They took wonderful care of our cats over the new year holiday! They have a very clean, warm and loving facility. We highly recommend them!

Great care, great service, safe and great atmosphere. If you're looking for a great place for you kitty-fur-baby to stay while traveling, Kitty Island is it. They are the absolute best. We usually travel with our kitty, Sport, but we couldn't take her with us to the Grand Canyon. Thank goodness we found Kitty Island. They gave her the best care imaginable. Their kitty cabana layout is the best I've seen. Each kitty has lots of space to hide (if desired), climb, and relax. They also have a great play area with towers and windows for bird and squirrel watching. They also provide updates with photos. read more

This was the best cat boarding experience I've ever had! The owner is a beautiful soul and person who will lovingly care for your cat in such a way I've only experienced at privately owned and operated veterinary clinics from the small town I'm originally from. She's fully book for a reason! I had full confidence that my little guy was well taken care of the entire time he was there. He had enough space and attention, something that's lacking in a typical cat boarding facility. It's immaculately clean and has fun, cat themed decorations. This place is a hidden gem! read more

This was my very first time boarding my cats and I was absolutely riddled with anxiety over it!! Sandy is such a kind woman and it's easy to see that she really loves what she does. She treats the cats like family and she's dedicated to making it a smooth transition for the kitties. Because of this, I felt 100% comfortable leaving my cats with her! She gave me updates and gave them roaming time. She followed their feeding schedule and went above and beyond to keep them safe and happy. Kitty Island is literally a sanctuary for cats and I can't recommend it enough! read more

Sandy and her husband are two of the most good hearted people who you could ever find to pet sit. Sandy is passionate and dedicated to her business. She is very particular on how the cats are cared for and ensures they are fed properly like they are accustomed to at home and that they are comfortable in their condos. She usually gives the kitties a toy mouse and offers treats and grooming for additional fees. The cats each get their free time outside of the condos daily. She appreciates cash payment and offers a discount. You can feel at ease while you're away knowing your cat is in the best hands. read more

Kitty Island is a wonderful family owned business. Sandy and Andy are kind people who love what they do and genuinely care for the cats. The building itself is very nicely kept - always very clean and fresh smelling. The cats are content with their space and are kept clean and fed! I love the decorations - lots of Hello Kitty TVs playing videos of birds!!! So cute!! read more

Our cat is like our baby so we wanted to make sure we found a cat hotel that made us feel like she would be taken care of. Kitty island is the BEST place for a cat to go while you're out of town. They treated her just like she would be treated at home with you. They love on her, keep them on their feeding schedule, play with them etc. I've never felt more comfortable leaving our Pumpkin. She's in the best hands at kitty island! If you're looking for a cat hotel stop what you're doing and call the great people here! read more

I can't say enough great things about Sandy and Kitty Island. I had my two cats stay for what ended up being about three weeks. The facility is warm, welcoming, extremely clean, calm, and has plenty of entertainment for the cats. It is abundantly clear that Sandy genuinely cares about the comfort and well-being of her guests. She is also very knowledgeable about cat behavior, and I felt wholly assured leaving my old man kitty in her care. Lastly, Sandy is excellent at communicating with you and sends updates regularly. I wouldn't take my cats anywhere else! read more

Sandy and her husband are amazing! They take such good care of your animal. My poor boy is easily spooked and so they took precautions for him. They even would sit in his room and spend time with him if he didn't want exploring time. The rooms are always spotless and they take care to follow your instructions for feeding. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Took our boy here for a few years before moving to California - and now we realize how great Kitty Island is. For the same price as putting your cat in a small cage at your vet, he can live a life of comfort while you are traveling. The owners are great and will treat your cat like one of their kids. The kitty condos are luxurious, and the place is quiet and clean. This was our favorite business in Hampton Roads, and our cat loved it too. read more

Kitty Island is an awesome place to board your cats. The "cabanas" are super spacious and my two cats stay in one room with no problem. They're always kept on their feeding schedules and they come home after their stays without being stressed or anxious (and my two guys don't like change). The facility is comfortable, clean, and safe - no worries about any cats being able to get outside. You can tell she really loves all the cats that stay. Rates are very reasonable. Would definitely recommend! read more

This review is long overdue. We've taken our kitties here for the past several years for extended stays (i.e., 2-4 weeks at a time) and cannot recommend Kitty Island enough. A big advantage for us, and as their name implies, they board cats only, meaning there are no barking dogs to set your cat's nerves on edge. After having a couple of bad experiences with other boarding services, we know to do our research on anyplace we're going to leave our pets and Kitty Island passes the test with flying colors. If you want to have the peace of mind of knowing that you've left your kitty with someone who will give them as much attention as you would, do not hesitate to make your reservation here. Kitty Island is a kitty wonderland in that the rooms are spacious, the guests receive daily scheduled time to roam outside of their room, and all litter and diet regimens are adhered to strictly. We are moving and are extremely sad that we'll not have Sandy and Andy to fall back on to care for our kitty any longer. read more

Sandy and Andy are THE BEST! We used Kitty Island for years when we lived in VB, and always went away knowing our cats had care and love and someone there who knew what to do if a medical emergency should arise (unlike leaving the cat in the house alone over the weekend). No dogs- no stress- bird feeders and wildlife to watch out the windows and cool multi-level spacious cabanas. Highest recommendation! My cats loved going to Kitty Island! read more

