A happy feline guest at Kitty Cottage, serving Wrentham, MA

Since we opened our doors in Franklin, cat parents from Wrentham 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.

The Drive From Wrentham to Franklin

Kitty Cottage is at 140 Wachusett Street in Franklin, roughly 6 miles from Wrentham. Most families take Route 140 or Route 1A into Franklin, and the drive usually runs about 10 minutes depending on traffic. Wrentham shares a border with Franklin, so most families here are about ten minutes from our door.

Whether you live near Wrentham Village Premium Outlets and Lake Pearl 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 Wrentham Home to Our Cottage

Every home in Wrentham is different. A cat who spends the day in a sunny window near Wrentham Village Premium Outlets and Lake Pearl 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.

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 Wrentham 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 Wrentham 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 Wrentham 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 Wrentham families ask.

Packing List for Wrentham Families

We provide litter, bowls, bedding and housekeeping, so there's no need to haul supplies from Wrentham. 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

What Happens at Check-In

Every arrival is scheduled, so when you pull in from Wrentham 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 Wrentham cats walk back into their carrier like seasoned travelers by their second or third stay.

A Family-Owned Cottage Wrentham 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.

Cat Boarding Rates for Wrentham Families

Rates are the same for every family, whether you live in Wrentham or around the corner. One cat in one condo is $30 per day, two cats sharing a condo are $38 per day, two cats in separate condos are $55 per day, and three cats in three condos are $75 per day. Playtime, brushing, treats and attention are included, and medication administration starts at $5 per dose.

There's a two-day minimum, no arrival-day charge for check-in by 11:30 am and no departure-day charge for check-out at 5:30 pm or later. See every detail on our cat boarding rates page.

When Wrentham Families Should Book Early

Condos fill fastest around Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, February and April vacation weeks and the summer stretch from Memorial Day to Labor Day. If your Wrentham household travels on the school calendar, booking early gives you the most choice.
