At our cat hotel in Zekeriyakoy, Sariyer, your cat stays in a quiet, cage-free cat lounge — never a cage. What sets us apart from a typical cattery: the cat wing is fully separated from the dogs and kept quiet, so your cat boards without stress while you travel with peace of mind, backed by a 24/7 camera-recorded facility.

Cat Lounges, Climbing and Play Areas
Cats stay together with other cats in quiet cat lounges, fully separated from the dogs, with hypoallergenic litter. Indoor and outdoor play areas, scratching posts and climbing structures give them a safe space to satisfy their curiosity.
Cats are creatures of habit, so during the meet-and-greet we learn each guest's feeding routine, litter habits and temperament, and plan the stay accordingly. Private (VIP) Care: We are a social facility; our guests are hosted together with other guests. If a cat or dog placed in the social environment does not get along with the others, they are moved directly to Private (VIP) Care: one of the lounges is allocated to that guest alone and the daily VIP fee (1,500 TRY + VAT) is added to the boarding. Owners may also choose Private (VIP) Care from the start.
Our long-term (monthly) boarding service has been discontinued as it was open to misunderstandings. All stays are charged per night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do cats stay in the same area as dogs?
No. Our cat wing is fully separated from the dog section — quiet and calm. Cats neither see nor hear the dogs, so they board without stress.
Will my cat stay in a cage?
No. Cats stay together with other cats in cage-free cat lounges fully separated from the dogs, with scratching posts, climbing structures and indoor-outdoor play areas. We are a social facility; our guests are hosted together with other guests. If a cat or dog placed in the social environment does not get along with the others, they are moved directly to Private (VIP) Care: one of the lounges is allocated to that guest alone and the daily VIP fee (1,500 TRY + VAT) is added to the boarding. Owners may also choose Private (VIP) Care from the start.
Are litter and food included?
Hypoallergenic cat litter is included. To protect digestion we recommend bringing the food your cat is used to; otherwise we serve quality food available at the facility.
How much is cat boarding per night?
Cat boarding is 1,250 TRY per night + VAT. Private (VIP) Care is 1,500 TRY per day + VAT on top of boarding: a cat that does not get along with the others in the social environment is moved directly to VIP and a lounge is allocated to that cat alone; owners may also choose it from the start. Prices are transparent and the same for everyone.
Is a meet-and-greet required before booking?
Yes, a meet-and-greet is required before any reservation. We do not host physical facility tours; instead we show the facility live on 360-degree cameras during the meeting. The facility is camera-recorded 24/7.
Can I get updates about my cat during the stay?
We post weekly updates on social media. On special request we send personalised updates for a fee: 300 TRY per photo, 600 TRY per video.
What is the checkout time?
Boarding is billed nightly and checkout time is 10:00. Later checkouts may be billed as an extra night.
Do you accept unvaccinated or unmicrochipped cats? Can I leave a cat I rescued from the street with you temporarily?
No. Under Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry regulations we can only host cats that are fully vaccinated and have a registered microchip; we also do not accept cats that have not been neutered/spayed. We cannot provide boarding for newly rescued strays without a vaccination card and microchip, and we do not offer shelter or foster care either. Vaccination, microchipping and neutering/spaying must first be completed by your veterinarian.
