​How Much Does an Auckland Cattery Cost?
How much you should expect to pay for cattery services depends upon the length of time you need your Cat to be cared for, whether you want it in a communal or private room, and whether you have one or more cats. The rates will vary between catteries, but the following is a general guide:
- Communal room 1 Cat – around $20 per day
- Private room 1 Cat – between $30 and $40 per day
- Private room 2 Cats - $50 to $65 per day
- Private room 3 Cats - $70 to $90 per day
How Can I Get the Best Price for a Cattery Booking?
- Book in Advance – remember that catteries and boarding kennels will be busiest during school holidays, public holidays, and the festive season when people are more likely to be away from home. It’s not a case of the best price but making sure your cat gets a place - catteries do get full, and the ones left over can charge what they want to desperate cat owners.
- Look for Discounts – if you are away in the off-season, when catteries are largely empty, look for a discount as some offer cheaper rates off-season.
- Stay Local – local means fewer miles to travel, and therefore makes it easier and cheaper to travel to. After coming back from a flight, do you really want to drive across Auckland to collect your cat?
What to look for when choosing a cattery
Know This - A Good Cattery Will Outline What is Required from You, and the Services they Offer, such as:
- They will check your cat has up to date vaccinations

- Ask around friends, family, and colleagues for recommendations
- Visit the cattery before you make a final choice and check you are happy with the facilities;
Popular Questions and Considerations to Ask When Choosing an Auckland Cattery
- Make sure you are happy that the premises are clean and well-maintained
- What are the daily feeding routines, and will they suit your cat?
- How long has the business been in operation?
- Ask to meet the person who will be looking after your cat, and how much time will they spend with it?
- Do they have an emergency vet to access, and how does the re-charging or billing work?
Once you have all these questions answered and are comfortable with the cattery, you should be happy to leave your cat in their trusted care while you're away from Auckland.
