Ellen Epstein, the big MEOW!
Ellen Epstein, founder of Crazy CatsEllen established her first pet care business, Bow Wow Meow, in 2006 in Alexandria VA. Her company quickly became one of the most popular and trusted companies in town! She was thrilled to spend her days (and nights) taking care of furry creatures. Her clients became some of her best friends - because cat and dog people are the BEST people! Now in S. Austin, Ellen lives with her CRAZY CAT, Pixie and her sheepadoodle, LaLa. That makes CRAZY CATS LLC a true women-owned company!

What WE believe in

What We believe in

01

Cats belong at home

Boarding is stressful. Your cat's own environment — their smells, their spots, their routine — is the best place for them to be while you're away.

02

Communication is everything

You'll receive a photo update every single visit. No news is not good news — we believe owners deserve to know their cat is happy and settled.

03

Every cat is different

Some cats want playtime. Some want to be left alone. We take the time to understand each cat's personality and adapt our care accordingly.

04

Trust is earned, not assumed

That's why we always offer a free meet and greet before any booking. You should feel completely comfortable before handing over your keys.
