True, some home owners will let you stay in their house for nothing in exchange for looking after their pets, but you won’t get much flexibility on date or location. So if you need somewhere to stay on your terms , but would also like a small friend, check out these AirBnB options with a bonus cat (with or without owner).
Brighton, UK, whole house, Pickles


Stay here with Pickles if you need space for 6 and access to the South Downs. Brighton itself is a couple of miles away.
Amsterdam, Netherlands, whole flat, Mimi


Absolutely huge Amsterdam flat for 2 with roof terrace.
Budapest, Hungary, private room, triple cat




Mimine, Cuki and Thaïs are keen to share the best local spots to explore.
Brighton, UK, whole house, Tiggie


Another Brighton cat house, but right on the beach, for 4.
Copenhagen, Denmark, whole flat, Coco


Among the action in central Copenhagen, with a cat who will sleep on you.
New York, USA, whole flat, Gretchen


This one-bed in New York with Gretchen. Most guests have left glowing reviews but there is one who says “Don’t try to get too close to Gretchen” Well, maybe she just didn’t like you, Henry.
Bangkok, Thailand, private room, triple cat


Show-home aesthetic with Casper and friends.
Berlin, Germany, private room, Perejil & Chupa



Central Berlin with a very accommodating host, bedroom for 1-2 but invite 4 more friends if you want.
Portland, USA, private room, Chica


Yes, that is a dog (that’s Florie) but cat, Chica, lives here too.
Tokyo, Japan, private room, Sumire & Ghin


Lovely bright house, good for solo female travellers.
Would you choose any of these based on the kitty presence?
