CAT FAQs

Home CAT FAQs
Will my cat be too hot or cold?
The cattery is comfortable all year round; cool and shady in summer, cosy in winter with indoor hidey holes and heat pads.

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.

My cat just loves to sleep in the sun, are they outside every day?
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.
Will my cat be on its own? I’ve seen some catteries where they share.
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.
You keep dogs too, won’t that upset my cat?
The cattery is surrounded by gardens and completely separate from the kennels.   There is absolutely no contact with the dogs.
My cat is very shy and timid, what do you suggest?
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?
My cat is a fussy eater, what do you feed and how often?
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.
Can I bring my own food?
We are happy to feed whatever you provide.
My cat gets diarrhoea when he/she comes home...
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.
What vaccinations are required?
We require a current F3 vaccination certificate.
When are tour times?
Tour Times

Feel free visit from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm from Monday to Saturday. By 10 am, we have finished the daily cleaning routine and are looking spic and span – for the shortest of times until our party animals undo all the good work!!

Photos of your pets
As a complimentary service we post photos of different boarders every day. We make every effort to include everyone at least once but don’t always succeed, so please be patient with us.
