Richmond and YVR go hand in hand, which means half our Richmond bookings aren’t just “we’re heading out of town,” they’re “we’re heading out of the country, and our flight’s at 6 AM.” We get it, and we’ve built our Cat Taxi service around exactly that kind of timing, because nobody needs to be doing a cat drop-off and an airport run in the same three hours.

Why Our Care Is Different

We’re a little obsessed with cats… in the healthiest way possible.

Cat Utopia has never been about filling our rooms. We built this business because we believe exceptional cat boarding is about the whole experience, not just the stay itself. We invest in our staff, support our community, and keep learning because better people provide better care. That’s the kind of cat hotel we’d want for our own cats.

We’re their friends. You’re their family. 🧡

Valet Service

Most Richmond Pet Taxi appointments fall in our $100 range, whether you’re in Steveston, Ironwood, Terra Nova, Richmond City Centre, Broadmoor, or Seafair, with YVR itself priced at $150 given the extra coordination airport pickups need. Daytime pickups run 10 AM–2 PM and need 7 days’ notice; evenings run 6–8 PM. All valets are subject to staffing, so if you’ve got a flight booked, get your valet booked early too.

It’s like Uber, but for the fluffy ones.

Local Favourites

Richmond is home to the biggest RAPS location around, the Regional Animal Protection Society does incredible work, and it’s the kind of organization we’re glad to see thriving in this city. We’ve also got a soft spot for Rumbl Boxing, we teamed up with them for a fundraiser back in 2024, and it’s the kind of local partnership that reminds us why we love doing this.
