Our Philosophy
Cat Purr-fection Cattery aims to provide the best possible experience for your cat while we are caring for it.
Although we cannot give your cat quite the same ‘home’ as its own, we do endeavour to give it as much a ‘home-away-from-home’ experience as is possible.
Your cat will be given individual attention and any special needs it requires will be catered for.
The bright, airy, open environment we provide for your cat at the cattery, will make its stay with us very pleasant indeed.
Hygiene is equally important too, of course, and we observe all recommendations to ensure your cat’s environment while in our care is clean, safe and free from disease.
“when our two go on “pussy-cat holiday” they are well looked after”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a current vaccination certificate required before check-in?
It is a code of practice requirement that we receive documentation from your vet specifying that your loved one has had a recent (within the past year) F3 vaccine. If your cat has not been vaccinated before, it will take at least two weeks for full immunity to take place after vaccination.
Apart from vaccination are there any other requirements?
Apart from vaccination are there any other requirements?
Yes, these are according to the code of practice.
- Your cat must be at least three months of age.
- It is best to give your cat worm and flea treatment 10-14 days before boarding.
- Please note that all guests found with fleas, flea dirt or worms will be treated at their owners' expense.
- Please bring your cat to Cat Purr-Fection in a wire or solid plastic carry cage, one cat per cage.
Do I need to supply food?
We supply all food for your cat during its stay with Cat Purr-Fection.
Please talk to our staff if your cat is on a special diet.
Can I bring along my cat's bed?
We supply all guests with bedding, blankets, scratching poles, toys and feeding bowls. We also recommend that you bring in a article of clothing with your scent on it, as this has been known to relax and ease a cat into boarding.
What if my cat is sick or gets sick while we are away?
Our trained and experienced staff regularly check the health of all guests by monitoring their behaviour, appetite and litter usage.
Upon check-in, we will ask you for the contact details of your regular vet and we will contact you if we feel a visit to the vet is necessary.
If we are unable to reach you, we will take your cat to your preferred vet if local, otherwise we will use our vet. If a guest becomes sick we have a quarantine retreat to ensure other guests will not be affected.
Will my cat be in contact with any other cats?
Under our care, your cat will have its own accommodation.
During the day, the cats socialise and will receive plenty of attention and affection from us.
Can I come to inspect Cat Purr-Fection Cattery?
We are more than happy to give you a grand tour of our premises. Please contact us to arrange a convenient time for us both.
When do I need to pay?
If staying for a period longer than two weeks, a 50% deposit is required to reserve your retreat.
In peak periods, such as school holidays, we do experience a high demand for accommodation. We therefore require a 50% deposit to reserve your retreat.
Balance to be paid on check-out

How will I know if my cat is enjoying its holiday while I'm away?
