“I met my first ‘resident cat’ while vacationing at a resort in Florida,” Hall recalled. “Petting her, if only for a few minutes, really helped fill the void of leaving my cat at home while I was away.”
“Having observed firsthand the interaction between guests and resident cats, I knew there were other leisure and business travelers who would prefer to stay at a property where they can pet, talk to, and occasionally cuddle someone else’s feline in order to help reduce the withdrawal pangs and fill the void of leaving their own cat companion when traveling,” Hall said.
With 75.6 million cats as pets in the United States, this directory is expected to be a helpful and sought-after resource for traveling cat lovers. Spending time at a property with a resident cat also is a refreshing change of pace for cat fanciers everywhere who, for whatever reason, can’t have or don’t want their own pet, but would love to spend some quality time with a cat when they’re away from home. It also makes the “purr-fect” gift.
Resident cats are a win-win-win for the lodging properties, their guests, and of course, the cats. Bed & breakfasts, country inns, and hotels with resident cats seem cozier and more home-like, which can be a welcome change for travelers who spend several nights away from home and their loved ones.
And these cats, many of which were former strays or shelter cats, receive the attention and affection of property owners and employees, not to mention the often unsolicited, but not unwanted, belly, chin, and head rubs from guests.
If you can’t be with the cat you love, stay at a “purr-fect place” and love the cat you’re with!
