Your Cat's Home Away From Home in Dorset
We are Rhonda and Paul, former paramedics with 28 years of experience serving communities across Dorset, Wiltshire, and Somerset. After retiring from healthcare, we channelled our passion for feline welfare into creating The Catnap Hotel, a family-run cattery established four years ago. Our facility combines clinical cleanliness with a homely atmosphere, offering individualised care that mirrors what we provide our own cats, Dotty and Cinders.Located in West Melbury's tranquil countryside, we prioritise stress-free stays through spacious chalets, dietary customisation, and dedicated one-to-one attention. Our expertise in caregiving translates to a service that treats every cat as part of our extended family, ensuring peace of mind for owners during their holidays.
