Lance, Cash, and Debbie have created a caring, sophisticated environment where my cat had plenty of room to roam--all within a protected, garden-like enclosure. They love cats and it shows; they even assisted with my cat's health issue at no extra charge. They provided lots of personal attention, care, and high-quality meals so that my cat was truly happy when I picked him up. It all adds up to a wonderful, five-star vacation for my cat. Thanks guys! See you next time! Larry P. Carlsbad.
Having just arrived from Australia, along with our cat- Marvin, I feel incredibly lucky to have found Cat Villa almost immediately. It is a unique, amazing home-away-from-home for cats and Marvin loves it. Each cat has his/her own very comfortable space, and may also explore the communal climbing platforms and 'indoor tree' area which is open to every cat, whenever they choose. Only 10 cats can board at any one time, so there is a sense of community and plenty of space for each cat. Cash, Lance and Debbie really spend a lot of time and thought on caring for their feline guests and also on keeping in contact with their owners during their time apart. I know that Marvin is not only safe and well-cared for when he stays here, he is also happy, loved and treated as an individual. I've used many cat-boarding places over the past 30+ years, and Cat Villa really is the best ever. Jacqueline B. Encinitas.
We just brought our cat Sasha home after a 3 day stay at Cat-Villa in Encinitas. WOW...what a GREAT experience for us and our cat. Cat-Villa is an incredible facility that is totally focused on cats. They offer very personalized service and limit the number of cats to around 10, at any one time. The cats can play in the free zone or retire to their Cat Cubby's, all the while looking out over a beautiful garden and watching birds or fish on their dedicated flat screen TV! Cash, Lance and Debbie run this as a very professional business.... but they obviously REALLY love cats. If you are looking for a cat boarding facility anywhere near Encinitas and want the ABSOLUTE best for your cat....at a very reasonable price.... then you must consider Cat-Villa.... they are simply the BEST of the BEST!!!". T. L. Encinitas.
The staff at Cat-Villa went above and beyond to make our furry family member, Lolz, feel safe, comfortable and loved. With several updates about his wellbeing, along with (very artistic!) photographs of our feline, we felt connected to his adventures while we were away on our own! Thank you Cat-Villa for your quality care and compassion for cats. You are so very appreciated! -The Hawk-Miller family". Jeremiah M. Encinitas.
They took such great care of our Cat Dharma while we were away for 10 days. It was a difficult situation because a few days before we left, she had to have several teeth removed at the Vet. Cash and Lance not only gave her medication, they took her to her scheduled post-op check up at the Vet. Dharma has never boarded before but she seems to have really enjoyed her stay at the Cat Villa, and was even lounging on the roof of her apartment when we came to pick her up. This is a wonderful establishment, staffed by responsible cat-lovers. I would recommend them to anyone and use them again without hesitation". Stu T. Carlsbad
This place is amazing. We boarded Little Miss Trouble here for a week, and couldn't have been happier. They sent photos of Trouble enjoying herself, playing with other cats and climbing up, around, on top of and below the rope tree, platforms and condo roofs. They give lots of one-on-one attention to the cats and really tailor their care to what each individual cat needs. Trouble is pretty demanding of attention and she got plenty, while other cats there wanted privacy and quiet. What comes across most is how much Cash, Debbie and Lance truly understand cats and enjoy looking after them as if they were their own. Treat your cat to its own cat-vacation at the Cat Villa. We have already booked Trouble's second stay". Jane B. Encinitas.
We moved our much loved cat from Australia to the US, she arrived unaccompanied and stayed for a few weeks while we were getting settled. She was so well taken care of and we were able to visit her at any time. She has been back to visit several times since and Cash, Lance and Debbie take such good care of her, with regular emails and updates on how she's doing. The facilities are lovely and the cats are all spoilt with lots of attention and love. This is the only place we will trust with our little girl! Justine M. Carlbad.
We felt comfortable at last, leaving our precious 'children' with Cash, Lance, and Debbie,
knowing that they will be in the best care possible.
Our diva "Melody" loved the place, because
she received all the attention a queen is entitled to.
Our more introverted "Robbie" had a
difficult time adjusting, but he ate and hid, and his wishes were respected. He was not forced to be
'out there', and because of that, we felt we found someone who valued our cats as much as we did.
We would leave our cats in CAT-VILLA's care anytime, and feel reassured that they would receive optimum
care. Thanks so much" Jocelyn and Dylan. Carlsbad.
They took excellent care of them, and even sent emails with pictures, during their stay. We were happy to know they were safe, and had plenty of play time. Cash even has helped to make the skittish kitty better socialized. Now they are home and back to their naughty curtain-climbing ways. We will definitely take our kitties back there, the next time we leave town". Kathleen C. Del Mar.
