Thoughtful care in a calm, cat-friendly home
No condos, no kennels, no clever names for cages. Just a quiet, climate-controlled home near the Rideau Canal where every nap, meal, and mood gets noticed.
Cage-free. Full stop.
Your cat roams a whole cat-proofed home: sunny windows, soft beds, cozy corners.
Photos, without asking
Sunbeam naps, dinner reviews, judgmental stares, all added to your cat's private album through the day. Cats pose on their own schedule; look in whenever you miss them.
Central A/C comfort
Cool through Ottawa heat waves, toasty all winter. No stuffy rooms, ever.
A tiny guest list
We host only a few cats at a time, so your cat is a guest, never a number.

Meet your cat's hosts: Abdul & Sumaiah
We're Abdul and Sumaiah, and it started with one spoiled cat and a stack of eye-watering quotes. The first time we needed a sitter for our own cat, the prices were sky-high, and updates weren't a given. You had to chase people for a single photo. That felt backwards.
So we opened our home instead, with rules we'd want as customers: an honest day rate, a guest list that stays tiny, and photos sent without being asked: proof, not promises.
- We learn every routine, quirk, and comfort food before drop-off
- Photos and videos, straight to your private gallery

Your cat stays in our home. You drive to us
Meow Homez is a single cage-free home at 169 Lees Ave. We're not a chain, and we don't sit in your house. Cats stay with us, which is what keeps the guest list tiny. Most of Ottawa is a short drive away.

Book Your Cat's StayThe questions every good cat parent asks
Is my cat actually safe with you?
Yes. It's the whole point of our model. Our home is fully cat-proofed and we host only a few guests at a time, so your cat is never unsupervised in a crowd.
Will I get photos during the stay?
Yes, free and without you asking. Sunbeam naps, dinner reviews, judgmental stares: when your cat gives us a moment worth sharing, it lands on your phone. Cats are moody artists: some days it's a full photoshoot, some days one perfect yawn, but you'll always know they're doing fine.
How much does it cost?
Standard boarding is $30/day all-inclusive (or $25/day when you bring your own food & litter), with 30% off your second cat. Member Passes drop it to as low as $17/day. See full pricing →
Can I book same-day?
Usually, yes. Because our guest list stays small, spots open up often. Call (613) 900-3934 and we'll confirm within the hour.
