AS OF THE START OF 2023 I WILL BE CHARGING A FLAT RATE OF $18 PER CAT, PER CALENDAR DAY, DURING PUBLIC &  SCHOOL HOLIDAY PERIODS. ALL RUNS ALLOCATED AS THEY ARE BOOKED.

PLEASE REMEMBER YOU PAY FOR ALL THE DATES YOU HAVE BOOKED, UNLESS YOU AMEND THE DATES 14 DAYS PRIOR TO ENTRY.

The Cat’s Whiskers is clean, safe and comfortable.

All the cat runs have three levels and a window.

The Deluxe Suites have their own outside runs, to which the cat’s have individual access at least 12 hours a day.

All Deluxe suites have as standard, heat pads in winter & Snooza Igloos. Scratching posts and crinkly tunnels.

Deluxe rates start at $14/cat/calendar day. These suites are suitable for 2 cats from the same family.

I also offer three Deluxe Family Suites than can comfortably accommodate 3 to 4 cats for the same family. These 3 runs do not have climate control that is in the main cattery area.

The main cattery area is fully insulated, has 4hp of reverse cycle air conditioning & a large fan for your cat’s all year round comfort.

There is a spacious central atrium area with scratching posts and climbing towers.

Music is played for most of the day, so your cat will feel at home. I also regularly use Feliway pheromone spray to keep your cat in a relaxed, happy frame of mind.

I have a vet on call 24/7 and use Dr Adrienne Arkell and Dr Liz Colvin who founded Australind Vet Clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Deluxe Rates: Mon to Thurs inclusive $14/cat/day. Fri,Sat,Sun $16/cat/day. School/Public Holiday $18/cat/day.

Medication: A charge of $4/medication administered will be charged.

Christmas/New Year Boarding Protocol: Many clients book Xmas a year in advance. Due to that fact, Xmas bookings are allocated as “first in, best dressed” Once deluxe runs are gone, you will be automatically allocated a Standard Suite. As soon as a Deluxe suite becomes available, your cat will be moved into that run. In general, 23rd Dec to 3rd Jan are the critical dates where you may not have your first choice run. All deluxe runs are usually filled by July.

Rates are per calendar day. You pay for ALL dates booked unless you amend the dates fourteen days prior to entry date.

You will be charged for all dates booked unless changed 14 days prior to entry date booked.

During school holiday periods Deluxe suites are allocated on a first booked basis.
