Our Story

Cats Only Bed & Breakfast, Your best choice for cat boarding in the GTA

Cats Only Bed & Breakfast was established in 1996 by Ursula Satelmayer to provide cats with a pleasant, stress-free 'cat'cation while their owners are away.  Recognizing that the presence of dogs in the typical kennel is very stressful for cats, Ursula set out to create an environment designed with a cat's comfort in mind.

Ursula passed away September 2020. Her daughter-in-law and son, Julie and Ron Satelmayer continue to run Cats Only Bed & Breakfast in her honour, and follow her vision of providing exceptional and loving boarding services for cats.
