Harewood Cattery in Selby

Located towards Selby, to the east of Leeds, our cat boarding at Hillam is situated in a new purpose- built cattery in a converted brick barn, directly adjacent to our living quarters.

The cattery was established in April 2008 and, in the first year of operating had attracted almost 200 customers. The cattery initially opened in Harewood, North Leeds before moving to Hillam, in May 2009. Many of our Leeds customers moved with us and have been impressed with the new cattery. David runs the cattery and this is his personal message:-

‘My name is David Francis and I am the owner of the cattery. My aim is to run a first class ‘hotel’ for cats. The cat ‘hotel’ is clean, warm and safe and the ‘rooms’ are all furnished to a high standard. The cattery is directly adjacent to our house and situated in a beautiful secluded garden. The cats are checked and cared for throughout the day. I am also happy to look after other animals –we have a parrot and two guinea pigs on the books as well as the cats. I am an animal lover and have kept animals, including dogs, horses and birds all my life. I can assure you that your cats will be well cared for while you are away and looked after as if they were my own.’

As animal lovers we know that going on holiday and leaving your pet behind can spoil the excitement of going away. Well, while you are away we will provide your cat with its own holiday break in the country. Whilst there is no place like home, we can say that many of our customers have commented that their pets have not been grumpy when they have been collected and so appear to have been quite happy with their accommodation. Our location provides an ideal service for pets across Yorkshire and we operate a collection and delivery service covering a wide area. Please contact us if you would like us to collect your pet from you before you go away.

Our check-in and check-out times are between 8.00 and 10.00am & between 4.30pm and 6.00pm daily although we are flexible around this as long as we have made prior arrangements. Our prices start from as little as £7.50 per cat per day.

We also offer a pet portrait service with portraits available for you on your return. You can visit our pet portraits page for more information.

We would be delighted to hear from you and, of course, we are happy to discuss individual needs as we know every pet is special. You can telephone us, or use our website contact form to get in touch.
