About Us

A message from Mark Stewart, owner

Here at Q's Cat Motel, our motto is "Cat-isfaction guaranteed".

Catherine and I love cats and decided to open a cattery to deliver the type of service we would expect Q to receive. He's our baby and we wouldn't put him in just any nursery if he were human, so why does he deserve less just because he's a cat? In fact, our aim is to be recognised as one of the best catteries in the Scottish Borders!

We looked long and hard to find the right location for our cattery. We finally found our perfect house on the edge of Ayton, a small village in the Scottish Borders, located just off the A1 near Eyemouth and 10 miles from Berwick Upon Tweed.

We are about 250 yards from the A1, giving easy access to the cattery. The location makes us ideal for dropping off your feline friend(s) before heading off on your own holiday. Parking is available beside our house.

As we knew we didn't want wooden units, we used Pedigree Pens to build the cattery and decided on the 'penthouse-style' to maximise the space. The cattery has been built in our garden, and is split into two blocks. The larger block consists of eight double penthouse-style pens with one isolation pen and a smaller block consisting of three penthouse-style pens and a small office. Further landscaping is scheduled for this spring and we hope you'll visit us when the flowers start to bloom.

We've attended Feline Advisory Bureau (FAB) cattery construction and management courses and have received FAB Listed Cattery status.

We chose to call our cattery a "Cat Motel", as we want to treat your cat's time with us as his or her own little holiday!

We would love the opportunity to look after your feline family.

Please call us to arrange a suitable time to visit our cattery.

Catherine, Q and I would like to thank The Cat Clinic for all of their advice and assistance during the last year. Aileen and her colleagues were always willing to answer questions and posted the progress of our cattery on their website.

Q would especially like to thank Aileen for taking care of him when he was first diagnosed with his kidney problem. Q recommends The Cat Clinic to all of his friends and their owners as the clinic is dedicated exclusively to cats their knowledge is second to none. Take a look at their website, www.catclinic.co.uk, for further information.
