Papamoa Kitty Cabins is a family-owned boutique cattery in Papamoa, run by Cheree, who has fostered cats and kittens for a local rescue for nine years and holds a feline first aid certificate.

Each cat stays in its own cabin with a sleeping space, eating space and litter area. There are single and double cabins, plus a bigger open area for larger cat families. We’re a social cattery, so our cats spend most of their time out and about together rather than shut away on their own. A large open door with cat netting lets in fresh air and sunshine, and every area is cleaned daily with veterinary-grade spray.

Quality, high-protein food is supplied, or you can bring your cat’s usual food, and all-natural litter is used. Small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs and rats may also be cared for, so just ask.

Cheree also offers gentle cat grooming using natural, calming products, from a quick wash and nail trim to a full body shave. Grooming is by appointment, either at the cattery or in your own home with her mobile service, and payment plans are available if your cat urgently needs a groom.

Cats need a current vaccination certificate before their stay. Pick up and drop off is available around Papamoa, Te Puke and Mount Maunganui.
