We are extremely proud to announce that our cattery is open as of 8 April 2019.
Our goal has always been to provide professional, safe and loving care for the doggos in the family – now extended to the velvet-pawed members as well!
Our traditional aviary-style cattery has 8 regular units (suitable for 1-3 cats) and 1 large family unit (suitable for a very spoiled single cat, or up to 5 cats). Cats not from the same family do not share with other cats (ever!) – and we cater for a maximum of 20 cats in our cattery.
We walked our farm from top to toe identifying the most suitable site. The cattery is separate from the dog area and barely within earshot of the dogs, screened on one side by seasonal trees that attract loads of birdlife, and set well back from our driveway to minimise dust and mitigate any fear relating to the dogs. It is incredibly quiet and peaceful.
We have a way to go to make it as beautiful as we intend to and it’s not as pretty as some of the well-established catteries, but we’ll slowly catch that monkey and folks can expect to see ongoing development and improvement as we go along. We have big plans!
Our cattery is managed and operated by Shayne Suttie – a cat Yoda! Shayne is a lifelong cat owner, and managed one of the highest volume shelter catteries in Gauteng for a number of years. She is also doing some studies to validate what she knows and feels into a certified qualification. We are extremely proud to have Shayne on board!
