A Home Away from Home.
When you board at Evergreen Cat Lodge, your cat will stay in one of our 32 suites and will be lovingly cared for by Susan & Mike Nocket, owners of the Lodge. The lodge was formerly the Inn at Soda Creek Bed & Breakfast. After extensive remodeling, the inn has been converted into a luxurious 3,800 sq.ft. cat lodge. Denver area cat lovers can rest easy knowing their pets will stay in first-class accommodations and receive top notch care at Evergreen Cat Lodge - Denver's premier cat boarding facility.
Each cat suite is an individual room which is tastefully decorated to resemble a home environment. Most suites have exterior windows which allow our feline guests to enjoy views of the 9-acre estate and its abundant wildlife. When not sightseeing, our guests may be found curled up on a home-made afghan in front of an electric fireplace. With the owners living on site and supported by managers Jenny and Krystyna, your cat will receive a level of attention and pampering that few facilities can match. The entry to each suite is fitted with a full-length glass door to make it easy to check up on our guests without disturbing them. While each of our cat suites is unique, you can rest easy knowing that your cherished pets are staying in a safe and caring environment. Just don't be too surprised if when you come to pick them up, they're in no hurry to return home. Cats like to stretch their vacations too!
At Evergreen Cat Lodge, we want to ensure that our guest accommodations are not only comfortable, but that they are healthy for all of our boarders. That's why our two heating and ventilation systems have been equipped with state-of-the-art air filtration and purification systems. We've even ensured an odor-free facility by housing litter boxes in custom made enclosures equipped with continuous exhaust ventilation. Our suites are constructed and furnished with materials that lend themselves to thorough cleaning and disinfecting. Plus, for its own health and safety, your cat will remain in its own suite and will not come into physical contact with any other boarders. Every single detail of the lodge has been meticulously and carefully picked out and selected for your cat’s best boarding experience. We also try to provide care as close to their home routine as possible to provide a smooth transition. We clean litter twice a day and follow your feeding instructions up to 3 times a day. We make a point to give a little extra attention to new arrivals to monitor their acclimation to their new surrounds. We love all cats and welcome special needs guests that may need some extra care.
We take the outmost pride in our facility and boarding services. It's been our experience that this style of cat boarding is well tolerated by even the most shy and timid of cats. We do our best to ensure that each and every boarding experience is a positive one for both pet and owner. We hope to see you soon at Denver's premier cat-only boarding facility!
Our Philosophy
At Evergreen Cat Lodge, we believe in going the extra mile to ensure that your feline companions receive the very best care available. That starts with our all-suites accommodations. We've heard all of the rationalizations about why it's OK to board cats in cages or cat condos (which are really just multi-level cages). We don't agree! "Cats don't need a lot of space since they exercise isometrically". "Cats like small spaces". "Cats just want to go off to a corner and be left alone". Nonsense! Cats need room to be happy and cats don't like change - it's stressful. Cages, even cat condos, don't give cats enough room and they sure represent a stressful change from what they're used to at home.
Stress is a serious issue for cats. It can often make them sick. Not just nervous - sick! Physiological changes occur in cats who are experiencing stress. This can alter the functioning of their digestive tract and can lower their resistance to disease. A healthy environment for cats needs to be a low stress environment. Putting a cat in a cage for a week or more with barking dogs nearby and nothing to do is not a low stress environment. Some may feel that we have gone slightly overboard in providing roomy boarding suites decorated with leather chairs and fireplaces, but we believe that by creating a home-like environment we are providing a healthy environment. We're sure your cats will agree!
As much as we strive to ensure that the boarding experience is pleasant for our guests, we also believe it should be a positive experience for the pet's owners. We don't want our clients to feel like they are being nickeled-and-dimed for every service add-on. That's why, at Evergreen Cat Lodge, we don't charge for nail clipping, casual brushing, premium cat food, or administering one medication or food supplement daily (small charge for each additional). We even include a web camera in every VIP Suite so you can view live video of your cat while you're traveling (web cameras can be added to Deluxe and Economy rooms for an additional charge). We want our clients to feel that boarding at Evergreen Cat Lodge is a unique experience for pet owners too! Please feel free to call and arrange a tour of Denver's premier cat-only boarding facility.
