What Our Customers Say

Nothing means more to us than happy kittens and happy families. Here is what our customers have shared about their experience with Happy Paws US.

Stephanie R.

Absolutely amazing experience! ✨ We got our kitten from this cattery and honestly… he’s perfect. Healthy, snuggly, playful, just an absolute sweetheart. From the first day, it was obvious he was loved and well cared for. He’s so social and affectionate, it feels like she was born ready to be part of our family.
The people at the cattery were incredible. Super hands-on, friendly, and clearly passionate about their animals. They didn’t just hand us a kitten, they shared her story, gave us tips, and made sure we felt confident bringing her home.
If you’re looking for a place that truly goes above and beyond, this is it. We left with more than just a kitten, we left with a new family member and total peace of mind

I had a wonderful time here at Happy Paws. The employees were so sweet and helpful. There was a moment I turned around and an employee handed me a cat to hold and that was all she wrote. I fell in love with him and he became apart of our family but the end of our visit. So happy I got to experience what I did here at Happy Paws.

Absolutely in love with our new baby kitten! My husband and I have been searching for a long time now for the perfect new addition to the family and we are so happy we found Happy Paws US! The whole team was very communicative throughout the entire process. Lots of photos and videos were also shared along the process prior to receiving our kitten which was extra reassuring. The kitten passed the vet test with no issues or concerns. He also has a great temperament and personality!
There was a minor inconvenience with the flight nanny, however Alona ensured us throughout the entire time and all was eventually resolved within a timely manner.
Beyond pleased with the overall experience and would highly recommend to others!

I recently adopted a beautiful Ragdoll named Hanna, now known as Luna, from Happy Paws, and I want to share my experience to help others who may be considering adding to their family.
Not long ago, I lost my beloved Ragdoll of 14 years to cancer. The grief was overwhelming. I knew I could never replace her, but I also knew how healing the love of a Ragdoll can be. Their gentle, affectionate nature makes them such special companions.
While searching online, I came across a kitten listed at Happy Paws. Unfortunately, after reaching out I learned she had already been adopted—but they told me they had another Ragdoll available if I was interested in visiting. I was hesitant at first, Hanna was a little older than I had hoped for, but something told me to go take a look.
From the moment I stepped into Happy Paws, I was genuinely impressed. The facility was spotlessly clean, modern, and filled with a sense of warmth and care. They clearly prioritize the health and happiness of their kittens. I was asked to sanitize my hands and wear shoe coverings before entering—just one of the many signs of their commitment to cleanliness and safety.
Even more impressive was the way the kittens were living. They were free-roaming, not kept in cages, and every single one of them was friendly, social, and clearly well-loved. You can tell so much about how animals are treated by how they behave—and these kittens were thriving.
When I first met Hanna, she was standoffish. She kept her distance, and it was clear she wasn’t interested in interacting. I was told she had been passed over by several families for that very reason. That broke my heart. I stayed for a while and spent time playing with the other kittens, quietly letting Hanna adjust to my presence.
By the end of my visit, something clicked. I saw a softness in her, a potential for connection—and I decided to take a chance.
That chance became one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
From the moment I brought her home, Hanna—now Luna—was a completely different cat. She transformed into the most affectionate, loving companion. She follows me from room to room, constantly seeking kisses, cuddles, and closeness. She sleeps in bed with me every night and wakes me up with purrs and snuggles.
She has brought joy back into my life in a way I didn’t think was possible. I’m so grateful I saw the beauty in her when others didn’t. Knowing that I gave her the life she so clearly deserved—and that she returned that love tenfold—has been incredibly healing for me.
Thank you, Happy Paws, for creating such a nurturing, loving environment for your kittens to grow and thrive. And thank you for introducing me to my sweet Luna. She’s made my heart whole again.
I don’t have pictures of the facility, but I hope you enjoy these photos of Luna enjoying her forever home.
