Whiskers

Fantastic place for my cat. Large spacious rooms and the people that run this place are very caring for the cats. Their facility and care for my cat let me stop worrying about my cat during my vacations :)
⁵⁄₅ will board my cat here again

Wonderful facility! Our 2 cats have stayed there twice and love it. Each room has a high overlook perch and some rooms have birdcage or gerbils they can be entertained with. Some rooms have windows to watch over the outdoor bird feeders. You can pay extra for time in the playroom or individual exercise time. Staff are friendly and the place is kept very clean. I would definitely recommend Whiskers!

Wonderful place to board your cat! My cat spent 10 days here while we were on vacation. She loved the place. Her suite had a window and several perches at different heights. She ate well while there and seemed very content and happy when we picked her up. The staff are great lovers of cats. I appreciate the care that they provide to each cat and the bird entertainment! Great place!

I don’t own a cat, but if I did, this is the place I would board my baby. Nice people and place that truly cares about cats.

Whiskers is a godsend. My poor cat was stricken with quite a few medical problems all at once last October, which also happened to be the month we had to go out of town for a wedding. I was really scared to leave him considering he was still on the mend from major surgery and required medicine every 12 hours but after his first visit I am completely at ease with leaving him there.
The ladies who take care of the kitties are true cat lovers and treat them all so special and will do just about anything they need to be comfortable and at ease. We get our cat one of the largest suites in the corner with a view of both a bird feeder outside the window and a view of the cage of finches in the hallway. He loves it. So much so that he didn’t even want to come home! Just be aware that if you have a cat that you think doesn’t enjoy being in high places that this will probably change after they come home from Whiskers! He loves the little shelves and the skybox. He pretty much stays up there his entire stay.
As if it wasn’t enough that they are totally ok with all his special needs and checking on his breathing regularly and giving him plenty of love, they also send updates on a daily basis. Often with pictures! Once they even sent me a video of him on YouTube so I could see for myself how he was doing!
I love Whiskers. I wouldn’t be able to leave town if it wasn’t for them. Thank you!!!

A pleasant, clean, cat lovers paradise. I had to leave my 3 boys in a kennel for 8 – 9 days. Touring the surrounding cat/​dog kennels… between the constant barking and the ammonia smell, I couldn’t leave my boys there if I had to. Whiskers was a blessing. No smell, each room was immaculate, had sky boxes, birds to watch, wall stairs, individual attention. I was worried they wouldn’t want to come home!

Excellent place! I’m very particular and usually hesitant to board my cat anywhere but these people care! My cat loved it there and was very happy. When I came to pick her up she was happy and looking at the birds. They provide everything any cat would need to occupy their time and be happy! They know cats and offer any kind of information u need.

This place is the very best! I hate to leave my cat anyplace. Not so at Whiskers! They take such good care of cats & give them a large place to roam around in and places to climb. The owners truly care for cats & even sent me a video of my cat while he was there. I’ll definitely use them again & again!

I have never put my cat in a kennel/​boarding before and was really nervous at first to do so. I was over the top pleased with my experience at whiskers. The owners went above and beyond my expectations of what I would have expected and Mo had so much playing all day. It was exciting to receive photo updates of his time there. I will always bring Mo back to Whiskers Everytime we go out of town. Thank you for your caring and kindness toward my furbaby! It really makes a difference and puts me at peace of mind when I’m not there.

I boarded my kitten Nala here right before she turned six months old while I was getting married in Mexico. She was there for seven full days and I was extremely worried leaving here because of her age, the fact that she has never been overnight without me and because she has an asthma condition that causes her to need to be put in a nebulizer twice a day. Putting her in the nebulizer itself can be a feat with a crazy, energetic and scratchy kitten. I left her Sept. 20 and got her the slightly larger one kitten unit with the view of the bird feeders. I opted to get her playroom and exercise sessions because she is very active. I also paid to get the daily picture updates. She seemed very excited to have such high spaces to climb and I left her knowing that she would be in good hands.
Nala was very entertained with the birds and activities provided. I received more than daily picture updates, but also the occasional video message. Because it wasn’t that busy, Nala received extra playroom and exercise time and extra love and attention. They were professional enough to understand her medical procedure and I felt entirely comfortable leaving her there. I plan and bringing her back for a short stay over thanksgiving for my long weekend trip.
Best part of all– NO DOGS :) In a world where they are countless opportunities for dogs it’s nice to see them excluded.

