Our Inn's Lodging Services

Turbo shows how much space he has in a suite.

Turbo is enjoying the comfort of one of our suites. All of them are 3 feet wide by about 4.5 feet deep and about 6 feet high. Vertical space matters just as much to cats as the floor space.

This suite has been personalized to match his love of climbing and heights. The lower shelf includes a cot for a view and a cozy place to hang out. A cave style bed has been placed on the top shelf to allow a comfortable sleeping area at a height he prefers, and a scratching toy for his claw health.

The floor of the suite comfortably fits a jumbo litter box, well away from his food and water bowls.

Every suite is customizable. Tell us about your cat's preferences and we'll set things up just right.

Turbo and Rainbow show how two big Maine coon cats can share a suite and there's plenty of room for more.

A calm, caring home away from home, just for cats.

Trilling Cat is a feline-exclusive inn and spa where your cat's comfort, safety, and stress levels come first. Every detail, from suite design to daily care, is tailored to the way cats actually think and feel.

No dogs. No unfamiliar smells. No stress.

Cats are hardwired to scan their environment for predators. In a mixed-species facility, that instinct never shuts off. At Trilling Cat, your cat will only ever hear, see, and smell other cats, so they can relax and actually enjoy their stay.

Owner Ellen's veterinary training as a Cat Friendly Veterinary Professional and Elite Fear Free Certified Professional means our team knows how to read feline body language, reduce anxiety with gentle handling, and create an environment where your cat feels safe.

Custom Suites

Our modular suite design fits kittens to seniors. Perching shelves, ramps, hiding spots, age-appropriate litter boxes, and toys are chosen for your cat's specific needs. We have multiple styles of beds, different types of toys, and a variety of hiding spots. We do our best to make your cat feel at home.

Families Stay Together

Cats from the same household can share a suite, with multiple litter boxes and feeding stations as needed. All quality time is with family members only. If behavior becomes a concern, we reserve the right to separate cats for their wellbeing.

Thoughtful Mealtimes

Bowls to prevent whisker fatigue, higher-sided options for kibble grazers, and non-skid water bowls are all placed to cater to cats' instinctive preferences.

Quality Time On Their Terms

Each guest receives daily one-on-one time with a team member, whether that means exploring the play area, fun with the toys of their choice, cuddles, or just a treat in their suite. We follow your cat's lead.


Prices are per night and include all suite cleaning, feedings, quality time, and administering oral medication up to two times daily. If your cat needs non-oral medication or oral medication more than twice daily, please ask for a price quote.

First cat in suite: $40 per night
Second cat in same suite: additional $15 per night
Third cat in same suite: additional $12 per night
