Serving Attleboro, MA
Cat Kennel in Attleboro, MA
Attleboro families looking for a cat kennel can choose a quieter option, a cats-only cottage in Franklin with private condos and caregivers who know cats.
Kitty Cottage is a family-owned boarding facility in Franklin, Massachusetts that cares for cats and only cats. Attleboro families use us for vacations, work trips, family emergencies, moves and renovations, any time a cat needs a safe and comfortable place to stay.
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.
Whether you live near Capron Park Zoo and the city's long jewelry-making history or on the far side of town, you'll find appointment-based check-in makes the trip easy to plan. Families flying out of T.F. Green often drop off the day before or on the way to the airport.
From a Attleboro Home to Our Cottage
Think about your cat's favorite spot at home in Attleboro: high on a bookshelf, under a bed, or in the middle of the action. That preference tells us a lot. High perchers get a top-shelf condo when available; hiders get a cozy covered corner; social cats get extra visits from caregivers throughout the day.
Kittens, senior cats and cats recovering from illness are all welcome. Let us know about arthritis, kidney or thyroid conditions, diabetes or anxiety so caregivers can plan for comfort and watch for changes.
What "Cat Kennel" Means at Kitty Cottage
When Attleboro cat parents search for a cat kennel, they're usually looking for safe, supervised boarding while they travel. Our version of that is a cats-only cottage with private condos, caregivers who understand feline body language and a calm atmosphere without barking.
Learn what the condos look like on our cat boarding accommodations page, or see real guests in our cat photo gallery.
Kennel Accommodations Designed for Cats, Not Dogs
Dog kennels are built for exercise runs and easy hose-downs. Cats need vertical space, a hideaway and distance between food and litter. Each Kitty Cottage condo provides those things, with cozy bedding, multiple levels and fresh litter maintained throughout the day.
Window views are offered when available, giving Attleboro cats a front-row seat for birds and falling leaves, one of the best boredom-busters there is.
Daily Kennel Care, Included
None of the everyday comforts are sold as add-ons. Review current pricing for one, two or three cats on our rates page.
- Feeding on your cat's schedule with their regular food
- Daily wellness checks on appetite, litter and behavior
- Fresh litter and regular housekeeping
- Playtime and enrichment matched to personality
- Brushing, appropriate treats and plenty of TLC
- Medication administration for a small listed fee
Is a Kennel Stay Right for Your Attleboro Cat?
If your cat has never boarded, start with a shorter stay so they learn that you always come back. Bring a familiar blanket and their usual food. Our FAQs cover many of the questions first-time Attleboro families ask.
Packing List for Attleboro Families
We provide litter, bowls, bedding and housekeeping, so there's no need to haul supplies from Attleboro. Keep your cat's food consistent; sudden diet changes are one of the most common reasons cats eat less when they're away from home.
- Enough of your cat's regular food for the full stay, plus a little extra
- Medications in their original labeled containers
- A small blanket, bed or T-shirt that smells like home
- Your veterinarian's name and phone number
- An emergency contact who can make decisions while you travel
- A secure, hard-sided carrier
Your First Ten Minutes at Kitty Cottage
Every arrival is scheduled, so when you pull in from Attleboro a caregiver is ready for you. We review feeding instructions, medications, personality notes and emergency contacts, confirm vaccination records and settle your cat into their condo with any familiar items you brought.
At pickup we share how your cat ate, played and rested, and return any items you brought. Many Attleboro cats walk back into their carrier like seasoned travelers by their second or third stay.
A Family-Owned Cottage Attleboro Families Trust
Our team has spent years learning the small signals cats use to communicate: a slow blink, a flick of the tail, a preference for one corner of the condo. We use those cues to make each Attleboro cat's stay as calm and familiar as possible. Learn more about our story.
