Welcome to Barehill Boarding Cattery. Barehill cattery is situated 2 miles from junction 2 of the M5 and approximately 7 miles from Birmingham city centre, in Tividale and in the heart of the Black Country.

It is a purpose built semi outdoor cattery licensed for thirty cats and conforms to the latest Feline Advisory Bureau (FAB) standards. The accomodation comprises of full height chalets, fully insulated which are heated in winter. Each chalet has its own generous run, overlooking a large peaceful garden, where the guests can watch the wildlife.

There are three larger pens available for family groups of up to five cats. Should your cat become ill during its stay, we have a separate isolation pen available.

The boarding cattery is owned and personally run by myself, Maggie Cole. I am an ex registered nurse and have 30 years experience of cat owning, showing and breeding. I am able to administer medication and injections for example insulin for a diabetic cat.

All cats entrusted to me for boarding will be treated as though they were my own and I shall endeavour to make their stay with me a safe and pleasant experience. Veterinary care will be available promptly if the need should arise.

For more specific details on boarding, please refer to the boarding page.

This is also the home of Cmoncats, British Shorthair kittens. For further details, please refer to the kittens page.
