Cat Boarding for San Clemente, CA
One freeway, about 17 minutes
San Clemente sits at the southern edge of Orange County, and the trip to our hotel is almost entirely one road: the I-5 north. From central San Clemente our routing check measured about 12 miles, nearly ten of them on the freeway, and roughly 17 minutes without congestion.
Families in Talega, Forster Ranch and the neighborhoods near the pier make the drive to board their cats in a private suite at our cat hotel.

Flying out of San Diego or Orange County?
San Clemente is roughly between the county's two big airport options. If you fly from John Wayne Airport (SNA), we are on your way north — SNA is about 23 minutes past us. If you fly from San Diego, dropping off the day before is usually easier than doubling back.
Beat the I-5 rush
Northbound traffic builds through San Juan Capistrano on weekday mornings. A drop-off after 9:30 AM, or on a Saturday morning, usually makes for a smoother drive.
What your cat gets
Private Single, Double or Triple suite
Daily cleaning and fresh litter
Supervised play in three large pens

Neighborhood starting points
From the pier and downtown area, Avenida Pico or El Camino Real to the I-5 north gets you on the freeway quickly. Talega and Forster Ranch residents usually join at Avenida Pico as well. From Shorecliffs and the north end of town, the Camino de Estrella on-ramp is closest. Once on the freeway it is a straight run past San Juan Capistrano to Crown Valley Parkway, then a short loop onto Forbes Road.
