Located near Hillcrest and Durban, our cattery is surrounded by lush greenery, offering a peaceful, natural environment designed specifically for feline wellbeing.
More than just a cat hotel, Gillitts Cattery is a considered, low-stress retreat where your cat can rest, observe, and feel at home.
We provide Hill’s Science Diet™ cat food, with the option for owners to bring their cat’s preferred food to maintain routine and comfort during their stay.
We share photos or videos via WhatsApp on request, so you can check in on your cat while you’re away. This is typically limited to one update per week depending on availability.
Our cattery in Gillitts is set within a quiet, natural environment, featuring warm, comfortable bedding and multi-level spaces that allow cats to relax at their own pace.
Each cat receives personalised attention, with daily monitoring and cleaning carried out twice a day to ensure health, comfort, and hygiene.

We do have freezer facilities for the storage of frozen cat meals. However, we ask that the meals be provided in separately portioned-sized containers so that we can distribute them with ease. Additionally, please ensure that the package is labeled with your cat’s name and feeding instructions.
