Our Cattery Suites

At Dolittles, we understand that every cat is unique and has individual needs. That’s why we offer a range of accommodations at our cat boarding facilities. 

Our room types include single, double, and family rooms, ensuring comfortable cat stays for all of our feline friends. We can accommodate preferences, whether you’re looking for basic cat accommodation or luxury cat boarding facilities.

Our cattery features cosy bedding, personal play areas, and climate control to create the perfect home away from home for your furry friend.

We maintain our cattery to the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. We sanitise the rooms after each stay, so you can rest easy knowing your cat is in a pristine environment.

A Superior Cat Boarding Experience

Our dedicated and passionate staff are all cat mums and dads with extensive experience and training in feline care.

Whether your cat prefers independence, or needs constant love and attention, we follow their body language.

For cats who want more engagement, we offer cat grooming sessions, playtime activities, and – if we’re lucky – a chin scritch or two. We follow their lead to ensure your cat enjoys their stay to the fullest.

Cat Health & Well-being

Your cat’s health and well-being are our top priorities. We are committed to delivering a well-balanced diet, and that’s why we serve our feline guests Super Premium Royal Canin, ensuring their dietary requirements are fully addressed.

If your cat requires a special diet, feel free to provide their preferred food, and we will happily accommodate their dietary needs. Our team conducts routine health checks for cats, and if needed, we have access to veterinary care to address any concerns promptly.

Your Cat’s Safety is Our Priority

We’ve implemented stringent security measures, including secure access control and 24/7 CCTV surveillance, to ensure the well-being of all our feline guests. Additionally, we require all cat guests to have up-to-date vaccinations and health records to maintain a safe and healthy environment.

Booking & Reservations

You don’t need another thing on your plate, that’s why we make cattery bookings easy. Cat boarding reservations can be made online at any time by first selecting a retreat.

We offer special pet boarding packages and our cat boarding pricing is always transparent, so there’s no nasty surprises. We have flexible cat bookings, so there’s a spot for your kitty whether they’re here for a short stay or require long-term boarding. Ask about our discounts for extended stays!

We understand that plans change, that’s why we accept cancellations. During non-peak times, all that’s required is a $25 administration fee.
