CAT FAQs

The cattery is air-conditioned and comfortable in all weathers.

Each condo has a quiet indoor area leading through to an outdoor balcony with views of the great outdoors.   This opens out to an enclosed garden or deck.

Everyone has everyday access to their own garden or deck.   There are climbing logs, places to lounge and an abundance of cat grass, penny royal and cat mint.   Even at our busiest times, every boarder has daily access to the great outdoors.

Cats do not share unless they are from the same family.   Even then, it is not unusual for cats from the same household to have a tiff.   For these cranky pants, we give you a choice of housing them together during the day and separate at night; or completely separate at all times.

The cattery is surrounded by gardens and completely separate from the kennels.   There is absolutely no contact with the dogs.

There are two schools of thought about familiar items from home.   One is that it helps the pet settle in and the other is that it perpetuates the memory of home and unsettles the animal for longer.   Who said being a cat owner was easy?

In the morning we feed good quality, preservative-free kibble and in the afternoon we offer both tinned fish and minced beef.   We also have tinned tuna, tinned mackerel, raw fish fillets, raw prawns, raw minced kangaroo or duck, chicken necks and a variety of different tinned cat food.  We usually manage to tempt the most discerning of palates eventually.   We have a special technique for anyone who’s reluctant to eat – it’s called BBQ chook – works every time.

We are happy to feed whatever you provide.

This is a perfectly natural adaptation to a change in diet.   Reverting to their usual diet after their holiday may trigger a harmless short term change in bowel habit.

We require a current F3 vaccination certificate.

As a complementary service we post photographs of all boarders on our Facebook page. You can see for yourself how your furry one is faring.
