Cattery & Cat Boarding near Cardiff
We are about thirteen miles west of Cardiff, immediately off Junction 34 of the M4, the first junction past the city. For most of west and north Cardiff that is a twenty-five minute drive into open countryside, and the last two minutes of it are down a lane.
Getting here from Cardiff
From Llandaff, Radyr, Fairwater, Ely or Pentyrch, the A4119 or the M4 both bring you to Junction 34 in about twenty minutes. From Canton, Cathays, Roath and the centre, allow twenty-five to thirty. From Rumney, St Mellons and Llanrumney on the eastern side, the M4 makes it a straightforward half-hour.
Because we sit right beside Junction 34, the run works particularly well around a flight. Cardiff Airport is about ten miles from us down the A48 and Five Mile Lane, so dropping your cat off and carrying on to the airport does not mean crossing the city twice.
Villages and districts we board cats from
A city cat in the countryside
More than a hundred Cardiff households board with us, and the reason they give is nearly always the same: they wanted their cat out of the city for the fortnight, not parked in it.
Every pen here is climate-controlled and looks out over fields. On fine days the external storm guards come off and the cattery fills with fresh air, birdsong and the smell of the countryside, so a cat gets the interest of the outdoors without taking its chances.
We charge per pen per day, from £17 a day for one cat, with no themed-room tiers and no hidden extras. Two cats from the same household share a pen at a shared rate rather than paying twice.
