About Us

Hello and welcome to Temple Cattery, Oxford’s only city centre cattery licensed by Oxford City Council and fully insured.

Founded by Claire and Susan Conway in 2012, Temple Cattery is a small family run business set up by animal lovers with a history of working with animals. At Temple, we understand that leaving a cherished pet with strangers can be a worrying time for both owners and cats alike. Therefore, we pride ourselves on the individual care and attention we can give each cat being a small cattery.

Situated near Cowley Temple, we are the only city centre cattery in Oxford making us truly unique. As well as standard boarding for cats, we also provide a pet sitting service at competitive rates. For all pricing enquiries please see the rates page.

During your cat’s stay, he/she will receive the all the fussing any pampered feline could wish for. We organise daily play sessions for the younger ones with a variety of cat-safety approved toys. For the older ones, a radio is available on request to provide some entertainment as well as brushing and stroking sessions.

BEFORE YOUR CAT ARRIVES

Please note, before any cat stays with Temple, he/she must be:

  • Vaccinated against feline infectious enteritis
  • Vaccinated against cat flu
  • All vaccinations must be carried out at least 10 days in advance of your cat’s stay
  • We politely request that if this is your first visit to Temple, certification must be produced to evidence vaccinations before your cat can board with us
Any prescribed medication will be administered via Temple during your cat’s stay as required. Furthermore, Temple have a continuing relationship with Oxford Cat Clinic who provide a 24 hour emergency veterinary service in the unlikely event of a resident needing immediate attention.
