Cat boarding

PLEASE NOTE: BAWCS Shelter and Sanctuary will no longer be offering pet boarding services for the general public effective 1 February 2024. We sincerely thank all of our clients for their support for our organisation in the years we have been offering boarding to generate much needed income.

If you are an agency with a client in need, please email [email protected] with your requirements.

BAWCS cat boarding facility is located approximately 20 mins North of Bendigo. We provide a safe, secure and caring environment for your cat whilst you’re away from home.

Your cat’s holiday home is a split level condo with a scratching post or scratching board, and a raised bedding area. Each condo have their own toys and individual play time in our securely enclosed outdoor courtyard if they wish. We have a selection of bedding and cat igloos however if your cat has a special bed or blanket, you are welcome to bring it along to help them feel more settled.

Our facility is temperature controlled by a reverse cycle split system air conditioner, which will ensure your pet will be cool in summer and warm in winter. We also have heat pads in winter for those that need a little bit extra warmth.

Our cat boarding guests are fed a variety of premium dry cat foods including Hill’s Science Diet and Advance. We are happy to accommodate your cat’s special dietary needs, however you must bring along their food. Please note: we are unable to accommodate the feeding of fresh meat to your pet. This includes raw and/or cooked.

To ensure the safety of your pet, all cats must arrive in a secure and working cat carrier.
