What Makes Us Different?
Our Story
Crazy Cat Lady Cat Hotel and Spa began with a passion for cats and a desire to create a better grooming experience. After seeing how stressed cats could become in noisy, dog-filled environments, we set out to create a space just for them—calm, clean, and designed with feline comfort in mind.
Since opening in 2023, we’ve built a loyal following and grown into something more than just a grooming space—we’ve become a trusted part of the cat community.
Our
Founder
Wendy Short is an Indigenous entrepreneur and lifelong cat lover with a deep personal and professional connection to feline care. As a breeder of Maine Coon cats, she brings hands-on experience with grooming, handling, and understanding the unique needs of long-haired and high-maintenance breeds.
Her passion for cats is reflected in her ongoing professional development, including certification from the Academy for Animal Grooming and near-completion of the Certified Feline Master Groomer designation through the National Cat Groomers Institute.
Her lived experience, cultural values of care and respect, and commitment to providing safe, compassionate, and expert services make her exceptionally well-suited to operate a business focused solely on feline wellness.
