What sets us apart

Private Suites
Every guest enjoys the comfort of their own private suite, featuring a cozy tiled bedroom and a spacious open-air courtyard. Most suites offer beautiful views overlooking our lush gardens, creating a peaceful and relaxing enviroment.

No Barking Dogs
At Catarama, we specialize in providing a peaceful, cat-only boarding experience. Our facility is designed exclusively for felines, ensuring a calm and stress-free environment where your cat can relax without the distractions of barking dogs.

Tranquil Enviroment
Our cat boarding suites are nestled across beautifully landscaped gardens, providing your cat with a serene and natural environment. Most suites offer a peaceful outlook, allowing your cat to relax and enjoy the soothing sights and sounds of nature.

Low Density
Our facility spans over an acre, allowing for spacious suites that are well spread out. With a maximum of 8 suites per block, we can carefully place cats who are new to boarding away from others, to help minimize stress and ensure a calm, comfortable stay.

Suite Variety
We offer a range of suites to suit all preferences, from cozy to luxurious. The best suite for your pet can be chosen based on your budget, age of your cat or the duration of their stay. For instance, an older cat with arthritis may prefer a suite with beds and recreation equipment closer to the ground.

Nightly Charging
Our charges are based on the number of nights your cat stays with us, so you won’t be charged for the day you pick up your cat. For example, if you book from Monday to Friday, you’ll only be charged for 4 nights.