We took our three cats here based on the other comments from this site and it was definitely worth it. We have two cats who are a year old and an eleven year old who is a bit skittish around others. I was really curious of how he would react and was very happy to see him adapting quite well before we left. Sandy, the woman who runs it with her husband, has been working with cats for at least 20 years, and If I'm not mistaken, had worked in a veternarian office prior to opening Kitty Island more than ten years ago. She treats all of the kitties she keeps as if they were her own babies. Taking lots notes to help learn our babies personalities. She noticed our oldest had a bit of a weepy eye and asked if we were alright if she helped to treat it, explaining that it could have been cause by the stress of knowing something different was about to happen. There are tv's playing movies and lots of room to move around and climb on when it was play time. She observed with our oldest that he was going to be fine by the way he was roaming about the cabana. We got a double room where the three of them could go back and forth with places to hide if they (he) needed it. They were there for a little over a week while we traveled to Japan. While away we set up for them to have chicken dinners at least three days out of the time we we gone. Our younger two definitely enjoyed themselves because they were not as interested to get into their carriers. However one of the girls did make sure to say bye to all of the other kitties who were there. One of the best things I discovered about Kitty Island was the fact it was so peaceful there. This was the only place in my research where it was cats only, which meant no barking dogs to stress our babies even further than what they were. Sandy and her husband are definitely people who truly love kitties and I am grateful they opened such a wonderful place where cats can be themselves. I highly recommend Kitty Island to anyone who isn't able to leave their kitty at home. Definitely worth every penny. read more

Whenever I go out of town. I call Kitty Island to care for my cat Gus. They love cats so much and my cat doesn't want to leave there when I come pick him up. Each cat gets their own roomy "cabana" equipped with litter box, a 2 level shelf one with a privacy curtain if shy, a small chair, food dishes, and a free toy. The decorations are so adorable all island themed. Great customer service! This is a top rated place for your kitty's vacation. read more

I have brought my cat Cassie here a few times now. It's well run and rest assured that your cat will be well cared for.

Best boarding facility for cats in the area! Owner bonds with cats in her care and truly meets their needs - physical and emotional. Facility is exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated to stimulate cats. Each cat has a large condo with a screen door that allows them to see outside at all times or nap behind a curtained area if they prefer. I had surgery and had to board my cat for 3 weeks. She returned home in a mellow, loving mood - not upset and withdrawn like she has when boarded elsewhere. read more

I brought my little guy, Coconut, here in September. He had never been boarded prior to this so I was anxious about how he would do. It was initially only going to be for a few days while my mom had surgery but turned into almost a month after complications. I am SO happy I did my research and took him to Kitty Island. With everything I was going through it was so awesome to have the peace of mind they gave me. Around 2 or 3 weeks into his stay there I was able to go visit him and was again worried he was going to cling to me and I was going to have a hard time leaving... But he was so happy there... at one point he actually left me to go back to bird watching. They took pictures of him for me to bring to my mom in the hospital and even sent her a get well soon card from Coconut. I highly recommend them! read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kitty Island!!! I have 3 cats that I take there on a regular basis throughout the year, as I travel to visit family. Sandy loves cats (obviously!!). I never, ever worry about my beloved furry family when I am gone because Sandy and Andy take the best care of them! They are very careful to treat each cat with such loving care! A friend told me about Kitty Island about 3 years ago. I've had friends take care of the cats before, just to come home to freaked out or agitated cats! They were not taken care of in a manner they are accustomed to. And, that would aggravate me, as well. They get the attention and care I (and they) expect at Kitty Island, and I cannot thank Sandy and Andy enough!!! I've never had any trouble getting through to Sandy, or her calling me back. Very much recommend taking your kitties there!! read more

My two cats love Kitty Island and so do I. I like to take my cat-loving visitors there just to see it because the owners are so nice and the place is absolutely perfect for cats. I never worry about Spot and Fluffinator when they go on vacation there. Kitty Island is the answer to your prayers if you are looking for a really special place where you know they will be well-cared for. read more

We have been loyal customers for several years, boarding our two boys there whenever we go on vacation. We love it, and so do the boys. One of our guys is diabetic, and Sandy gives him his insulin twice a day with no worries. read more

Onyx and I LOVE Kitty Island. Onyx is 21 years old and still follows me around the house. In a lot of ways, she is much more dependent on knowing I'm around. I left her with a pet sitter who came to my home some time ago and she didn't do well at all. Then I found Kitty Island. I think she's as much at home there as she is with me. I came home 6 days later to one happy cat. Thanks Kitty Island for allowing me to go out of town without worrying. read more

Kitty Island is the only place we trust 100% to take care of our cat(s). Over the years th that trust has been earned. No dogs allowed, so much less stress on our feline family members! Our cats have enjoyed their stays and remember it in a positive way when they return, another stress buster for all concerned. We live in Portsmouth and it's definitely worth the drive. Our YoYo is coming up on another Island get- away soon, and we will rest assured that our "baby" is in the best hands. read more

I had never boarded a pet before so I did a ton of research + I'm not from this area. I decided to call to get more info. After speaking with the owner for a short amount of time I felt like I had known her for years! I was so very impressed with the phone call and the website I went ahead and made reservation. My husband and myself did visit the place before leaving our cat there and words cannot describe. It is so clean, very well taken care of and did not reek of cat litter! They have such a cute and entertaining room where the cats have their INDIVIDUAL play time and the cabanas are spacey with their own privacy curtain. I felt so good about leaving my cat there and knew she was in wonderful care. I was at peace and ready to head out on our trip. The owners are SO nice and very easy to get along with. I HIGHLY recommend Kitty Island to all of you cat lover's looking for fabulous feline boarding!! read more
