Our Facility
GRAND OPENING DECEMBER 1, 2020
We are a CAT ONLY boarding and grooming facility located at the foot of the mountains in beautiful Port Alberni, BC. We do have limited dog boarding, please contact us for more information.
We provide service for Port Alberni, and all communities from Campbell River to Duncan.
Our facility consists of 18 large walk in suites to fit your individual Kitty's needs while staying with us.
We strive to keep your feline friend(s) as comfortable as possible whether boarding with us or having a grooming spa day!.
Our staff will work with you to create a routine that is specific to each feline friend's individual needs. We want to make Mountain View Kitty Cottage your Cat's Home Away From Home.
We take your Cat's health and safety into a great account. We have installed a "Negative Pressure Room System" to prevent cross contamination with other guests and have also added a blue UV light system to kill any air born pathogen that could be present. This is only one of the many distinctions we have designed with your Cat's ultimate health in mind while staying with us.
If you would like to book a meet and greet, please contact us for an appointment.
In Phase 2: We will be creating outdoor living space to further enrich your Cat's stay here at our Cottage. We have one 8 x 12 enclosed run for kitties needing some outside time.
Please follow us on Facebook to see our build of Mountain View Kitty Cottage & Pet Services.
Mountain View Kitty Cottage was an idea and dream for over 10 years. In 2018 that dream became the adventure and reality for owners, Sheena and her husband Wayne.
Hours of planning, and research went into the process of building and producing an environment that would be safe, naturally welcoming and engaging to our feline guests and the people who love them.
About Us
YOUR PET, OUR PASSION & PROFESSION
Meet The CARE TECHICIAN
Hello, I'm Sheena, owner and operator of Mountain View Kitty Cottage & Pet Services.
I've been caring for animals and many people's Fur Babies for over 27 years. I have done 15 years+ pet sitting in clients homes and working farms, then later moved into veterinary medicine.
In 2006 I graduated from Olds College with a diploma in Animal Health Technology and have been working as a Registered Veterinary Technician for the past 20 years+.
I have a passion for animal behavior, Fear Free practices/methods, biological nutrition for cats and dogs and practice positive reinforcement behavior training with all my Fur Babies ( 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 horses, 6 ducks, 17 hens and one rooster!).
I have had many people ask why I have such a passion and devotion when it comes to caring for other peoples' Fur Families and the answer is so simple. My whole life I have had the amazing opportunity to build unique lifelong bonds with many different species of animals. I understand the importance of the human/animal bond and the anxiety of being separated from them. I want to give piece of mind to you that your Feline Family member(s) are being taking care of and having both physical and emotional needs met while in our care. We have a lot of clients request daily photos and videos be sent to them through email and Facebook. We are happy to offer this service to help ease that separation period for however long it maybe. If you have any other requests, Please Ask, we will try hard to make it happen!
