18 | LUXlife Magazine ernow Cat Hotel is a dedicated family business operated by Ruth Lewis. A life-long lover and owner of cats, Ruth boasts years of experience in handling and caring for felines, including the very anxious, young, and old. Working with animals and running her own cattery has been a long-time dream for Ruth, a dream she has now achieved with the support from her husband John, who also shares her deep love for cats. With Ruth’s dedication to each cat owner and their furry family members, every stay is truly special. “I really appreciate the trust owners put into me to care for their precious family member while they are away,” Ruth shared. “This is a way of life for me; it’s not just a business. I don’t believe you can run a boarding facility successfully, with happy guests and customers, if you do not love what you do. You cannot run it purely as a business; your heart has to be in every little thing you do because that’s the least that the cats in my care and their owners deserve.” Ruth pays meticulous attention to detail throughout Kernow Cat Hotel, ensuring that her guests settle as quickly and comfortably as possible. She spends a large amount of time with her feline guests each day, opting to operate just 12 rooms so that she can concentrate entirely on each guest. This enables Ruth to really get to know each cat in their care, building a strong relationship based on trust between cat and carer. With more than 80% of her guests being return clients, Ruth has learned each personality and idiosyncrasy of her cats which has even helped her to spot early signs of illness or concerns. Kernow Cat Hotel’s significant success can be largely attributed to Ruth’s unfaltering commitment to cat care and the wellbeing of her guests. She keeps herself well informed regarding research and development in cat care and behaviour. Ruth continues to study cat behaviour, enhancing her qualifications to be sure that the cats in her care are being looked after to the highest possible standards. Enrichment is equally important to a cat’s wellbeing, and so Ruth continually invests in new toys and enrichment activities to enhance the playtime experience of her guests’ stay. Of course, as with any small business, Ruth has faced the strains of everrising costs that make running Kernow Cat Hotel increasingly challenging. However, she has vowed to never compromise on the care given to her guests, with the quality of that care remaining paramount to her business ethos. With this in mind, she does invest into ongoing research to source the best deals for consumables and equipment, ultimately minimising the need for price increases for her customers. This approach has enabled Ruth to build a reputation for Kernow Cat Hotel as a reliable figure in its community, a reputation that has earned the cattery the title of South West England’s Best Luxury Cat Accommodation 2025.
