Lytchett Royal Boarding Cattery was established in the year 2000 with 14 purpose built chalets (Royal Suite). It proved so popular that a further 10 chalets (Zorro Suite) were added in 2008. All chalets are built to a very high standard and conform with the Chartered Institute Of Environmental Health License.

All chalets have sleeping compartments with individually controlled heaters, this combined with inch thick insulation guarantees that all our guests are kept as snug as they would be at home, so their stay with us becomes as stress free as possible. Pampering our feline friends will demand and receive a high standard of hygiene and presentation.
