Our History

In 2012 the business formally known as Aldencroft Cat Motel, which had traded for the last 45-50 years, was rebranded.

At the beginning of 2016 the previous facilities were demolished and were completely rebuilt opening on the 1st July 2016. The cattery facilities were designed to the former New Zealand Boarding Kennel and Cattery Association Standards to provide a spacious, safe and secure environment for your pet.

Purr-fect Retreat Cat Motel was AsureQuality approved in 2017 and was proud to be featured on the AsureQuality website as one of their Profiled Pet Boarding Premises. In October 2018 AsureQuality discontinued their Pet Boarding programme and accreditation, however we still endeavor to meet these high standards of care.

Owner Operators

Hi Cat lovers, unfortunately I am having to sell the cattery, cancer has got to me and with the treatments my immune system is compromised and I can’t risk any infection, so finally retirement. If you want a modern 4 bedroom home and Nelson’s top Cattery, get in touch. Regards Gavin & Dallas.

Medication.

Where appropriate must be clearly labelled with cats name and veterinarian instructions. Surcharge for administering of medication is base on case by case. There is no charge for adding Meloxicam/Metacam, Redipred etc or crushed tablets to food. Remember a cat will act differently in the cattery than at home when being encouraged to take medication. $3 per day surcharge for giving medication orally directly to the cat and/or thyroid cream to ears. $5 per day surcharge for two insulin injections.
