Cat Cafes in Kirkland, Washington

Kirkland, Washington

The Whole Cat and Kaboodle is a comprehensive cat care center founded by Nancy Howard, driven by her lifelong passion for feline welfare. Beginning with rescue work over 25 years ago, Nancy established The Sanctuary at Hidden Creek Ranch in 2000, a 5000 sq ft outdoor haven for over 120 unadoptable cats. In 2012, she turned her passion into a profession, opening the first store in 2013 in a modest 600 sq ft space. Offering grooming, boarding, nutrition advice, behavior modification, and adoptions, the business quickly expanded, moving to a 1000 sq ft location by 2015 and later to its current site in 2017. This larger space introduced a cat lounge and adoption center, facilitating around 300 adoptions yearly, with a focus on rehabilitating hard-to-place cats. Today, it stands as a unique state resource, blending expert care, holistic nutrition, and compassion to enhance the lives of cats and support their owners.
