Who we are

Hi there! I’m Melissa — proud cat/goat/duck mum, nature lover, and the heart behind The Celtic Kitty Inn here in beautiful County Sligo.

I live just a few steps away from the cattery, in a cottage with my husband and cats, and a lively bunch of farm friends: seven cheeky goats and four adorable ducks.  Our days are filled with the gentle chaos of purring, bleating, and quacking — a happy chorus that makes this place feel truly alive.

I’ve been head-over-heels for cats for as long as I can remember, and opening The Celtic Kitty Inn feels like a dream I somehow wished into reality. Getting to spend my days surrounded by cats — caring for them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and loved is pure joy. I’m deeply passionate about animals and their welfare, and I’m so grateful to be able to give them a peaceful, loving space to call their home-away-from-home.

When I’m not in the cattery, you’ll usually find me out in nature — wandering barefoot along the beach, dipping into the sea for a swim, collecting shells, cooking something cozy, reading, or enjoying a good cup of coffee.

Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the world — I can’t wait to welcome you (and your feline friends) to The Celtic Kitty Inn.

With love and a sprinkle of cat magic,
Melissa
