Leaving your cat somewhere beautiful is reassuring. Knowing they will be cared for by people who pay attention to the smallest details means even more.
At Hotel for Cats, luxury goes well beyond the room. Every puddycat has private accommodation, care shaped around their personality and a team that gets to know what is normal for them. We notice who greets breakfast enthusiastically, who prefers a quiet morning and who needs a little time before inviting their feline butler in for a smooch.
Hotel for Cats is located on the same premises as Blakehurst Vet. This gives our team ready access to veterinary expertise if a concern arises, while your cat continues to enjoy the warmth and comfort of a hotel created entirely for feline guests.
It is a rare combination: exceptional private accommodation, thoughtful individual care and the reassurance of veterinary support close at hand.
Quick answer
Hotel for Cats combines beautiful private suites and genuinely personal care with the added reassurance of Blakehurst Vet on the same premises. Our team gets to know every guest and monitors their eating, drinking, toileting and behaviour throughout their stay. If something causes concern, veterinary expertise is close at hand, adding an exceptional level of confidence to your cat’s holiday.
Caring for every puddycat as an individual
No two cats settle into boarding in exactly the same way.
Some arrive ready to explore and make friends. Others prefer to watch from a favourite perch until they feel comfortable. Our team takes the time to learn what is normal for each guest and allows them to settle at their own pace.
During the stay, we monitor eating, drinking, toileting and behaviour. These simple observations help us understand how a cat is settling and alert us if something has changed.
Private suites designed around cats
Every guest stays in private accommodation, with cats from different households never mixed.
Our rooms and suites give cats space to stretch, climb, rest and watch what is happening around them. Cats from the same family can share when they already live happily together and the chosen suite is suitable.
The range includes comfortable, affordable accommodation as well as our larger Grand Suites, The Estate and Penthouse rooms for puddycats who enjoy more space.
Keeping a close eye on their wellbeing
Our team gets to know each guest through the normal rhythm of the day. We notice how much they have eaten, whether they have used their litter tray and how they respond when we enter their room.
If a cat refuses food, behaves unusually or shows signs of illness, we do not ignore it. Because Blakehurst Vet is on the premises, veterinary advice and treatment are available if required.
Our guide to what happens if a cat becomes sick while boarding explains the process in more detail.
Food and medication
We follow the feeding instructions provided for each cat and can accommodate owner-supplied food when required.
Most oral and topical medications can also be administered, provided this is arranged before the stay. All medication must be clearly labelled with your cat’s name, dosage and instructions.
If your cat needs medication while boarding, please read our cat boarding with medication guide before booking.
Reassurance while you are away
Every stay includes one complimentary weekly photo or video update with a written summary. It is a chance to see how your puddycat is settling and what they have been doing during their holiday.
Additional updates can be arranged if required.
