Here’s some excellent kitten marketing! Just Cats Clinic in Reston, Virginia recently created this wonderful playroom inside their clinic. The space is used by local rescue groups to show adoptable kittens when the clinic is open. I can’t think of a better display!
The playroom is bright and open with windows facing a busy walkway in a shopping plaza. People passing by can watch the kittens playing or napping in the sun, then hopefully come in for a visit and bring home a new family member.
The space was designed by Dr. Elizabeth Arguelles, the veterinarian and owner of Just Cats Clinic. Dr. Arguelles worked with an architect and contractor to create this amazing design. They incorporated a wonderful cat superhighway giving the kittens lots of levels to explore and places to perch. The tree trunks provide a great natural scratching surface and beautiful aesthetic.
If you’re ever in Reston, make sure to stop by Just Cats Clinic to see this marvelous space and visit the kittens! You can learn more about them at JustCatsClinic.com.

What a beautiful space! It really is a great marketing idea. I hope they have a lot of adoptions 🙂
Gorgeous design and excellent way to showcase the cats. All the slick hard surfaces make for easy cleaning as well but I wonder if its too slick for the cats if they get really wound up and charging around?…I can see my cats sliding off the edges, not making jumps, etc and claws grasping for traction.
Love the natural tree trunk and the multi-level catification! Hope the space is climate controlled, though, as all that glass with the sun beating in on hot days might be uncomfortable?
I’ve really enjoyed the rainbow cat rooms that we’ve seen, but I think I love this look even more. The mellow, contemporary colors are so easy on the eye, and I think the color repetition will help to showcase the cats. They made some great design decisions.
I am fortunate enough to work at Just Cats Clinic and the catified space is climate controlled, and while the cat do seem to always pick a sun puddle to nap in, there are places out of the sun to lounge in, too. It’s a great space, easy to clean and disinfect, without carpeted surfaces for that reason. The cats love the elevated paths, as well and the stairways and most of the wrestling happens on the ground floor anyway
Teri, could you share the material used in this room. I have 13 cats… 6 of whom spray so I need to build an extension room for them as they’ve destroyed the house. I am looking forward to your answer. Thank you
Amazing ! Wonderful — now, just to clone this across the country 🙂 Thank you —
I love this. what better way to see kittens and cats for adoption than to be free of a cage and playing and interacting with each other. It’s so sad to see them in a cage at a shelter. This makes for a happier animal.
Absolutely fabulous! I hope that other cat facilities around the U.S. and the world follow in your progressive “paw”steps! 😉 This is going to help so many cats to find their FURever Homes! =^..^=
Wow! It looks fabulous! I am LOVING those tree trunks in there! So much stimulation and plenty of vertical real estate! Just beautiful!
Love it, Just Cats! Thanks for being awesome and thoughtful and imbuing that in everything you guys do! 🙂
What a cool room! I’d love to know what brand of flooring they chose. My husband and I are choosing flooring for our new house and are trying to find something durable that will stand up to our six cat guys.
What kind of “laser pointer” toy is that? I’m looking into getting one for my cats, but I want to make sure they’re safe.
That’s my vet! I just moved to Reston recently and was looking for a new vet for my 13-yo cat Calisto. I decided to go there because the practice only deals with cats, which is less stressful, I think. Dr. Arguelles is very nice and helpful and I loved the kitten room (that’s what I call it) when I saw it! What a clever way of showcasing how much fun it is have a little furry friend. It’s cat TV! Wishing them plenty of successful adoptions…
I hope these kittens find their forever home. Maybe Animal Planet should showcase this on their channel.
This is my vet! The space is truly beautiful, and Dr. A. is a wonderful vet.She solved a very tricky issue with one our cats; several years later, you would never know there had been a problem. I highly recommend her for anyone who lives in the area.
