Looking for a cattery while you’re on holiday, relocating or away on business?

Leaving your cat with someone else can be tough. Worrying about your feline friend isn’t going to make your trip any easier, so you need to find a good place for your cat to stay, and that cattery has to be affordable.

So, how much are our cattery fees?

Cattery Fees For All Cats

We also provide discounts for our long-term visitors.

  • There is also a statutory holiday surcharge on top of our cattery fees on public holidays of $4.00 per cat, per day.

(Please arrive at least half an hour before closing if you are checking your pet in for boarding.)

Full-day cattery fees are charged for your drop off day, irrespective of the time you arrive. If you pick up your cat to go home before 11.00 a.m., there is no charge applied for that day.
Please note: customers will be charged full-day cattery fees for all days booked during our peak season.

Please contact us to arrange a booking for your cat.

Our cattery is semi-communal. It is a large airy space where cats feel safe and comfortable: lots of climbing space, baskets and sheepskins. We have a covered outdoor conservatory, which provides a great place for your cat to relax and soak up the sun, and a warm internal room. 

All our cats have their own “split-level suite”, with their bed on one level and litter tray and food on the other. If you have any special requirements for your feline friend, please feel free to contact us so that we can accommodate their individual needs.

    • Mildly Aggressive If Provoked
    • Independent
    • Aggressive

  5. How does your cat interact with other cats?
  6. How does your cat react to strangers?
  7. Do you want your cat socialized with other cats?
  8. Has your cat ever suffered from cystitis?
  9. Is your cat of an age or temperament where it is likely to experience any illness as a result of being in a cattery?)
  10. Are there any behavioural tendencies the kennel staff should know about? (biting and scratching when picked up.)

Vaccination Requirements

All cats staying at our boarding cattery, whether as short-term or long-term guests, are required to be vaccinated for the following:

  • Calicivirus  
  • Rhinotracheitis (snuffles)
  • Feline Enteritis
  • Potional Chlamydia (feline aids) optional – we strongly recommend you speak to your vet regarding this.

All cats must have had vaccinations within the last 12 months, but not less than 7 days before entering the cattery. All vaccinations are to be valid for the length of stay.
