Long Term Stays
30+ Days. Step down rates apply depending on length of stay.
Long-term stays allow us to build meaningful connections with each guest through gentle play, light grooming, and enriching activities tailored to their unique personality. It must be said that the two most crucial things we can offer your cat are our time and attention. Whether your cat is with us for a few weeks or several months, you can rest easy knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. At Hillcrest, we don’t just provide accommodation — we offer companionship, comfort, and a true home away from home.
Our purpose-built cattery is thoughtfully designed to support and encourage your cat’s natural behaviours. At Hillcrest, we specialize in non-communal care — meaning each guest enjoys their own private space to perch, scratch, climb, and stretch out. Our spacious outdoor runs offer peaceful views of trees, birdlife, and charming farm animals. With secure access to fresh air, sunshine, and the soothing sights and sounds of nature, every cat has the freedom to relax in safety.
