Cat Boarding Near Attleboro, Massachusetts: A Planning Guide
Attleboro cats are welcome at Kitty Cottage, a family-owned, cats-only boarding facility about 25 minutes away in Franklin, with private condos, familiar routines and no barking dogs.
Since we opened our doors in Franklin, cat parents from Attleboro have trusted us with everything from weekend getaways to month-long relocations. Our goal is simple: make your cat's time away feel calm, familiar and well cared for.
Attleboro to Franklin: Easy Directions
Kitty Cottage is at 140 Wachusett Street in Franklin, roughly 17 miles from Attleboro. Most families take Interstate 95 north to Interstate 495, then Route 140 into Franklin, and the drive usually runs about 25 minutes depending on traffic. Attleboro households range from busy downtown neighborhoods near the commuter rail station to quieter streets out toward South Attleboro and the Rhode Island line.
Known for Capron Park Zoo and the city's long jewelry-making history, Attleboro is part of Bristol County. Many households here plan a quick Franklin stop before heading to T.F. Green, and pick their cat up on the way home.
From a Attleboro Home to Our Cottage
Every home in Attleboro is different. A cat who spends the day in a sunny window near Capron Park Zoo and the city's long jewelry-making history has different habits from one who shares a busy household with kids and visitors. Tell us how your cat lives at home, including where they sleep, when they eat and what they do when guests arrive, and we will mirror as much of that routine as possible.
If your cat has quirks, such as eating only from a flat dish, hating the sound of a can opener or needing a nightly chin scratch, write them down. Small details make a big difference to a cat in a new place.
Planning Cat Boarding From Attleboro, MA: Start Here
The best stays begin with a little planning. Check your cat's vaccination records first; FVRCP and rabies must be current, and flea prevention is required for every guest, including indoor-only cats. Your veterinarian in Bristol County can send records ahead of time so check-in is quick.
Then think about arrival time. Check-in by 11:30 am means no charge for the arrival day, and check-out at 5:30 pm or later means no charge for the departure day, which can make a real difference on a long trip out of Attleboro. Details are on our rates page.
Comparing Boarding Options Near Attleboro
When you compare boarding near Attleboro, ask a few direct questions. Are dogs boarded in the same building? Are cats kept in small cages or private condos with separate litter areas? Is playtime included or sold as an add-on? Will staff give medications, and what does that cost?
We think those answers matter more than a fancy lobby. Kitty Cottage keeps the focus on cats, includes enrichment and attention in every stay, and explains all fees up front on our rates page.
Health and Safety Standards We Hold Every Guest To
Every cat that boards with us meets the same health standards, which protects your cat as much as everyone else's. Cats should be healthy at arrival, current on required vaccines and on flea prevention. Cats over six months old should be spayed or neutered. If a guest seems unwell during a stay, we contact you and your veterinarian promptly.
Read the complete list on our health and safety requirements page, and bring your veterinarian's name and an emergency contact when you check in.
Long Stays, Short Stays and Everything Between
Whether you're away for two nights or two months, the care is the same. Extended stays beyond 21 days are discounted, and we're happy to talk through relocation or renovation timelines with Attleboro families who need flexible dates.

A Family-Owned Cottage Attleboro Families Trust
Kitty Cottage is family-owned and intentionally small. Caregivers get to know each guest by name, notice the cat who prefers the top shelf and the one who wants breakfast exactly at seven, and adjust each day around them. That personal attention is hard to find at large, mixed-pet facilities.
