Purrvana — Attraction in Los Angeles

Purrvana sets the standard for cat boarding in LA. My cats have boarded before at a handful of places in the LA area, but the service provided at Purrvana was exceptional. They are very thoughtful about every step of the process from drop off to pick up, and at the end of my cats' stay, it didn't seem like they wanted to leave! Purrvana provides a 24/7 live feed of the cats' suite (perfect for helicopter cat parents), and the camera can be moved and adjusted so you can see the entire suite (and maybe even catch a glimpse of your cats when they are roaming around during group play). They send a detailed daily update along with photos and you can see that the cats are well taken care of. They are "cat people" who understand cats and cat people, and really cater to your cats' individual personalities. One of my cats is more shy than the other and doesn't play as nicely with other cats, but they showered him with human affection and let his sister do most of the socializing with the other felines. They go at each individual cats' pace and really take care to learn their personalities, even before the boarding starts (as a part of the process you fill out a survey about your cats' habits and personalities). I hate leaving my cats when I travel but I feel reassured that a wonderful place like Purrvana exists where they can have fun and be taken care of as well as (if not better than) I can take care of them myself.

We recently boarded Skye and Kona again at Purrvana while we were abroad for the holidays. Just a day after we returned and picked them up from Purrvana, we lost our home to the Palisades Fire. When evacuating we were afraid of where we could take our beloved cats and Purrvana immediately came to mind. Matt and Keith picked up the phone and agreed to take Skye and Kona in immediately while we searched for housing that would accommodate cats. Knowing that they were safe and well taken care of by Patti (who was exceptionally kind to us) and the entire Purrvana team meant the world to us during our time of need. This is a business that leads with their hearts first, and we are so deeply grateful for the kindness, empathy and sense of peace they extended to us during...

I had a lot of anxiety prior to boarding my cat, but my experience with Purrvana was absolutely exceptional. I just picked up my cat yesterday from Purrvana and I cannot express how relieved and happy I was to find a trustworthy (and very clean!) cat boarding facility. Every step of the way I felt comfortable and at ease. The owners, Matt and Keith, were super communicative and took such great care of my baby.

Purrvana really cares about the health and safety of all the kitty guests, making sure that they are up to date on their vaccinations and doing a proper flea check and introductory meeting with each cat upon arrival. If your cat has negative FIV and FeLV test results within the last year they can interact with the others. Unfortunately, mine wasn’t up to date on the test for this trip, but was still able to interact with the other cats through the glass doors and loved it! Will have him all ready for group play next time 😊

Each cat suite has a live video streaming capability so you can watch your baby at all times when they are in the suite, which really made me feel at ease. I was able to bring in his donut bed and blankie, and a few toys to help him feel a sense of home. The Purrvana team was amazing with communication, sending photos and status updates throughout the day. It was so nice seeing my boy interacting with others through the glass, playing with feather toys, napping in the cabanas, and chatting with the birds on the window perch.

Overall, I am incredibly happy with my Purrvana experience, and definitely recommend if you are in search of a luxury cat boarding facility that goes the extra mile to provide an outstanding stay for your cat while...

I boarded my 2yo cat Burney here over President's Day weekend for 3 nights, and I already know I'll be back again!

Matt and Keith were wonderful to work with, super flexible and very accommodating of slightly more complicated instructions for my cat. My pickup and dropoff time ended up being changed last minute due to me running late and I never felt as though I had inconvenienced them or that my message to them was anything more than a simple update, which in turn made me feel more comfortable and confident in my cat's safety at their facilities.

Burney had a blast! I had the ability to see him any time I wanted in his spacious suite with his toys from home using an app on my phone. When I wasn't able to check in on him for a long period of time, Matt and Keith were very accommodating and texted updates to one of my relatives as well as to me. In addition, the app allowed me to view recorded clips of how my cat was doing during the times I couldn't actively check in on him. Burney is very active and needs at least 1 hour of playtime a day along with attention and pets, and it seemed clear to me that he received that and more. He also was so content (not stressed at all) and didn't seem upset at all when I came back to pick him up-- in fact, he seemed like he didn't want to leave!

I had a great experience with Purrvana and definitely am planning on boarding Burney here again in...
