◉About The Country InnCaring for Cats Since 2005
A family-owned, cat-only boarding experience shaped by a deep love for animals and a commitment to gentle, attentive care.
◉Our storyAbout Our Facility & Owner
My husband, myself and our two daughters, ages 6 years old and 2.5 years old, have purchased the beautiful 6 acre property where The Country Inn For Cats was founded in 2005 by my parents. They have officially retired as of June 2023. Our boarding facility is designed to provide a quiet, safe, home-like environment- exclusively for cats! Many of our feline friends do not do well with the stress of the noisy environments that are found in mixed species kennels. Our ‘cat house’ is located on our property, a mere 150 feet from our home. Although our daily average is 10 to 15 cats, we are able to care for up to 30 cats- which has proven necessary on more than one occasion during the busy traveling and holiday seasons. Growing up on a farm I found my love and devotion to animals, and especially to cats. As an adult I am very involved in animal rescue, rehabilitation and fostering, and have extensive knowledge and experience caring for animals who require special medical attention and am able to quickly recognize an animal in distress. I have worked alongside my mom and dad throughout the years and have full confidence that I will continue to provide your beloved cats the 5 star care that you (and they) have received from my parents over the years. Additionally, we are a proud military family and as of June 1, 2023 we offer a military discount. My husband retired after 20 years of active duty in the military and is now a Sheriff’s Deputy for the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Department.
Just a friendly reminder that we schedule our appointments in 15 minute intervals. This time reservation is important so that we are able to devote a reserved amount of time to each individual client, and to ensure that we have accurate feeding and prescription(s) instructions. This also gives time for our cat clients and their owners to feel comfortable with the transition. I am a very busy mama and want to ensure that your time and mine is respected, so I ask that you please keep us updated on changes to your appointment times. I can be contacted via text or phone call at 360-581-2033.
Thank you all for your continued business. Please contact me directly if you have any questions!
We can’t wait to meet you and your cat!

Our Approach to CareExperienced, Total Cat Care
Sue has three years of veterinary experience and is trained to give oral medications, sub-q fluids and insulin injections for diabetic cats. We ask owners to bring their cat’s own food to keep their diet consistent. We cater to each cat’s individual diet needs, if frequent feedings are necessary. In addition, to ensure your cat gets their daily exercise and stimulation, we have each cat take turns outside of their condo either individually or with other cats under supervision. We treat every cat as if they were at home, and truly care for their needs and wellbeing.
We require each cat to be current on their vaccines and flea prevention medication. We use the same sanitizing products used at veterinary clinics to ensure our facility is safe and clean.
◉WELCOME TO OUR CATTERYNew Client Information
We are always welcoming new clients to our facility, and our hours are by appointment only. Every reservation requires an appointment time, to help us best accommodate our clients. Please call to make arrangements or to schedule your pre-boarding visit. Enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or cocoa while you visit or take it to go.
To ensure the health of your cat and other guests, we require all cats be up-to-date on their vaccinations and flea prevention medication. In addition, we use the same sanitizing products used by veterinary clinics. We are committed to keeping our facility safe and clean.
To make sure your cat receives individualized care, we print their information on a cage card and attach it to the front of their condo. This info includes their feeding instructions, medical information (if applicable), and their personality traits. We keep track of their daily intake of food, water and/or medications and output of urine and stool.
