An overview of the bright, spacious cattery

What a cats-only hotel actually means

Dogs are not part of this facility. There is no barking through the wall, and no dog runs on the other side of the door.

The rooms are private and indoors, and cats from the same household may share one. Every room has a hiding box to retreat into, plus climbing trees, tunnels and supervised play. You get photo updates while your cat is staying.
