Ahoy, dear readers and feline fanatics! As the sun shines brighter and the flowers begin to bloom, it's time for a little Captain Kitt's spring update! Here's a rundown of what's happening at our cat-tastic kennel in Spring 2023!



📆 2023-2024 Vacation Schedule: Time for a Cat Nap! 🏖️


We're all about that work-life balance, and even the Captain needs some shore leave now and then! Our office will be closed during the following vacation periods


  • *Long-term boarders (20+ days) get a special exemption!


  • Oct 2023: 10/3 - 10/9

🎉 Closed/Cat-Approved Holidays 🎉

Even on these purr-fect days, someone will be here tending to our fabulous feline guests (weekends/holidays included):


  • Good Friday (4/7/23)
  • Memorial Day (5/29/23)

When we say "closed," rest assured that our furry guests are still receiving top-notch care. As a small family business, downtime is crucial for us to continue providing our personalized services. We're absolutely firm on our days/times to prevent chaos & burnout (18 years and counting!). Thank you for understanding and respecting our family time! If our hours don't work for you, we're happy to coordinate with a friend or relative for pick-ups.



👩‍💼 Wanted: Part-Time Cat Whisperer! 🐱

Are you or someone you know experienced with cat care, responsible, detail-oriented, and kind? We're looking to add a new crew member to the Captain Kitt's family for either AM or PM shifts. If you're over 18 and fully vaccinated for tetanus, COVID-19, and the flu, give us a call at 203-804-1440!



⏰ A Peek Into Our Day-to-Day ⏰

Clients frequently ask what we do in our off hours. Balancing work and life is key to keeping our cat haven going strong. Our crew of three wonderful women helps us maintain our sanity and provide top-notch care for our feline friends.  I have a monthly book club (more gab & wine than book talk)... I'm an avid reader & enjoy novels as well as non-fiction books on Quantum Theory & Greek philosophy. My true passion (other than cats & Tim) is gardening & all things of the natural world. I'd love to have a chicken coop & Tim unwinds with his overseas friends on X-box Live & spending time coming up with new slap-stick for our 1yr old grandson, who ADORES Tims antics & roars with laughter. We are both movie buffs and will pretty much watch anything that's not in the romance genre. We live a simple, fulfilling life & love the choices we've made that have led us here.


💕 Thank You, Cat Parents! 💕

A huge shoutout to our clients who chose to pay their balance via cash, check, or Venmo! Thanks to you, we've kept credit card processing fees to a minimum, offsetting the rising costs of overhead and supplies. Your support keeps Captain Kitt's sailing smoothly!


So, there you have it – our Spring 2023 updates and notes! We're looking forward to another fantastic season with your feline family members, and we appreciate your continued support. Cheers to many more years of kitty cuddles and purr-fection! 🐾
