Cats Cradle Cattery

Paula and Ken have taken such good care of our kitten/now cat! They love her and she seems happy to go there and happy when we pick her up. Now that our cat needs to take pills twice per day, the owners do that for us, which saves the hassle of us asking a neighbor for that extra favor if neighbors are checking on her when we are gone.\nAnd even if Cat’s Cradle raised their rates, it would still be extremely affordable. Highly recommend!

Loki stayed at Cats Cradle for about 4 1/2 months prior to an overseas move. Going in he was a pretty shy guy. Between the awesome cat energy there, "Auntie" Paula's love and attention and Ken's persistent efforts to be Loki's friend, he came out of there a different, very confident cat. On the flight from Denver to Lisbon, in the cabin with me and a layover in Newark, he was cool, calm and collected. He's settling into life in Portugal well and I can't thank Paula and Ken enough for the care Loki received with them.

This was my first experience boarding my cats and was looking for somewhere that was cats only. When I called I got minimal information but looked them up online and they had good reviews so I decided to try them. $10 a day per cat is a pretty good deal but you get what you pay for. This place is dated, the kennels are multi-level but a little small but the owners seem to love cats and the place was pretty full when I dropped my cats off for a five night stay. I left them with toys, food, and everything they could need along with instructions on how much food to give them per day. I called for updates after a night or two and got minimal responses like they were fine and when I would ask specifics I didn’t get an answer. When I went to pick them up, I found that they didn’t feed them any of the food that I brought and they were feeding them whatever they had for the rest of the cats. I asked more questions about how their stay went and got no response. Even when I walked in, they thought I was picking up a different cat. There is no real system or formal check in/check out process. My two cats were severely stressed out after picking them up and it took them a few days to recover and keep down their normal food. I will not be using them again because of the lack of updates and not feeding them the correct food.

These people obviously care about their cats. They took very good care of my two cats for about 6 days while we went to the mountains where cats were not allowed. They were very reasonably priced, too! Isn't it weird about Denver, though? They're all about animals, but you can't take them anywhere because nobody wants them in their homes.\n\nBring a cat carrier with you, because you'll need it. They seem to be very concerned with the safety of all of the cats. Several of their own cats roam the floors and they don't want them outside, which I understand. It was a very clean facility and obviously, they know how to take care and love on your cats. I found myself appreciating the care they seem to take from day one. They make it a priority to make sure that your cat is safe and they have very large cages for your cat with plenty of room to move around. Several levels in the cage, sometimes.\n\nThey require the normal level of shots and shot records, which I appreciated, helping me feel a little bit safer about bringing my cats in with other cats.\n\nThey do not accept anything but checks and cash. That's a downfall these days. I realize why they do it and it's not a bad reason, but they're a little bit behind the times. If a credit card company charges you between 4-6%, it can really hurt a small business sometimes. However, I might suggest using PayPal friends where there is no fee taken away, and some other apps that don't charge anything. Those would be simple to use and make it very easy for people to pay for their cat's stay.\n\nIf I were to ever come to Denver again, which I hope I never do because Denver is no longer a nice place to go to. Too many people. Infrastructure is not up to date and can't handle the traffic nor the number of people everywhere. Instead of a being a Rocky mountain high atmosphere, with the beautiful mountains all around you, it's pure concrete and civilization that is at its worst. That's just my opinion. Still, for the purpose of this review, I would certainly take my cats here again.\n\nThe only negative I have to this place is one that would not affect your cat care, but it was frustrating to find this place as it's kind of hidden in the woods. There's no clear bright signage saying "turn here." It could be a very dangerous place to turn into with all of the traffic and a major intersection less than a hundred foot away.
