Cat boarding

Cat boarding in Salzburg – peace and security for your cat

On holiday a cat needs one thing above all: quiet, safety and a place of her own to retreat to. At our cat boarding in Neumarkt am Wallersee your cat lives in comfort and loving care, with experience and heart since 1996.

Your cat will find her own favourite spot here

Cats are creatures of habit and need quiet. That is why our cat house is deliberately calm: spacious communal areas for sociable cats, private places to retreat for everyone else.

Communal & quiet areas

Your cat decides for herself whether she wants company or prefers her peace. It is quiet and relaxed with us, separate from the dog boarding. All indoor rooms are air-conditioned.

Places to climb & play

Scratching posts, raised lookouts and toys provide variety and exercise. That keeps your cat active, even away from home.

A private room for a surcharge

Some cats prefer to keep to themselves. For animals that would rather be entirely on their own, older, anxious or unwell cats for example, we offer a quiet room of their own with personal care.

Secure outdoor run

Our cats can go outside at any time: a fully fenced outdoor area with fresh air, sunny spots and a view of the greenery, built to be escape-proof.

Photos by WhatsApp

We are glad to send you pictures of your cat’s nicest moments, so you always know how things are going.

The rooms

At home on several levels

Every cat room has at least three levels. Cats orient themselves by height: from above they can survey everything, and anyone who needs distance finds it without having to leave the room.

The rooms are fitted with scratching posts, sleeping caves, raised resting places and window seats. In front of the glass doors are the sunny spots, reliably occupied in the mornings. All areas are air-conditioned, warm in winter and pleasantly cool in summer. Cleaning is done daily and thoroughly.

Cats from one household stay together. Whether a cat gets a shared or a private room depends on how well she gets on with others; a private room is available for a surcharge. There is more on this in the guide: How a cat settles in.

Types of care

Which kind of care suits your cat?

Holiday care

Places to retreat, things to climb and play on. Feeding and rest periods to match your cat’s habits.

Long-term care

Over weeks or months as well. Familiar carers and unchanging routines give confidence.

Individual care

Shy, older or chronically ill? We adapt to your cat’s character. A private room is available for a surcharge.

Day care

For particular situations such as workmen in the house or a longer appointment. In the evening your cat is home again.

How it works

From the first enquiry to the sunny spot by the window

I

Enquiry & advice

You simply fill in our enquiry form and describe your cat’s character, food, medication and anything special. We look at everything and send you a suitable quote by email. That way everything is ready when she arrives. If you have questions, you can reach us by phone at any time.

II

Arrival & settling in

On arrival we go through everything again calmly and clear up any open details. We check the vaccination record and keep it on file. A familiar object from home, her own blanket or a favourite toy, helps your cat settle in with smells she knows.

We can also collect your cat from home and bring her back again. There is more on this at the Shuttle service.

III

Care & collection

Daily attention with time for play and cuddles, just as your cat likes it. When you collect her you get a short account of how she enjoyed her time with us.

Since 1996

Experience your cat can feel

Cats rarely show openly how they are. That is exactly what we watch for: who is eating normally, who is withdrawing, who is seeking closeness? From these small signals we adjust feeding, rest and activity for each one. And because cats live with us in a quiet area of their own, it stays calm and relaxed, the way velvet paws need it.

Good to know

Common questions about the cat hotel

What if my cat is very shy?

We respond sensitively to every cat and offer quiet places to retreat for more anxious animals.

Can several cats from one household stay together?

Yes, as long as they get on well, we are glad to house them together.

What if my cat needs special food or medication?

No problem. Tell us the details with your enquiry and we take care of it reliably. Please send medication in its original packaging and with a short written instruction.

What does the retreat area actually look like?

Within the group area there are many cosy places to retreat: caves, baskets and raised spots that any cat can withdraw to whenever she wants peace.

Is there outdoor access or is it indoors only?

There is a fenced, escape-proof outdoor area where your cat can enjoy fresh air and sun safely.

How early should I book a place?

We fill up quickly, especially during the school holidays. It is best to book your preferred dates a few weeks in advance.

Which vaccinations does my cat need?

Please bring the vaccination record with you. The usual ones are feline panleukopenia and cat flu. For cats arriving from abroad an active rabies vaccination is compulsory. Vaccination cover should be active. If the expiry date has only just passed, we are still happy to take your cat for up to six months afterwards. We are happy to clarify the details with you in advance.

What should I send along with my cat?

The most important thing for the journey: a sturdy carrier with a secure fastening. In it your cat arrives safely and calmly. Your cat herself travels best without any collar or flea collar, so that nothing catches while she is climbing and playing.

Food is included; only if she has special food please bring it along. Add a familiar blanket or a toy. Smells she knows make settling in easier.

Do I hear from you during the stay?

Yes, as a matter of course: we give you a short update on how your cat is doing. Exactly when depends on how the day goes.

What happens if my cat becomes ill?

We keep a close eye on all the pets. Should your cat feel unwell, we let you know straight away. Our vet comes to us at the house if needed, so your cat stays in familiar surroundings.

What if my arrival is delayed?

A call is all it takes. Traffic, a delayed flight or an appointment that runs long. As soon as we know, we adapt to it. That applies to arrival just as much as to collection.

Is someone with the cats at night as well?

Yes. We live in the same house as your cat. This means someone is on site around the clock and can respond immediately if needed.

You will find more answers in the general questions.

Relaxed days for your cat – peace of mind for you.

A sunny spot, a scratching post and plenty of quiet are already waiting.
