Just wanted to say thank you again for helping me out on short notice. Im able to keep my apartment and still have my babies with me. It's so awesome to have a place I can rely on to board my pets without stressing out about their welfare. I trust the owners because it shows how they care about the cats and they have great work ethics. Thank you again.

This is THE place if you want an experienced and professional care for your cat while away from home. The care and safety Satomi and Richard provide for your family cat is 2nd to none. They work with you and your individual situations. Their caring attitude is evident from the cleanliness of facility, the e z application process, the hours of availability is by far superior to any cat facility. They are pet friendly professionals with a family style service. You can do no wrong by being a part of the Aloha Cat Hotel ohana!

Aloha Cat Hotel is a fantastic place to entrust your pets for a while. Very clean and accommodating facility. The owner obviously enjoys what she does and takes great care of your cats while they are in her care!

Great place to leave your cat. Satomi and Richard are very welcoming and have flexible pick up and drop off hours. really It is obvious that care very much about cats. Satomi sent me a video daily to keep me updated. The place is clean and well organized. There is no smell as they clean the enclosures and litter boxes twice a day. She encourages bringing items that will make your cat happy. Will definitely leave our fur baby here when we travel again this fall.

They took such good care of my cat! It was his first time staying away from home and I was worried he wouldn’t do well, so we toured Aloha Cat Hotel ahead of choosing them. We had a good feeling from the moment we walked in. The facility is clean and has a warm, welcoming feel to it. Most importantly, we could just tell that the cats love the owner Satomi. Sure enough, my cat was no different. We would board him here again in the future!

Dear Satomi, We can’t thank you and Richard enough for taking care of Chi! She was so scared at first, as expected, but with your loving and kind heart, you made her feel so comfortable. And with the frequent videos, you helped to reassure us that Chi was okay. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, a video is worth 10,000! It showed how Chi progressed and got more comfortable each day. We can see just how much you care about cats and that you are helping so many cat parents, like us, who need to board our cats when we travel. You not only provide a clean, safe and nice place to stay, but it is your genuine love, kindness and caring for cats that makes you special. See you for our next trip. Thank you again very much! Sincerely, The Nishi Ohana

So glad we gave Aloha Cat Hotel a try for a recent 2-week trip. Satomi and Richard are clearly devoted to cats and took good care of our kitty. We received a video of our kitty about every other day, at no extra cost, which we very much appreciated. The rooms for the cats are well-designed and allow for movement and verticality. Communication with Satomi and Richard was good before and during our trip and their pricing is reasonable. Highly recommend!
