Its a Celebration, Kittens!
Today marks our 1 year anniversary here at The Happy Cat Hotel, where every cat can be a HAPPY CAT! We can’t believe how time flies! Just 1 year ago today we were scrambling like ants to get the final preparations complete for our 6PM grand opening. Now, its just a nice quiet day full of fur, purrs, and… the smell of tuna?
We want to thank everyone who believed in the vision and helped get our project on wheels, from support in concept, to design and build, to spreading the word. We would not be here without you all. A special thanks to Mom and Dad Raimo for all of their help and support, both emotionally and physically. Dr. Mascola thank you for your consultation throughout the process and beyond! Friends and family from hometown, friends from the Windsor Jaycees, friends from the Pet Care Professionals group, our wonderful staff (who are friends as well), and friends who just GET cats – thank you too!
A luxury hotel just for cats? In Windsor, CT of all places? Well if that’s not reason to believe that you can do anything you set your mind to, we don’t know what is. Here’s a trip down memory lane and the HAPPY CAT journey that began in the Spring of 2014.

Anyone have a dust buster?

That’s better
