One Franklin Cottage, Many Communities
Every Kitty Cottage stay takes place at our facility at 140 Wachusett Street in Franklin, Massachusetts. We don't run satellite locations or make home visits. Instead, cat families from more than thirty-five cities and towns bring their cats to us because they want a quiet, cats-only boarding environment with private condos and caregivers who understand feline behavior.
Franklin sits right where Interstate 495, Route 140 and Route 1A come together, which makes the drive simple from almost every direction. Bellingham, Medway, Norfolk and Wrentham families are often here in ten minutes. Woonsocket, Cumberland and North Attleboro are about twenty. Providence, Pawtucket, Cranston and Fall River are within roughly forty-five minutes, and many travelers leaving from T.F. Green or Logan drop off on the way.
Whichever town you call home, your cat receives exactly the same experience: a private multi-level condo, their own food served on their own schedule, daily wellness checks, playtime and plenty of attention. Learn what's included on our cat boarding accommodations page.
Norfolk County Neighbors
Our closest neighbors make up a large share of our guests. Families in Bellingham, Medway, Norfolk, Wrentham, Millis and Plainville can reach us in about ten to fifteen minutes on local roads. That short drive makes it easy to schedule check-in on the morning you leave and pick up on the afternoon you return.
A little farther out, Foxboro, Norwood and Canton families use Route 140 and Interstate 95. Many of them commute toward Boston during the week and appreciate an appointment-based check-in that fits around work and flights out of Logan. Franklin residents themselves can start with our Franklin cat boarding page.
The Attleboros, Mansfield, Norton and Bristol County
South and east of Franklin, cat parents in Attleboro, North Attleboro, Mansfield, Norton and Seekonk find us an easy drive on Interstate 495, Route 1 or Route 140. Fall River and Bridgewater families come up Route 24 when they want a cats-only alternative to the mixed dog-and-cat kennels closer to home.
Because these towns sit between Boston and Providence, many households here fly out of T.F. Green. Dropping your cat off in Franklin the afternoon before an early flight keeps the morning calm, for you and your cat.
Milford, Hopedale and the Blackstone Valley
West of Franklin, the Interstate 495 and Route 16 corridors bring us guests from Milford, Hopedale, Mendon, Upton, Uxbridge and Northbridge. Many cats from these quieter, more rural towns are used to a peaceful home, and our calm cottage is designed to feel the same.
Farther north on Interstate 495, Hopkinton and Hudson families have a straight highway drive to our door, and Natick cat parents often take Route 16 west when they want a cats-only alternative to pet sitting.
Northern Rhode Island and the Providence Area
Franklin is just a few miles from the Rhode Island line, so a large share of our guests come from across the border. Woonsocket, Cumberland, North Smithfield, Lincoln and Smithfield families reach us by Route 146, Route 122 or Route 114 in twenty to thirty minutes.
From Providence, Pawtucket, North Providence and Cranston, Interstate 95 and Interstate 295 make the trip about thirty-five to forty minutes. City cat owners who live in apartments or condos often tell us they chose Kitty Cottage for the quiet: no dogs, no barking and a calm suburban setting.
Cat Boarding, Cat Kennel and Pet Sitting Alternative Pages
For each town we've written separate pages for the three ways people tend to search: cat boarding, cat kennel and pet sitting. All three describe the same Franklin cottage and the same care, but each one answers different questions. The cat boarding pages describe a typical day and how to plan a stay. The cat kennel pages explain how our private condos differ from traditional cages and what to look for when you compare kennels. The pet sitting alternative pages compare an in-home sitter with a supervised, cats-only stay.
You'll find every town and every page in the directory below. If your town isn't listed, you are still very welcome. Many of our guests travel from farther away, and the care is exactly the same.
What Every Family Can Expect
Current pricing starts at $30 per day for one cat. Two cats sharing a condo are $38 per day, two cats in separate condos are $55, and three cats are $75. Every detail, including medication fees and extended-stay discounts, is on our cat boarding rates page.

Planning Your Drive to Kitty Cottage
Most cats travel best in a secure, hard-sided carrier lined with a towel or a worn T-shirt that smells like home. Leave the carrier out for a few days before the trip so your cat sees it as furniture, and cover it lightly in the car to block busy views. Keep the car cool and quiet, and plan to arrive at your scheduled appointment time so a caregiver can greet your cat without a crowd.
Before your first visit, review our new guest information and health and safety requirements. Current FVRCP and rabies vaccinations and flea prevention are required for every guest, no matter which town you're driving from.
