Whiskers and Paws is a purpose-built boutique cattery in sunny Hawkes Bay.

Our facilities are warm, comfortable and hygienic. The building is built to residential building standards and is positioned for all day sun, fully insulated, double glazed, with HRV system and ceiling heat panels to ensure adequate airflow and warmth during the colder months. The entire facility is safe and secure with CCTV cameras and fire/intruder alarm.

 

We offer a range of accommodation options to ensure every cat can be comfortable during their stay.

We have 5 luxury suites with private outdoor patios and webcam access, 10 self contained full height studios, and 3 semi-communal rooms offering comfortable guest pod accommodation.

We can provide specialised care for kittens, the older cat, and cats with special health needs.

Each luxury suite and all semi-communal rooms have indoor/outdoor areas, along with climbing frames, toys, and music throughout the day, with sunny shelves to watch the rural aspect with many birds, chooks, and the occasional bunny to add interest. The studios have fresh air through a screen with pull down blind and access to the main play room for extra exercise.

 

It is our passion to ensure that your cat's home away from home is peaceful, comfortable and enjoyable.

Inspections are welcome by appointment.

 

We are a member of the IBPSA-International Boarding & Pet Services Association- the cat resort meets high standards of hygiene, design and exercise areas.

All our staff members are vet nurse students or qualified vet nurses.
