This little gentleman has declared his new spot... Just look at that face… there will be no negotiations. 😂🩵

Our cattery guests have been busy doing what cats do best… eating, exploring, getting plenty of fuss and, of course, sleeping like they pay the mortgage! 😂💤

Because a holiday isn’t just for the dogs… our cattery guests deserve some VIP treatment too! 👑🐾
Just look at these three little beauties enjoying their Hillside stay! 😻
