About us
Years of experience
Over the years, Diana has bred and shown Siamese, Birmans, British Shorthair and Bengals. Cats are wonderful company and she understands their personality and needs. We pride ourselves on taking the best care possible of you feline friends during their stay. We are based in the lovely village of Kelston, just outside Bath, and close to Bristol.
Spacious chalets
Top Cat Hotel provides separate chalets for each cat. These chalets are twice to three times the size of those at most catteries. They have a separate bedroom at the back and front lounge area. The chalet is thermostatically heated to maintain a temperature comfortable for your cat. You are most welcome to view the cattery during opening hours.
Cats’ Health & Care
Please consider your cat before putting them in a cattery. We reserve the right to refuse cats that we don’t deem to be healthy or of a disposition where a cattery would not be the right environment for them. We only accept elderly cats that have boarded with us regularly and are accustomed to our Cattery. We will not take an old or frail cat that has not boarded with us before.
