Happy Sunday from… Sunday!☀️

Yes, that’s right; this little lady is perfectly named for today. Coincidence? We think not. Clearly, she was destined to spend her day lounging, napping, and being adored (as all Sundays should be).

We hope you’re all enjoying a lazy, cat-approved Sunday too! 🐾💛

Did you know The Cat Motel welcomes cats with special medical needs, including insulin-dependent diabetes! 💉

This is George, our adorable guest who’s rocking his stay with the cutest little tongue blep. 😛
Diabetic cats like George can enjoy a safe and comfortable holiday with us, as long as they meet a few important requirements. To ensure their well-being, diabetic guests must:

✔️ Be stable and not in the early stages of diagnosis (where insulin levels are still being adjusted).
✔️ Have a good appetite and be consistently eating well.
✔️ Be comfortable with handling for their insulin injections.

We understand that every cat is unique, and we’re happy to discuss your cat’s individual needs. If you have a diabetic cat and need holiday care, feel free to contact us for more details!

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to fancy-up our little cattery. We have some exciting things coming, and we would love to hear from you!

In the works, we have an “Entertainment Package” that will be available to add on to your kitty’s stay.
So here’s where you come in. What would YOU like to see included in this package?
A fresh pot of cat grass for your cat to munch on? Inaba treats? Photo updates? Toys?

Comment below, or email us with your fab ideas at [email protected]

We can’t wait to spoil your kitty during their stay! 😻

Finally, I have seized control of this account!😼
The humans think they run this place, but let’s be honest; The Cat Motel exists to serve me.

First of all, the room service is…acceptable. My meals arrive on time, but the portions? Questionable.

Second, the housekeeping staff insist on disturbing my litter tray masterpieces, EVERY DAY. How dare they remove my carefully curated litter arrangements?

And don’t get me started on the daily wellness checks. Yes, I know, I’m fabulous. You don’t need to keep checking.

Despite these minor grievances, I shall allow this establishment to continue operating under my supervision. You may now proceed with adoration, tribute, and Churu treats.

Regally yours,
Molly, Supreme Ruler of The Cat Motel 👑🐾
