Each guest enjoys

More than just boarding. A luxury home-away-from-home, designed exclusively for cats, in a dedicated cat room in our home.

No dogs in the lobby. Ever.

  • Their own villa-style suite

    A private condo with a light-oak cat house to curl up in, shelves for sitting up high and soft bedding. Nobody else's cat, nobody else's bowl.

  • Daily time in the custom cat room

    A TV, a climbing wall, interactive toys and much more. Every day of the stay.

  • Personalised, attentive care

    Tell us their routine and their quirks, and we'll look after them the way they like. Plenty of cuddles for those who want them, polite distance for those who don't.

  • Climate controlled 24/7

    Comfortable through a Perth summer and cosy all winter, day and night.

The suites

A private villa for every guest

Each cat checks into their own condo, with room to stretch, climb and hide. Private condos designed for comfort, calm and a little luxury.

  • A light-oak cat house for naps with the door half closed
  • Shelves at different heights for keeping an eye on things
  • Soft bedding, blankets and a toy or two
  • Their own space, all to themselves
An empty suite before a guest arrives: a black-framed condo with light-oak shelves, a cat house up top, a pink bed and a litter tray

Daily access

The cat room

Every day of their stay, each guest gets time out of the suite in our custom cat room. Think hotel lounge, with more places to nap.

Personalised & attentive

Care that feels like home

Your cat stays in a dedicated cat room in our home. A real home, not a kennel block.

Every cat is different. Tell us how yours likes things when you book: food, routine, favourite spots, the shy bits. Then come and have a look around first. Inspections are welcome.

Looking for a safe, cosy and truly loving place for your cat while you're away?
