Our little Piccolo was so well cared for
 “Just to say thanks again for your wonderful care of our little Piccolo,
she's in fine form - obviously so well cared for while we were away.”

— Jill Stevenson
Quality Care for Senior Cats
 “In our experience this cattery is second to none. Our 16 year old furry daughter spent a week there. Upon our return she was in excellent condition, weight and only took about 20 minutes to settle in at home.
At other catteries we have got her back underweight, in poor condition and with colds.
The facilities at the Selwyn cattery are modern, warm and more importantly clean.
Thanks Ruth for taking good care of Molly while we were away and going the extra distance.
We have no hesitation in recommending your facilities and will definitely utilise the cattery again.”

— Blair Anderson

Personalised Care in a Cat Hotel
 “Right from the moment I called and spoke to Ruth on the phone she was fabulous and I knew our kitten York would be well looked after, we have just picked her up and are incredibly greatful to find her happy and well! We thought the place looked like a cat hotel from the website and it definately is! We feel Ruth and Steve went over and above to accommodate our furry family member and can't thank them both enough! Will be recommending to our fellow cat owners and returning ourselves the next time our cats need a place to stay without us!.”

Caring for Your Pampered Princess
“A big thank you to Ruth for her care and attention of to our fur-baby Isobella (Ragdoll Cat) whilst we had a week's holiday.
It was super easy booking in, Ruth is friendly and prompt with her communications, and met all of ours and Isobella's needs.
Isobella emerged a happy cat , and looked better than when she went in!
The cat accommodation is brilliant - spacious, private and roomy for a pampered princess cat! And at a very reasonable price too!
We will definitely be back,
Lynne, Paul & Isobella.”

Comfort for Your Cat during Renovations
“Our cat Midnight, stayed at Selwyn Cattery for 5 months while our house was being renovated. Prior to her stay we were really concerned about her staying in a cattery for that period of time but had no other option. Ruth and Steve were AMAZING! She and her team took such great care of Middy and allowed us to pop in for regular visits (more for us than the cat! 😉). We couldn't get over how settled and happy Middy was during that time. She had a lovely room with a view and private patio - and especially enjoyed watching the local wildlife. We now have Middy back home with us and think she has come back even more affectionate and settled than before her stay. We HIGHLY recommend Selwyn Cattery for anyone looking for a safe, caring environment for their cat. We also valued Ruth's expertise and calm, reassuring manner that left us with great peace of mind we were doing the right thing for our cat..”

— Mandy Dempsey
Best cattery I've ever encountered!

— Jacqui Harris
They gave Gus a lot of care in our absence
“We left our cat with Ruth and Steve for 4 weeks while we travelled North America.
This was our first time taking our cat to a cattery and we were worried how he would cope considering the time frame. This cattery is brilliant! They gave Gus a lot of care in our absence and he was a very happy and healthy cat when we picked him up yesterday! Gus will be back next time we go away.Thanks again.”

— Brodie McPhail
Nothing is too much trouble
“They look after your fur babies as though they were their own. Nothing is ever too much trouble. When we were on holiday and I was worried about them, Ruth would take pictures to show me our pussycats were fine. They are very accommodating and I cannot speak highly enough of Ruth and her family.”

— Annette Orchard
Wonderful care of our old boy
“Ruth and Steve took such wonderful care of our elderly geriatric boy. Nothing was a problem. We would definitely recommend Selwyn Cattery.”

— Sheree Hubber

Peace of mind for owners
“Ruth, Steve & family have taken great care of our furry friend, she looked happy, healthy and definitely well loved by them. We appreciated all they did for us especially allowing us to visit once a week while our home was being repaired following a recent house fire. This was a very stressful time for us and Ruth & Steve reassured us and gave us peace of mind. We have recommended Selwyn Cattery to all our family and friends and we look forward to rebooking in the very near future.”

— Karen Breen
Gave me immense peace of mind
“Our boy Bolt was far too young to be left home alone. The team at Selwyn Cattery gave me immense peace of mind, while we were away. He may not know it, but he’ll be back there sooner than he thinks!”

— Jeremy Andrews
Quick response to enquiry
“A great cattery! We moved to Christchurch and were looking for somewhere good to look after our kitties. Ruth was very responsive and quick to respond to my initial questions via email. She was happy to spend time showing us around and answering our questions. Our two cats recently stayed for a couple of nights and were very well looked after. We will definitely be using this cattery again.”

— Stefanie Parks
We wouldn't go anywhere else
“This is the best cattery, hands down! Ruth provides such good care for our cat. We would never consider going elsewhere. The facility is always clean, it never smells and our big fat baby comes home very happy and content after his stay.”

— Sarah James
Ruth provided peace of mind with Meeko
“We chose Selwyn Cattery to take care of our kitten Meeko for a couple of weeks as our house was being repaired. I was nervous because this was Meeko's first time in a cattery, however, Ruth was fantastic and kept us updated with how he was getting on giving me peace of mind.

As we visited we found Ruth to be wonderful and so in touch with each cat that comes to stay, we felt Meeko was really well looked after and we will definitely be dropping our fluff-ball off for a future stay or two.”

— Sarah Gibbs
