About MeowMANOR
At MeowMANOR, our mission is simple: provide a safe, clean, enriching, and truly cat-centered boarding experience. We believe every feline deserves a calm, stress-free environment staffed by people who genuinely love and understand cats. From our high standards of cleanliness to our carefully designed amenities, MeowMANOR was built to give cat parents peace of mind and give our furry guests a second home they can enjoy.
Meet the Owner - Kara Roundy
"I believe a big business starts small."​
How it Started
I was born and raised in Arkansas, but I’ve called the Hampton Roads area home for the last 10 years. During that time, I met Angela Lang, who originally opened MeowMANOR in 2015. I had the joy of watching her open the doors and grow this amazing business.
​
I officially joined the MeowMANOR team in 2018, and today, I’m honored to continue its legacy as the new owner.
Why MeowMANOR Was Created
The idea behind MeowMANOR started with a simple but important realization: cat boarding options just weren’t good enough. Facilities were often poorly maintained, poorly ventilated, or lacked cat-specific amenities. We knew our feline friends deserved better.
MeowMANOR was designed from day one with high standards, elevated expectations, and true cat-first care in mind.
My Vision for the Future
I love this business, and I love every Cat-Guest and pet parent who walks through our doors. My goal is to uphold the standards that built MeowMANOR and continue improving our services so every stay feels like home.
