Cottage offers discounted pricing for qualifying extended stays.
Discounted rates begin after 21 days, and stays longer than 21 days require a 50% deposit.
Because long-term boarding needs vary, please contact us directly for current extended-stay pricing and availability.
Our Two-Day Minimum
Kitty Cottage has a two-day minimum charge for boarding stays.
Even if your cat's visit is shorter than two full days, the minimum boarding charge will still apply.
This policy helps us maintain the staffing, preparation, cleaning, and accommodations needed to provide each guest with individualized care.
If you aren't sure how your check-in and check-out times will affect the cost of your stay, contact us before booking and we'll be happy to clarify.

- The week including New Year's Day
- February school vacation week
- April school vacation week

Planning to Board More Than One Cat?
Multi-cat households have different needs.
Some cats are happiest staying together. Others benefit from having their own condo, even if they normally live together at home.
Kitty Cottage offers several boarding arrangements to make it easier to choose the option that's appropriate for your cats.
Current options include:
- One cat in one condo — $30/day
- Two cats sharing one condo — $38/day
- Two cats in two condos — $55/day
- Three cats in three condos — $75/day
Adjoining condos may be available for families who want their cats to have individual accommodations while remaining close to one another.
Availability varies, so let us know what you're looking for when you Request a Stay.
Playtime, Affection & TLC Included
When you review boarding rates in Massachusetts, you'll find that some traditional pet kennels charge extra for playtime, petting, treats, and individual interaction.
At Kitty Cottage, those things are included with your cat's stay.
Our caregivers provide enrichment and individual attention daily at no additional charge.
Some cats are active and enjoy playtime. Others are happiest curling up and being brushed. Some simply enjoy being near a familiar caregiver.
We work to understand what makes each guest comfortable and provide attention tailored to their personality rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
