Cat Boarding in New Orleans That’s the Cat’s Meow

At Pawlins, cat boarding is all about calm, comfort, and curiosity. Our feline guests stay in a dedicated, dog-free space filled with fresh air, cozy bedding, and plenty of quiet. Each private condo is designed to feel clean and secure, so your cat can nap, perch, or explore at their own pace.

Whether your kitty is a seasoned traveler or a first-time guest, we tailor their stay to match their personality. Our goal? A smooth, stress-free experience that leaves them purring.

We Get What Your Cat Needs

Even If They Don’t Say Much!

At Pawlins, your cat’s comfort comes first. Our cat boarding experience was built around what makes kitties feel safe, calm, and content—from quiet, dog-free surroundings to cozy bedding misted with Feliway. Whether your cat loves to perch high, snuggle low, or just watch the world go by, we’ve created a space where they’ll feel right at home.

  • Private, glass-front kitty condos in a completely dog-free zone
  • Optional privacy curtains for extra coziness
  • Multi-level condos available for bonded pairs or curious climbers
  • Daily wellness checks and always-fresh litter box care
  • Dedicated air system—so no dog smells, ever
  • Cat playroom with hammocks, window perches, and scratching pads
  • Optional enrichment: wand play, laser tag, and gentle cuddles
  • All-natural pine litter that’s low on dust and high on freshness

Your Cat’s Private Retreat

Our kitty condos are quiet, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Whether your cat wants to lounge in peace or perch and watch the action, we’ve got a space that feels just right.

Cat’s Meow Condo

$31/night

These private condos feature a comfy sleeping area, a separate potty space, and an elevated shelf for lounging or keeping watch. With calming touches like Feliway spray and a view of the lobby action, it’s the purrfect mix of comfort and quiet.

Sharing with a sibling? A second cat can stay in the same condo for $27/night.

Double-Decker Condo

$62/night

Got a pair of bonded buddies or a cat who loves to climb? Our spacious double-decker condos offer two full levels for stretching, perching, and lounging in style.

Because these condos span the space of two, the rate is $62/night, whether it’s one very lucky kitty or two sharing the suite.

What to Pack for Your Cat’s Stay

We want your cat’s visit to feel calm and comfortable—from the moment you check in to the happy reunion at pickup. A few simple prep steps can go a long way in helping your kitty feel safe and at ease:

Stick with their usual food.

Sudden diet changes can upset sensitive stomachs, so we recommend bringing the food your cat knows best.

  • For stays under 7 nights, please portion meals into labeled Ziplock bags.
  • For longer visits, feel free to pack an airtight container—we’ll portion it for you based on your instructions.
  • Forgot the kibble? No worries! We offer high-quality house food for $3/day per cat.

Medications? No problem.

We’re happy to give most oral medications during your cat’s stay. Just make sure they’re in the original prescription packaging with clear dosing instructions.

Please note: we’re unable to give injections or administer anything that requires protective equipment (PPE).

Bring a little piece of home.

A familiar scent can be incredibly soothing. You’re welcome to bring a small, machine-washable blanket or toy that smells like home—it can help your cat settle in with ease.

We’ll handle the rest.

Every cat guest enjoys stainless steel bowls, soft bedding, and fresh, all-natural pine litter that’s low-dust and naturally deodorizing.

Have questions about what to pack or what’s best for your cat’s stay? Just let us know—we’re always happy to help make things easy for both of you.
