About us

At Cats 'n Clover we are dedicated to providing your cat/s with a warm, safe comfortable holiday whilst you do the same thing! Anything that we would want in a cattery for our own cats, we provide in our cattery for yours. Cleanliness, comfort and your cat's wellbeing and happiness are our main objective. Rest assured we are a cattery only: we do not board dogs, so your little friend will not be stressed out by barking canines!

Cats 'n Clover has been established since 2003, and current owners Sue Meredith and Ron Davis took over in February 2007. We live on-site, and the cattery is managed by Sue, with help when required from Helen, a champion cat breeder for 25 years, Donna, who also volunteers at the SPCA cattery in her spare time, Kevin, Donna's husband, and Stephanie, a Hamilton Girls High student who loves cats to bits!

We are located in a lovely quiet rural setting, easy to get to as we are just four minutes north of both Flagstaff and Rototuna in Hamilton, and conveniently located on your way North or to the Coromandel. See our map for directions.

All cats boarded with us have their OWN individual unit; and only cats from the same family may share a unit. We do not have any communal areas; separate housing for temporarily boarded animals is recommended by MAF. 

There are now four different types of units for you to choose from, 'Indoor', 'Deck', 'Garden-view' and 'Deluxe'. See 'Units/Gallery' for descriptions of these. In the Summer holidays we also have 6 'Orchard' units - these are located in our house garden, separate from the main cattery. They look out to a stream with trees, pungas, and pukekos! Very spacious with room for up to 3-4 cats per unit. We don't use these in Winter as they don't have any power supply for heating. Perfect units for the outdoorsy guests who hate being inside!

We supply everything your cat will need, included in the daily price - we use quality Royal Canin and IAMS biscuits. We hold some other brands of supermarket biscuits also, just in case one of our furry pals won't eat 'the good stuff'!  Our guests are also offered wet food every morning - we supply Jimbos beef, and/or jellimeat. If your cat is on a special diet you are welcome to bring it along for us to feed to them. (But there is no discount for bringing own food).

We will also administer most medications for you, however insulin injections will incur an extra daily charge.

You may also bring anything you like from home, i.e own blanket, bed, toys, or even a piece of your clothing with your smell on it, sometimes this helps your cat to settle in more easily.

Our hours are:

Monday - Friday 8am - 10am, and 4pm - 6pm.

Saturdays, 8am - 10am only,

Sundays, 4pm - 6pm only.
