About Us

Our Story

Purrfect Cat Boarding was born in late 2018. As an animal lover and of course as a cat owner, and also a travel bug, I found that it was very difficult to find a good solution for our cats while we, inevitable had to go away on trips.

We wanted our cats to remain comfortable like at home but without surrendering our privacy to a cat sitter who came in once a day for 20 min to feed them.

We also wanted an option that was still in close proximity to Vancouver, so we didn't have to drive an hour outside the city as one of my girls gets very car sick. I didn't want to subject them to more car rides then needed. I also wanted to see them ASAP after my trip and not have to drive so far after a long flight and being jetlagged.

Any place we found that was acceptable was a long drive and that felt like the end of the world with traffic, places within a reasonable range was not acceptable, and made me feel terrible that I was leaving my kitties in a cell, while I was out having fun.

I just thought we can't possibly be the only ones with this problem.

So after almost a year of going through the permitting and development process with the City of Vancouver Purrfect Cat Boarding opened its doors the 2019. I wanted to provide an option to other fellow cat owners in Vancouver. I wanted to them to know we have your back as a fellow cat lover and owner.

We’ve been lucky and blessed to welcome many feline guests over the years, giving us knowledge and experience that only time can provide. We're still learning every day as we meet new cats—each one unique, full of character and charisma. I tend to avoid terms like “professional” or “cat expert,” because there’s still so much we don’t know about our half-wild, half-domesticated companions. We prefer to humbly refer to our role as simply being "cat caretakers."

Each cat teaches us something new—whether it's the quiet confidence of an older cat who’s seen it all, or the wide-eyed curiosity of a kitten discovering the world. We’ve learned to listen not just with our ears, but with our hearts, because every meow, tail flick, and soft purr carries meaning and we pride ourselves on offering a safe, loving environment where each cat feels right at home. It’s not about titles, but about the connection we build with our cat owners and guests. At the end of the day, our goal is simple: to provide a comfortable, caring space where your cat can relax and enjoy their stay, just like part of the family.
