Serving Foxboro, MA
Cat Kennel in Foxboro, MA
A cat kennel without the cages or the barking: Kitty Cottage in Franklin welcomes Foxboro cats into private multi-level condos with attentive, cats-only care.
For Foxboro cat owners, peace of mind while traveling starts with knowing exactly who is caring for your cat. At Kitty Cottage that means a small, dedicated team, a cats-only building and care shaped around your cat's habits.
Getting to Kitty Cottage From Foxboro
Kitty Cottage is at 140 Wachusett Street in Franklin, roughly 10 miles from Foxboro. Most families take Route 140 west, straight into Franklin, and the drive usually runs about 15 minutes depending on traffic. Foxboro is a quick, direct drive on Route 140, which makes it one of the easiest towns for appointment-based drop-offs and pickups.
Known for Gillette Stadium, Patriot Place and the Foxboro town common, Foxboro is part of Norfolk County. Many households here plan a quick Franklin stop before heading to Logan, and pick their cat up on the way home.
Cats and Daily Life in Foxboro
Think about your cat's favorite spot at home in Foxboro: 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.
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.
What "Cat Kennel" Means at Kitty Cottage
The word kennel often brings to mind rows of wire cages and a noisy room. Kitty Cottage is a cat kennel in the original sense, a place that boards cats, but the experience is closer to a small, quiet guesthouse. Guests stay in private multi-level condos rather than cages, and the building has never housed dogs.
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.
For multi-cat Foxboro households, siblings can share a condo or stay in adjoining condos, so they're close without having to compete for space.
Daily Kennel Care, Included

Is a Kennel Stay Right for Your Foxboro Cat?
Most healthy, vaccinated adult cats adapt well to a quiet kennel stay, especially when their food and routine stay consistent. Shy cats often need a day to settle; that's normal and we give them the time. Kittens, seniors and cats with medical needs are welcome; just tell us about them during booking.

Why Foxboro Cat Parents Come Back
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 Foxboro cat's stay as calm and familiar as possible. Learn more about our story.
