ABOUT
Welcome to Little Lion House, a boutique cattery in the heart of Placerville.
Hello, my name is Cristine, and I’m the founder and operator of Little Lion House, where we specialize in providing a premium, luxury boarding experience designed to make every cat feel like royalty. I was inspired to create Little Lion House after seeing that many pet owners were seeking an alternative to traditional kennels—one that offers more personalized, attentive care. My mission is to create an environment where each cat feels genuinely loved and cared for, as if they were part of our own family. As I like to say, “pets are people too!”
At Little Lion House, we offer a serene yet social atmosphere tailored to your cat’s comfort and well-being. Our space is meticulously cleaned daily, and we pride ourselves on delivering outstanding care in a setting that’s both cozy and stress-free. We've designed a custom environment featuring soft muslin linens, engaging toys, elevated cat walks, and enriching indoor and outdoor experiences. Most of our cat condos include windows, and we’re excited to be adding enclosed outdoor access very soon!
Little Lion House is a true family endeavor. I’m joined by my husband, Tim, and our son, James—we all share a deep love for animals. When we’re not caring for our feline guests, we’re often working on our historic 100+ year-old property or enjoying the beautiful community we call home. From day trips to nearby wineries and exploring local lakes and rivers to strolling our charming Main Street, we feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a welcoming and vibrant area.
We can’t wait to welcome you and your little lions to the Little Lion House family!
