Jovelles Cat Motel was established in 2005 and is managed by Terry and Chris Merritt. Terry and I have been breeding cats for more than 35 years so with this knowledge and experience, we designed and built our small, specialized CAT ONLY boarding facility.


Background

When we first began breeding cats in Townsville, we had lovely Persians. Eventually, British Shorthairs came along to join the crew and by combining these two breeds, we ultimately began breeding Exotic Shorthairs [or shorthaired Persians].

In late 1994, we moved from Townsville to Toowoomba, bringing with us just a few cats as we had no plans at that time to continue breeding. We didn't figure on our daughter gifting us a lovely chocolate Burmese "Spud" who was instrumental in enticing us to breed these wonderful cats.

Since living in Toowoomba, we purchased 6 acres of semi-rural land on the outskirts of Toowoomba and it is here that we decided to branch into the boarding of cats.

Some of the babies that have been born here at Jovelles.


What do we offer?

As I mentioned, we are a small boarding facility that caters to CATS ONLY. Our visiting furr-persons stay in self-contained private units, large enough to bring items from home such as favourite beds, scratching poles and more.

Each unit has two different height shelves to allow our visitors to get exercise as well as relax up high, which is usually their favourite place. We also offer the use of an outdoor exercise yard for those wishing to exercise more in the outdoors.

There are solid walls between the units so that there is NO CONTACT between visiting felines. This is important both from a safety perspective as well as for health and well-being.


***Latest News***

The NEXT SCHOOL HOLIDAYS will be here before we  know it. If you need your precious furr-person/s cared for during those times, you will need to be quick as units book out quickly.

CHRISTMAS 2022 - as of JULY 1st, almost no Christmas spaces left but we do have January space - get in quickly though.

Generally, January dates will be more readily available but again, it pays to book early. Please call with your proposed holiday dates and we can check availability for you.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS - GENERAL

It is good to book as early as possible if you are planning a school holiday getaway. We DO NOT charge extra at holiday times - our rates are the same all year round.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES AVAILABLE

We offer some additional services for your precious furr-person. Do they need nails trimmed? Grooming - clipping (limited availability), bathing / blow dry etc. Just ask as we are happy to carry out additional services should they be required.

WHAT CAN I BRING WITH MY CAT/S?

Generally, there is sufficient room for you to bring a bed, blankets etc, perhaps a folding chair, scratching post, toys and more. Your furr-person may like some familiar things around him/her but remember that the more you have in the unit, the less room your furr-person has to exercise.

OPENING HOURS

We open MOST days of the year with regular hours being:

7-9am and 3-5pm all year now

We can usually cater for hours outside of these but they MUST be negotiated with us well in advance please.
