About Us

Snug Cats is located in Aldavilla, only 10 kilometres from Kempsey CBD. It is owned and managed by Maree Hayes who has had vast experience over many years with a wide variety of animals. She developed the idea of a luxury cattery because of her predicament in placing her own much loved cats when she ventured away from home.

Snug Cats caters to individuals and their cats. As there are only 8 apartments, flexibility is very achievable when dealing with clients’ needs. With more than one cat, owners have the option to take 2 pens if available as sliding windows allow access to both pens.

Snug Cats provides a unique service in the Macleay Valley to provide an exclusive feline retreat catering to a niche market of cat owners.

The facility contains 8 luxury apartments which can accommodate either single or double stays. Each apartment consists of dividing walls with thick safety glass windows drastically reducing any possible contamination between the cats.

All cats can observe each other safely.  Double apartments can be made available for families with interconnecting windows.

You can tell Maree loves her job and your cats as much as you do.

What a brilliant place for cats! From the moment we pulled up I could tell that this was the right place for Pebbles while we were away for 10 nights. I was apprehensive about leaving her anywhere for such a long period of time but I will not hesitate to board her here again. When Pebbles was a bit apprehensive of coming out of her hiding spot because she could see another cat- Maree picked up on this and blocked part of the window and Pebbles came out happily. The photos and updates are reassuring and myself and my daughter loved getting them.
The cattery was spacious, clean and smelt amazing ( no litter smell)

Maree is definitely someone you would leave your precious loved one with and not worry while you’re gone.

Great place to stay beds are amazing and the view well better than my back yard! Some toys to keep you entertained if you are a little active during the day even a little music to feel at home. Love the touch of sending us a photo or two didn’t realise how much we are truely a family and I’m sure if Lola was able to be left some technology she would switch if off with the selfie back from Miah missing her that she would do. Truely a holiday from one teenager obsessed with me 😻

Excellent cat boarding accommodation

Our two Burmese, Oscar 12 and Alfie 2 were very well cared for over the Christmas period at this excellent cat boarding accommodation. The air condition apartments are a generous size and well appointed. Felt comfortable leaving our fur balls in Marees caring hands. Will happily take them there again.

Fabulous cat accommodation

So pleased I found this excellent accommodation for my cat, Ruby. Spacious and well set out apartments with air conditioning to keep them comfortable in the hot weather. Anyone looking for boarding can be assured their cat will get the best care by the lovely owner, Maree.

Great place for your furry family!

Wonderful place for our little kittens. It was recommended by a friend and we are extremely thankful. Maree is a lovely helpful lady and we cannot thank her enough. Because her access is not suitable for our caravan Maree very kindly agreed to meet us at Greenhill.

Luxurious accommodation for cats

My 11 year old cat, Timothy, has never been away from home but had to go to Snug Cats for 16 nights while we went on holidays. He was happy and settled within an hour of leaving him...I will definitely leave him there again.

Luxury Boarding for Cats

Wonderful accommodation for cats. Very luxurious with every apartment being a different theme. No cages but windows between pens. I felt very confident about leaving my cat there and knew that he was being cared for in the manner to which he was accustomed.
