Overview

Purradise Feline Boarding is a cats-only boarding facility in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Housed inside a quaint and comfortable converted home, the facility provides relaxing accommodations for your feline friend. In addition to cozy condos, your cat will have access to a large sunroom for exercise at least three times per day. They can run, play or lie on one of many towers or beds while watching the view outside a large, window-enclosed space.

Our staff is compassionate, friendly and trained in feline care and behavior. Our years of experience in animal sheltering gives us the perfect background to anticipate and accommodate your companion’s wants and needs. We are able to administer certain medications, special dietary needs and other requirements your cat may have. (Please call us to discuss any special needs your cat may have before booking your stay.)

We boarded our cat, Tigger, at Purradise for nearly a month while we were away. He had never been boarded before. We always had someone come to our house each day, but Tigger is nearly 17 now and has some health issues, so I worried about him having minimal contact for so long. I am thrilled to say that he thrived at Purradise. Best decision ever!

Feline Accommodations

Our standard feline condos are a three-cube unit, allowing your cat to spread out within their space. These condos measure 7 feet x 2 feet. Each unit is set up with a cozy bed, blankets and toys, in addition to essentials. Calming aids, such as Feliway, can be used to help your cat relax.

We also offer condos for cats with mobility issues. These one-level condos measure 5 ½ feet x 2 ½ feet, and are set up with the same comforts as our standard condos.
