Cool for Cats

Holiday Hotel for Cats

Winston? He’s an indoor kitty, thanks very much. No traffic dodging or bloody turf wars for your precious little fuzz muffin.

And yet. More than once you’ve caught him watching the Discovery Channel intently — wondering, no doubt, what pleasures lie beyond his climate-controlled, upholstered universe.

Next time you go out of town drop him at the Holiday Hotel for Cats. More resort than boarding kennel, the feline-only facility features an unusual open-air courtyard, where guests can mingle with others or just laze about in the sun. There are plenty of things to hide under or climb on, and discreet caging prevents unwanted visitors or escapes. At night they’re returned to their spacious kitty condos, which overlook the courtyard. Each boarder is given the five-star royal treatment, and special needs are accommodated. So Winston will return to you happy, stress-free, and full of exciting tales from the great outdoors.

Well. Comparatively speaking.

Holiday Hotel for Cats, 2327 Cotner Avenue, between Sepulveda Boulevard and the 405 (310-479-1440).
