Camp Catnip Boarding-The purrfect place for your kitty while you're away!
Fun and safe cat boarding for your furry friends!
Welcome to Camp Catnip: Offering Both Day and Overnight Camp
Our Mission
At Camp Catnip, we believe every cat deserves a fun and safe place to stay while their humans are away. Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment for cat boarding that feels like a vacation for your feline friend.
Our Story
When I was a flight surgeon in the U.S. Navy, travel was simply part of life. Finding a great place to board my dogs was usually easy. Finding a place where I felt comfortable leaving my cats was another story.
My choices were often to leave them at home and ask a friend to stop by, board them at the veterinarian’s office—a place they already associated with being poked and prodded—or use a boarding facility that housed both dogs and cats. Even at wonderful facilities, the unfamiliar sounds and barking dogs could be terrifying for a cat.
I kept thinking: Cats deserve a place of their own.
That idea eventually became Camp Catnip—a fun, comfortable, and stimulating place created for cats and only cats, where they can stay and play while their people are away. It’s a place designed by people who genuinely know, understand, and love cats, with plenty of attention, enrichment, affection, and, for those who want them, snuggles.
My medical background also brings something a little unusual to Camp Catnip. I’m a physician—a medical doctor for people, not a veterinarian—but I’m very comfortable caring for cats with more complicated needs. Medications, insulin injections, tube feedings, and other special care don’t intimidate me, so medically fragile cats are often able to stay with us when their owners might otherwise be nervous about leaving them.
And while human medicine and veterinary medicine are certainly not the same, cats and humans are both mammals, and there is a surprising amount of overlap in how illness can present. Over the years, my medical training has sometimes helped me recognize when something about one of our campers just wasn’t right. When that happens, I let the owner know so they can follow up with their veterinarian for the appropriate evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment.
Camp Catnip grew out of something I wanted for my own cats: a place where they could be safe, comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for while I was away.

Welcome to Camp Catnip CAT Boarding

Round the Clock Care
Your cat’s safety and comfort are always our priority. Camp Catnip is monitored 24/7 by security cameras, allowing us to keep an eye on our campers even when we aren’t physically on site.
Our owner lives less than a mile away and is at Camp Catnip most days, with additional visits throughout the evenings and weekends. Because we’re so close, we can—and do—come in whenever something needs attention, day or night.
Whether it’s checking on a cat who seems unsettled, responding to an unexpected issue, or making a middle-of-the-night trip to Camp Catnip, we’re never far away. You can travel knowing that your cat is being monitored around the clock and that someone who knows and cares about them is close by when needed.
Affordable Pet Boarding Rates
We believe that quality pet care should be affordable for everyone. That's why we offer competitive pet boarding rates without sacrificing on the quality of care.
Female Disabled Veteran Owned Business
