Your cat deserves to be happy and content while you're away. We make sure your friend is well looked after, well fed and pampered. We're happy to administer any medications or special dietary needs at no extra cost.
Options for every personality — cosy igloos for the shy type, or open runs and a large group play area for the more social cat. Heat pump/air-conditioning keeps things cosy in winter and cool in summer.
Set in lovely countryside with an outlook onto running water from a natural spring and lots of native trees that attract an array of native birds. There are even friendly chickens and pigs to watch — the perfect surroundings to make your cat feel at home.
The best for your feline family friend, made affordable — from only $19 per cat per day for a general stay. Even better, our quality food and cuddles are free!
Veterinary services on call 24 hours a day for any issue that may require attention. Your pet will be rushed free of charge to the clinic as soon as required (treatment costs covered by the owner).
Stay up to date with your fur baby through our daily videos and photos. Follow us on Facebook to see how much fun they're having while you're away.
It's not just cats — our resident pigs and free-ranging chickens give your cat plenty to watch from the comfort of their run.
