We grew up with cats and kittens about the home – both pedigree and moggies. We bred Siamese and, occasionally, Persian kittens. This led to my mother establishing a small boarding facility as new owners often asked if she would mind the kittens at holiday times. I had always enjoyed helping run the cattery during my holidays from work. It was a natural progression to take over the running of the cattery after leaving my office job. From those small beginnings I expanded and upgraded the facilities to the current 30 purpose built PVCu houses from Pedigree Pens in the U.K. – the first in Ireland. My sister followed my lead 5 years ago taking early retirement, and we now share the cattery duties together. We do not have staff as we prefer the personal relationship with our guests and find this helps to settle even the most timid cat.

Facilities

Our cattery consists of 30 houses. We have 7 extra large family houses to accommodate three or more cats from the same household. We have 10 smaller units that can house twosomes. We also have 13 houses varying in design that are suitable either for the agile cat or for shy cats and cats that prefer their own company.They are all fully insulated, heated and each house has its own individual run connected to a safety porch. For hygiene purposes all runs are divided by toughened glass screens.




TERMS

To avoid refusal on arrival, please bring with you the vaccination cert(s) stamped by a qualified Veterinary Surgeon. No cat will be admitted showing any symptoms of illness, including runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, dirty ears, unexplained bald patches (for fear of ringworm) - any loss of hair or bald patch requires a letter from your Veterinary Surgeon in advance of boarding. Cats must be treated in advance for fleas and worms before boarding. Sorry, but we cannot accept un-neutered male cats over 6 months of age While cats boarding with us receive every care and attention, they are boarded entirely at the owner's risk.
