Selwyn Cattery Answering your Questions about a Stay Vacation

Frequently Asked Questions

Selwyn Cattery takes extra care to meet your expectations. From pre-inspection visits to pick up and delivery service.

  • Can I come and visit the Cattery before I book my cat?

    Yes of course. We welcome you to come have a look during our opening hours only.

  • I live in Ashburton, can I book my cat at your Cattery?

    Yes! We welcome all cats. We predominantly serve the Selwyn District and Christchurch, but we have cats from as far away as Ashburton too.

  • My cat is very anxious, how can you make sure it won’t be frightened by other cats?

    Selwyn Cattery is purpose built to ensure the safety and comfort of your cat. Each cat has an individual room with its own exclusive exercise area.

  • Can my cat eat its own food?

    We ensure that their home diet is followed and any special needs catered for.

  • My cat needs daily medication, can you allow for this?

    Yes, we are fully able to administer medication for your cat.


    All cats must be vaccinated with a current vets certificate on admission. We also ask that cats are treated for fleas and worms prior to the visit.

  • I have two cats and I want them to sleep together for company, can you allow for this?

    Yes! Cats from the same family are accommodated together unless otherwise arranged.

  • What happens if my cat gets sick while it is holidaying at Selwyn Cattery?

    We will contact you (or your emergency contact) before we take your cat to the Vet.


    If fleas/worms are found, they will be treated by the cattery staff and you will be charged for this.
