About Us
Learn more about Meeow Chicago, the city’s first feline-exclusive boarding facility, where we offer luxury accommodations and exceptional care for your cat.
Our Story
Established in 2010, Meeow Chicago began in the West Town neighborhood with a simple vision: to create a boarding and grooming facility exclusively for felines. We saw the need for a space designed specifically for cats, and in the spirit of “The Year of the Cat,” Meeow Chicago was born.
In October 2013, we relocated to the Lincoln Park neighborhood and opened a new, state-of-the-art, feline-only facility. Designed with every cat’s comfort and safety in mind, this location set a new standard in luxury cat boarding and grooming.
When the Covid-19 pandemic brought new challenges, we responded by launching our mobile grooming spa. This allowed us to provide safe, convenient grooming services right at our clients’ doorsteps. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and SPAMEEOW! quickly became Chicago’s premier mobile cat grooming service.
After 10 successful years in Lincoln Park, we are proud to announce the opening of our newest location near O’Hare. These new accommodations offer a luxurious experience—fit for Egyptian Kitties—with personalized attention tailored to each cat’s individual needs.
Today, Meeow Chicago remains the city’s only exclusive cat boarding provider and the only mobile cat grooming service in town. Our commitment to top-tier feline care continues, and we look forward to serving Chicago’s cats for years to come.
