Our Cattery

 

When we decided to design and build our cattery, we thought of all the things we would like for our own cats, and incorporated these in the design. A security door into the cattery, a sliding security door into the unit area, and padlocked runs ensure safety. 

We are licensed with our Shire Council, and started our business in August 2003.

We are members of the Association of Pet Boarding and Grooming Queensland.

 

 

 

 

Situated on two acres our modern building of colour- bond and steel, is insulated, and has two whirlybirds to take out the hot air in summer. Four skylight panels in the roof allow lots of light into the cattery. Every second unit has a window.

 

 

A roller door at one end opens onto two outside runs, and allows sunshine and airflow on lovely warm days. For very hot days, we are equipped with air-conditioning.  

There are five outside runs. These runs are lovely areas with plants, cat grass, tree trunks for scratching posts and hammocks.

 

 

 

 

 

Twelve of our units have personal access to the runs through cat doors. The floor is a concrete slab, covered with vinyl.

 

 

Each roomy (2m high x 1.25m deep x .75m wide) walk-in unit has four levels, solid walls and a wire door. These walls were designed with the health and safety of your cat in mind as there is no contact between  units, which lessens the chance of injury, intimidation etc.

 

Our family units have the lower part of the wall between two units removed. This gives a family of cats heaps of room, and lots of floor space. They have enough room to play or they can easily find their own space. Family units have run access.

Rain water is collected from the roof into a tank for watering the runs and gardens.

 

 

 

Environmentally friendly cat litter is composted for the garden. We also have a worm farm for other litter waste.
