Accommodation and care
Our experienced and caring team will be taking care of your cat during their stay, giving each cat individual attention.
We offer shared accommodation with enough room so that each cat has their own space. Although many people think of cats as solitary animals, they are very sociable in the right circumstances and this can be a very positive experience for your cat. Cats struggling in the shared space will be moved to their own individual accommodation if needed.
Cats that prefer their own space, smaller, individual units can be provided at an additional cost during peak season/school holidays and must be booked well in advance as spaces are limited.
We feed Hills Science Plan or Royal Canin. If your cat is on a specific diet or prescription diet, you are welcome to bring their own food in a clearly marked container. Cats that are on special diets/prescription diets are separated for feeding.
Litter boxes are cleaned twice daily. We provide various forms of stimulation: cratching posts, bedding at different heights, toys and catnip.
Requirements
Cats must be fully vaccinated and in good health. Flea Control and deworming can be done on admission if not up to date. Should your cat’s stay exceed 1 month, we will be obliged to repeat the ectoparasite treatment.
We regret that we cannot board un-sterilised cats. The exception to this would be kittens up tothe age of 6 months.
Yearly vaccinations must be up to date. Vaccination books must be brought in with your cat or a copy sent via email or whatsapp.