Whiskers was an excellent choice to keep my two kittens while I went to family reunion. I especially loved the fact that it is «cats» only! Chester and Kenzi seemed to have as great a time as I had at the beach. The facility was clean and the playroom was a big hit. Thanks for taking such good care of my pets. Would recommend this place to all cat lovers.

My cats, like a lot of cats, are very particular about who and what they like. I was very concerned about boarding them. I literally thought it might kill them. One of my cats is a bit older and has some health issues. However, it was crucial that I boarded them because I was trying to sell my house and look for a new home in another city at the same time. Whiskers was great. They gave me no grief about boarding my older cat (which I encountered at another boarding facility) and they calmed my fears by letting me know that the cats would be in a relaxing environment. While I was away, Whiskers kept me up to date with emails, pictures and were quick to respond to a couple of messages I left checking in on the cats. This is a great place. I’m moving, but if I were staying near Austin, I would be sure to utilize them again. Thank you, Whiskers!

Whiskers provides a great service! I have two young, active indoor cats that I had to leave the week of the 4^th of July. The space is very clean and cat friendly with plenty of climbing options… and no dogs. My cats appreciate lots of attention and I was grateful for the ability to purchase extra play time for them each day. Whiskers in located in Georgetown. I live in Oak Hill. It was well worth the 45 minute drive.

This is a really great place for cats only. The rooms even have overhang areas at the top made out of something like chicken wire. The cats can hang out up there and watch the birds that are caged nearby. Each room also has a cat tree and shelves leading up to the overhang. I have boarded my cats twice.

What a great place! I was not surprised that my cats did not want to leave. They have lots of neat cat stuff — perches, alcoves above the doors, and even a playroom with birds in a cage. Very clean accommodations. I would highly recommend Whiskers! Very reasonable pricing as well.

I can’t say enough good things about Whiskers Cat Boarding. I have three cats, one of which needs daily insulin shots, and I have to travel regularly. It is not easy finding a place that can give daily injections, let alone a place where my spoiled and dog-​phobic cats will feel safe and comfortable. I used to keep them at a very nice luxury place that boards cats and dogs. It was really nice and well run with a separate area for the cats, but still my cats would always be so stressed out when I went to pick them up because of the constant barking of the dogs. Plus it was really cost prohibitive with the three cats. Even though they were all boarded in the same room, I received only a small token discount for the additional cats.
For a long time, though, that was my best option. But driving down Williams Drive, I noticed a new cats-​only place that just opened and decided to stop in and take a look around. This place was as nice as the other luxury place, with a few key differences. First, *NO DOGS.* The place is so nice and quiet, so much less stressful, with classical music playing in the background instead of the ruckus of dozens of dogs. They have a little cage with finches in it that all the cats can see and the cats all have sky boxes where they can hang out. The sky boxes are wire, not glass, so the cats feel a part of the action yet aloof and protected – just how cats like it, ha, ha. Also, I am very picky about sanitation and this place was spotless. But the best thing – they charge only $ 5.00 extra per day for additional cats. Are you kidding me?!? The other place didn’t even give me a $ 5.00 *discount* per cat. That, and the fact that this place’s prices are slightly less to begin with, means that I pay less than half what I was paying at the other place and no dogs to boot. But then the big question: Do they do insulin shots? I was so excited to discover that they do.
I actually had a trip coming up in a few weeks, so went ahead and made reservations. When I stopped by, I saw an awesome cat tree they were selling, cheaper than PetSmart and much nicer quality. I asked them if I could buy the cat tree and have it put in the cats’ room for them during their stay, picking it up at the same time I picked the cats up, and they agreed. They also allowed me to bring my cats’ own favorite bedding and toys, which was nice. I left my cats there for three nights and when I came back to pick them up they seemed happy to see me but really not all that stressed at all. It’s such a cute and homey little place, they probably just thought they went to stay with a friend or something.
I really am so glad that I found Whiskers. Now I can go away without worrying about my sweet babies. I know they will be well taken care of and much less stressed. I’m already planning a summer vacation – something I haven’t done in several years!
