Situated just three miles outside Bedford town centre in a quiet andrural environment in the attractive north Bedfordshire village of Clapham.

Boarding Your Cat

There are many reasons why you may need to board your cat. All of them personal and individual to you.

We are here not just for the good times and the holiday times but whenever you need support with your cat and a home from home.

For example, you may need to visit family in an emergency, or an older relative needs your support, you are moving house and wish to mitigate the disruption to your cat, maybe you have a health problem and need to know your cat is safe and cared for whilst you recuperate. Whatever situation you find yourself in, we are here to help.

We aim to make your cat’s stay happy and relaxing as well as stimulating.

We appreciate some owners are worried about leaving their cat in a Cattery, especially for the first time. Here at NAO Catteriesour experienced staff will do their best to ensure you have completepeace of mind- from your initial booking to collecting and taking your cat back home – that your cats are in safe hands.

You are welcome to come and view the Cattery prior to booking, please telephone us on 074111 36691 / 01234 965925 you can also email us on naoservices111@gmail.com to make an initial appointment to view.

We are open Monday – Saturday inclusive from 9:00 – 9:30am and 6 – 7pm for delivery and collection of your cat. However, you can, of course, call us during normal working hours.

We are closed on Sundays.

Although you are, of course, welcome to bring items from home to help your cats settle in, from favourite blankets and comfy beds to toys and scratching posts, please be aware that indoor space in the pen is limited.

Each cat receives lots of individual time and attention. Our staff are animal oriented and offer playing, brushing, fussing, whatever makes your cat happy.

Regular updates can be sent to you via text message or WhatsApp. Our Facebook page is updated regularly. You are also welcome to contact us for an update on your cat during normal working hours, please respect the time difference if you are abroad.

We are happy to say that cats usually adapt to the daily routine quickly, which gives them comfort and confidence. They are fed the diet specified by you so there is no change from what they have at home, which also helps to make their stay a happy and successful one.
