Meet Teresa, the heart behind The Cat’s Pajamas Pet Boarding. For her, caring for cats is more than just a business, it’s a lifelong passion. Over the past eight years, she has volunteered with the Culpeper Humane Society and MAD Cats, gaining invaluable experience with cats of all temperaments, from playful kittens to reserved semi-ferals. Each one, she says, has left a unique paw-print on her heart.
The inspiration for The Cat’s Pajamas first came when a friend asked Teresa to look after her cats during a move. She quickly realized that creating a boarding business would allow her to combine her volunteer experience with personalized, stress-free pet care. The business would also allow Teresa to continue her support of local rescue work.
Her services include pet wellness visits with fresh food and water, litter box care, medication as needed, and of course, plenty of playtime, cuddles, and daily photo updates. Teresa also offers a pet taxi service, making trips to the vet or groomers easy and worry-free.
For cats who need a home away from home, she welcomes them to her cozy Meow Manor. This dedicated boarding space featuring cat trees, an exercise wheel, interactive toys, birdwatching windows, and even a TV with animal shows for curious viewers. Guests begin in the “kitten room” before exploring more of the home, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
What sets Teresa apart is not just her services, but her heart. She is experienced in administering medications (oral, topical, or injectable) and has a deep understanding of feline body language, giving her the ability to connect with even the shyest cats. Every pet in her care is treated like family, and to give back, she donates a portion of her profits to local rescue groups. Teresa shares, “I’ve never met a cat that I didn’t love!”
Whether you’re planning a trip, need help with appointments, or simply want extra support for your cat at home, The Cat’s Pajamas Pet Boarding offers peace of mind and a whole lot of love.
