The Cattery
30 private homes,
built for cats.
Every cat at Howlish has their own indoor space with access to a secure outdoor run. Clean, calm, and designed around what cats actually need.
A Howlish stay
What a stay looks like
Everything your cat could need, taken care of.
The homes
Thirty individual homes, each with a warm, draught-free indoor space and a secure outdoor run. No crowding, no shared cages. Cats from the same household can stay together so they keep each other company.
Bedding
We provide first-class bedding as standard. Many cats settle in faster with something that smells of home, so feel free to bring a favourite blanket or bed.
Feeding
Cats are fed twice a day and kittens three times a day. We cater for all tastes and can follow special diets; just let us know your cat's routine and we will keep to it.
Grooming
A professional groomer can be arranged when you drop off, choosing from a range of services to suit your cat.
Staying in touch
On request, we will send you photos and videos of your cat while you are away, so you can see them settled and happy.
Health and safety
Every cat is examined on arrival, up-to-date vaccinations are required, and veterinary support is always available. You can read the full requirements on our Contact page.
Howlish Cattery
Where your fur babies feel at home
Set in a peaceful location in the heart of County Durham, the surroundings bring a calm that cats respond to immediately. Every home has its own indoor and outdoor space, fully enclosed and secure, so your cat can explore, rest, and simply be at ease.
