Welcome to our new page, formally www.thecathouselanzarote.com , now with a new name and a new site www.thecathousecanarias.com

The Cat House in Lanzarote is nestled into the mountainside overlooking the clear blue seas surrounding the island of Lanzarote and the beautiful house where the famous artist Cesar Manrique used to reside.

The location is tranquil and quiet, purrrrrfect for your four legged family member to stay, whether for a long or short periods. Maybe you are going on holiday for a week or 2 or returning to the UK and need your cat to wait the obligatory 6 month period after rabies blood tests; The Cat House is the ideal place to leave your pet knowing it will be cared for and loved during it‘s stay.

Sally-Ann Etheridge who runs The Cat House has owned and reared cats all her life and provides loving and knowledgeable care while you are away.

The specially designed pens have both indoor and outdoor facilities offering security and comfort for your pet, each pen is separated from it‘s neighbour with screens to avoid any cross infection, and each door opens into a safety run to avoid any escape attempts.

Every pen has an indoor area with shelf and comfortable bed, underneath is the litter trays, food and water bowls. The outdoor runs have both sunny and shady areas with scratching pads and sun shelves.

The Cat House has both single and double pens suitable for families with two cats, and even has a large pen suitable for 3 or more. The larger pens are also available if pre-booked for single cats who require that little bit of extra space and luxury.

Every cat is fed and cleaned out twice a day and regular changes of fresh water are provided throughout the day which, with Lanzarote temperatures in the summer reaching into the 40’s, are of the utmost importance.

The Cat House provides good quality food and litter and special dietary requirements can be supplied with prior arrangement.

Why not come and see us prior to booking ?

Sally-Ann also takes cats and kittens for the local animal charity which does amazing work with the animals of Lanzarote, the cats and kittens are available for adoption and can be seen in the cattery with prior appointment. Some of the babies come to The Cat House so tiny their eyes are not yet open and they struggle to suckle, with love and patience Sally-Ann has successfully raised and re-homed many litters of these ‘bottle babies’.  Check out our photo gallery for pictures of some of these special babies and cats waiting for their forever homes. Thomas the ginger cat on the Home page was a bottle baby and now lives with Sally-Ann and her ´pack´ he has acted as Papi to many a litter of babies, maybe he remembers being an orphan too.

It is a requirment that all cats, including the rescue cats, are fully vaccinated and flea treated prior to their stay at The Cat House, each cat should be accompanied by the relevant paperwork showing everything is fully upto date.

The Cat House in Lanzarote looks forward to meeting you and you fur babies in the very near future.
