Cat Boarding Sydney FAQ’s

We are open for private tours of our luxury cattery by appointment only from 11.00 am to 12.00 pm Tuesday through to Saturday during school term only.

Please call 02 9450 1579 or email  [email protected] to make an appointment.

No, only cats from the same family share enclosures.

We prioritise your cat’s health and well-being, which is why all our cattery guests enjoy complimentary access to a spacious exercise area for approximately two hours per day. This area is equipped with scratching trees, toys, logs, and chairs to keep them entertained. For their safety, we do not socialise cats unless they are from the same family.

Each Apartment enclosure features both indoor and outdoor sections, connected by a secure cat flap. This allows your cat to enjoy fresh air and a view of the garden and exercise area from the safety of their own space, even when it's not their turn for playtime.

All of our exercise areas have a covered roof.

All our accommodations are fully air-conditioned and heated for your cat’s comfort year-round.

Not at all! We warmly welcome our older guests, many of whom have been staying with us since they were kittens. Our fully heated and air-conditioned accommodation ensures they remain comfortable in all seasons.

With over 30 years of experience, we can quickly recognise when a cat isn’t feeling their best. Our trusted local vet is just minutes away and available on call. If needed, we will notify you or your emergency contact immediately. If you prefer, we can arrange transport to your own vet at an additional cost.

We provide brushing for long-haired cats, with a small additional fee for this service.

We administer medications (excluding injections) at no additional cost. However, all oral medications, including tablets and liquids, must be easily mixed into your cat’s food. Please ensure all medications are clearly labelled with your cat’s name and dosage instructions.

Please note that we do not accept FIV-positive cats or those previously diagnosed with Cat Flu.

Cat Food and Dietary Needs

We understand that many cats have specific dietary needs. You are welcome to bring your cat’s special food to ensure they stick to their usual diet. However, we are unable to offer a discount if you choose to provide your own food.

Weight management is a common concern for pet owners. We can create a custom weight loss plan for your cat, combining a controlled diet and tailored exercise during their stay.

Most cats settle in and begin eating within a day or two of arrival. However, some may experience a temporary loss of appetite due to a new environment.

With over 30 years of experience in cat care, we know how to gently encourage cats to feel relaxed and comfortable enough to eat. We spend time soothing them, offering reassurance, and monitoring their behaviour. If necessary, we will contact you to discuss options, including sourcing special food to tempt their appetite.

Arriving & What to Bring

Please note:

  • We cannot guarantee that bedding will return in the same condition.
  • We allow one bed/blanket and one toy per cat.
  • If you’re concerned about damage, consider purchasing an inexpensive bed before your cat's stay and allowing them to sleep on it for a few nights. This will help transfer their scent and provide reassurance while boarding.

Yes, you may bring one clearly marked toy. However, please be aware that toys can sometimes go missing, and we cannot guarantee that they will be returned home.

All cats must have a current F3 vaccination before boarding with us.

  • If your cat has recently been vaccinated or is due for a vaccination before arrival, it must be completed at least seven days prior to boarding.
