At Casey's Place
Visiting Cats Enjoy:

  • Their own, private, 10 X 12 foot room - about the size of a bedroom in many homes.
  • Each room is furnished with a window and window seat and a piece of furniture - either a loveseat or chair, two rooms even have bunk beds!
  • Each room has its own cat tree, 6 ft. or higher.
  • The cats in each room receive visits from staff several times every day.  The visits are to spend time talking, playing and sitting with the cats as well as to do care and cleaning routines.
  • No exposure to dogs - dogs are not allowed.
  • No exposure to cats from other families.
  • Places to hide when they need a little alone time.
  • Places to climb, vertical enhancement, for cats who feel better when they're above everything.
  • No need for a "playroom" in such big rooms, no need to leave the security of their room once their owner places them there.
  • There are no cages, "condos" or closet-sized "rooms" at Casey's Place.
  • Courtesy empty cardboard box service.  Whenever Casey's Place receives a package delivery the emptied box is turned over to whichever visiting cats enjoy playing in them.
  • Owners are encouraged to bring anything from home that will help their cat be comfortable - see "What to Pack For Kitty's Visit" below.
  • Each cat's personal routine at home is followed as closely as possible.
  • Whatever each cat eats at home will be provided (except for prescription or homemade diets).  Cats will not have to eat something new that might upset their digestion.
  • Sophisticated air cleaning and air exchange system.
  • Air exchange unit pulls air from each room, forces that air outside and fresh air is brought in and distributed to each room.  Air is exchanged in each room several times per hour.
  • Electronic air cleaner.
  • Air is filtered in 3 places - at the return air duct in each room and hepa filters on the air exchange and air cleaning units.
  • Casey's Place is directly next to the home of the owner - someone is always on site, day and night.
  • Located in the quiet country of northeast Anoka County with a never-ending parade of wildlife to watch.

What To Pack For Kitty's Visit
Phoebe 2009Everybody sleeps better in their own bed
​When your cat comes to Casey's Place for a visit we will provide the basic necessities of life - food, water, litter and litter box, furniture to play/nap/sit on, a window to keep all those birds outside in line from, a spot of sun to sit in on sunny days, and some human company.


​What your cat would really like is reminders of home.  Look at it from your cat's point of view - he/she is sitting around having an ordinary day at home and suddenly is whisked away to someplace new.  They don't know what's going on or why they have suddenly lost their home and everything and everybody they know and love.  It helps the cats if they have items here they are familiar with.  For example, your cat's favorite toys or bed, or items their humans have been using such as a tee shirt or pillowcase.  Please don't wash these items before bringing them, cats are very scent oriented, what they like about these items is that they smell like home, if you wash them they will lose that smell.  These items are always favorites of the cats.
