FAQs
Do cats share the room with other cats?
No. Only cats with the same owner share a room. Cats with different owners will never interact.
Do you let cats outside?
While we have plans to install a catio alongside the new suites coming in 2021, we don’t currently allow cats outdoors as it wouldn’t be safe to do so.
Do you give updates on my cats stay?
Yes! We send you email or whatsapp updates every few days, as well as post photos and videos on Facebook and Instagram.
Can I bring my own food for my cat?
Of course! If you would prefer your cat to stay on their usual food, please bring this along with them. We also accept cats on a raw diet, just let us know in advance so we can make space in our dedicated freezer.
Do boarding cats in different rooms get to mix with each other?
No. Cats are territorial by nature and don’t like cats they don’t know. It also breaches licensing conditions – cats from different owners are never allowed to interact.
My cat is an indoor cat, do they need to be vaccinated?
Yes. All cats staying in a boarding environment must have up-to-date vaccinations, or provide titer test results.
Do you accept short or long term stays?
Short stays (of one to two nights) are available, they are charged at a higher rate as this covers the cleaning and maintenance costs of the room. The minimum boarding period between June – September is five nights.
Long stays are also available. We have had guests stay as long as six months previously, but there is no limit on how long you can book in for.
What time can I drop off and collect my cats?
Standard check in is between 3.30pm – 5pm, and standard check out is between 9am – 10.30am. We offer early check in and late check out, if availability allows, and they are an additional half day charge for each.
Do you offer pick up and drop off?
Yes, depending on location and availability. You can find more about our chauffeur service here
How do I make or cancel a booking?
If you would like to book your cat in for a holiday, you can get in touch via email or phone. A 50% deposit must be paid to confirm the booking. The remaining balance is then due no later than check-in day.
Cancellations require a minimum of one calendar months’ notice. The full booking fee is due for any cancellations less than one month before boarding start date. Refunds for cancellations may be offered at The Purr Hotel’s discretion.
