Cat Boarding
Our purpose-built heated chalets provide safe, comfortable stays for single cats, bonded pairs, or family groups. Each unit features insulated housing with secure outdoor exercise areas and elevated platforms for natural observation. Thermostatic heating ensures year-round comfort while scratch posts and safe viewing windows cater to feline instincts.
Medication Support
Experienced staff administer routine and complex veterinary-prescribed medications with gentle techniques to minimise stress. We support diabetic cats and those with chronic conditions through structured schedules and detailed progress reporting to ensure treatment continuity during boarding.
Transport Service
Secure collection and drop-off available within 5 miles of Glen Parva using cat-friendly transport. Our service accommodates busy schedules with reliable timing for both short-notice and pre-planned transfers to ensure stress-free arrivals and departures.
Play Enrichment
Tailored play sessions match each cat's personality, offering gentle interaction for shy guests or active engagement for energetic felines. Environmental enrichment includes scratching posts, puzzle feeders, and supervised outdoor viewing to maintain natural behaviours and mental stimulation.
Behavioural Monitoring
Daily logs document each cat's mood, appetite, litter habits, and social interactions. This systematic approach enables early detection of health changes while providing owners with detailed insights into their pet's adjustment and wellbeing during their stay.
