A place to stay meanwhile

Cat boarding while travel documents are prepared

Documents for an onward journey take as long as they take. Your cat can wait indoors with us in the meantime, in a private room with a hiding box, climbing trees and tunnels.

Check availability

Enter your dates, your cat's name, contact details and whether transport is needed. Anything else about the stay can be confirmed separately.

One family, both halves of the move

Your cat stays with us indoors: a private room, a hiding box, climbing trees and tunnels, supervised play, and photo updates while you travel.

The flight, the documents, the customs clearance and the route are handled by Pets Go Global, our sister company. Same owner, same people, one conversation for the whole move.

Tell us both parts when you enquire and we arrange them together. You do not need to book twice or explain your dates twice.

What we can and cannot say in advance

How long paperwork takes is not ours to promise, and it does not always finish during a boarding stay. What we can confirm is the room, the dates and the price.

Whether we can take a particular case depends on availability and on the cats themselves, so every request is answered individually.

The setup behind the stay

The same rooms and the same routine as any other guest.

A cats-only facility

Dogs are not part of this facility. Your cat shares the place with other cats and nothing else.

Private rooms

The accommodation is private rooms, not a shared block. Cats from the same household may share one.

Indoors, always

Cats do not go outdoors here.

Hiding places, climbing trees and tunnels

A hiding box to retreat into, height to climb and tunnels to explore.

Supervised play

Supervised play is part of the day.

Photo updates while your cat is staying

You see how your cat is getting on while you are away.

The documented case

Seven cats from the United States

One week at the cat facility while new documents were prepared for their onward journey to Caracas. Airline limits meant that they travelled in two groups.

Questions about document stays

Do you prepare the documents?

No. Pets Go Global handles the relocation and the document process. We provide the boarding.

Will the documents be ready by the end of the stay?

That depends on the route and the authorities involved, and we cannot promise it. The stay can be extended if it takes longer.

Is this a quarantine facility?

No. It is a cat hotel, and we do not offer quarantine or medical boarding.

Can you take any number of cats?

Every request is answered individually, based on availability at the time.

What does the stay cost?

From $20 per night for one cat, $36 for two sharing, $51 for three and $64 for four, taxes included.

Do longer stays get a discount?

10% from 10 nights, 15% from 20 nights and 20% from 30 nights. Longer stays are quoted on request.

Can cats from one household share a room?

Yes, and the two, three and four cat rates cover that.

When can I drop off and collect?

Daily from 8am to 4pm, by appointment.
