Inside Jordan’s first hotel for cats
A Jordanian couple who have been rescuing stray cats for years opened the first five-star hotel in Amman offering cat-friendly services.
AMMAN, Jordan — From a dying cat next to a garbage dump in the streets of the Jordanian capital Amman to a cat living a luxurious, healthy life, Fattosha, with its fur clean and neat, sits on a comfortable pillow, after having devoured a copious meal that its rescuer had prepared.
Fattosha was one of 28 cats that Uday and Heba Abu Hadid rescued from homelessness and took in.
The rescue of Fattosha inspired the couple to open a hotel for cats in Jordan in August, to house rescued cats or cat-sit for those whose owners cannot take care of their cat due to travel or other commitments for a daily fee of $7.
Mau Hotel is located 20 kilometers (12 miles) to the north of Amman in the New Badr area, and can accommodate 16 cats that receive full hotel services with food, drink, play and veterinary services.
