Cat Haven Boarding

Take a Tour of our Facility

Cat Haven provides one of the very few cat boarding facility in Perth with vets who practise cat medicine on the premises seven days a week, available to treat your cat if they are suddenly unwell.

When boarding each cat or family of up to 4 have their own spacious room and access to our main areas if they wish to visit our office staff, one family at a time and all within our secure stand alone boarding building.

Each cat or cat family can expect:

  • Their own large, spacious room with multiple levels and access to the main central area, if they choose. Their boarding rooms have scratching posts, toys and blankets.
  • The boarding facility is climate controlled with air-conditioning in summer and heating in winter.
  • Each cat boarding room has cat bedding, cat toys, scratching posts, and a frequently cleaned litter tray.
  • Premium Hills Science Diet biscuits and supplementary generic wet food are provided and included in our cat boarding fees. Premium Hills Prescription Diet biscuits incur an additional charge.
  • Each cat has hugs, cuddles, and brushing daily at no charge.

We have a small number of kennels with outdoor access and these are perfect for the energetic cats and cats who enjoy lounging in patches of sun or listening to the birds.

To book please email us at boarding@cathaven.com.au with your required dates. We are usually busy cleaning in the morning but will get back to you after 1pm.

Vaccinations

In order to ensure that your cat does not get sick, Cat Haven Boarding has a strict vaccination policy that unvaccinated cats will not be permitted to board with us.

All cats must have proof of current vaccination. If your cat has never been vaccinated or has not been vaccinated in over 12 months, there is a 5 week process. This consists of an annual vaccination, a booster two weeks later, and then a two week rest before your cat is allowed to board. Your cat must have been vaccinated with a minimum of an F3 within the last 12 months.

While every cat has its own kennel in our Boarding facility, it is best for their vaccinations to be at their maximum effectiveness. Cat can be flu carriers without showing any symptoms. Our vaccination policy is strict because we want to protect your cat.

Illness and Emergency

Your cat may find the boarding situation stressful, or may become ill. In this event, Cat Haven may have to treat your cat; you will be liable for any veterinary costs incurred.

To ensure we can give your cat the highest quality care, each Cat Haven Boarding customer will need to sign an emergency care authorisation form.

We know cats well, and with a vet clinic on site, we are equipped to deal with a huge variety of issues that may occur with a cat's health.

If you would rather your cat be transported to your local vet for treatment, instead of being treated by our vets, this will incur a transportation fee of $78 per hour. This fee includes GST.

Boarding Requirements

  • All cats must be sterilised.
  • All cats must be over 6 months old.
  • Vaccination history must be provided at time of booking.
  • We charge $2.50 a day for once daily medication, and $5 a day for twice daily medication administration.
  • We are currently unable to accept Diabetic cats, due to the necessity of medication timing.
  • If your cat needs to visit our veterinary clinic whilst boarding, there is a surcharge of $25.
  • For any new customers, or
    if you have not boarded your cat over the last 12 months, we are unable to
    accept cats over the age of 17 years old.

Your cat must be in a standard retail secure cat carrier when entering and exiting Cat Haven. This is simply to ensure that your cat cannot escape in transit, and it is easy for us to evacuate if absolutely necessary.

We recommend that you keep your cat inside the morning before you are coming in, as cats often recognise what is going on, and make it difficult for you to contain them.

What to Bring for Cat Boarding

Premium Hills Science Diet biscuits and supplementary generic wet food are provided, and are included in our cat boarding fees. Premium Hills Prescription Diet biscuits incur an additional charge.

Ask us if you would like a different brand of food, and we will check if we have it available. Alternatively, you are welcome to supply your own food.

We provide our Boarding cats with beds, bedding, blankets, litter trays, bowls, toys, scratching posts, food, heat and ice packs, and a lot of love.

You are welcome to place your cat's favourite blanket in their carrier, for scent familiarity; we are unable to accept other personal items.
