Hi, I’m Jenney – a lifelong cat lover and caregiver offering a safe, loving, and exclusive home-away-from-home for your feline & small animal family members in Walnut Creek & the surrounding East Bay.

Prefer care at home? I also offer in-home pet sitting and dog walking for local clients.

Welcome to Walnut Creek’s Premium Cat & Small Animal-Only Boarding Experience

As a cat parent myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your beloved kitty or small animal in someone else’s care. That’s why I offer private, single-household boarding in a cozy, calm, and cat-focused environment, free of dogs or other unfamiliar animals.

What Makes Cuddles Not Cages Unique?

 

🐾 Private Suites – One Household Per Room

Each suite is fully private and reserved for one household at a time, so your cat can relax without unfamiliar animals nearby.

 

🐾 Designed for Feline Comfort

Natural light, vertical climbing space, soft lounging areas, birdwatching views, and quiet surroundings designed to reduce stress and support natural behaviors.

 

🐾 Deep Cleaning Between Guests

To keep the space safe, calm, and scent-neutral for every visitor, I deep clean and sanitize between stays using REScue brand veterinary disinfectant, steam, and freshly laundered bedding.

🐾 Personalized Daily Care

Play sessions, enrichment, brushing (if desired), medication administration, and one-on-one time tailored to your cat’s temperament.

 

🐾 Photo & Video Updates

I know how hard it is to be away. That’s why I send frequent photo and video updates!

How it Works

Booking a stay is simple—and designed with your cat’s comfort in mind.

Reach out with your desired dates and I’ll confirm if I have space for your cat(s). Minimum stay is 2 days (48 hours).

SOME HAPPY CLIENTS

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I’ve been devoted to feline care for over 25 years, including caring for six of my own beloved cats over the years. Since launching my boarding service in 2020, I’ve had the joy of caring for hundreds of cats across all temperaments. My experience also includes:

🐾 Volunteering at Joybound (formerly ARF), Cat Town, and the SPCA
🐾 Working at The Cat Hospital in Campbell
🐾 Fostering feral and shy cats into loving companions

I specialize in reading feline body language and creating a space where your cat can thrive. Whether they need extra space, a place to hide, pets, or play, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe and loved.
