Welcome to Anima Boarding Cattery



Our Cattery's name originated from the Latin "Anima de Cato" which literally translates into "Spirit of Cat". Michael and I originate from the United Kingdom where we were also involved in animal welfare and the comfort of domestic animals. We registered the name "Anima" originally in the United Kingdom.


We are very aware that every cat arriving at Anima is someone's very special pet and is treated with the extreme kindness and respect that all animals deserve. We try to do our best to put our pussycats at ease whilst out of their home environment. They are our "V.I.P's". Very Important Pussycats.


Pauline and Michael currently have 5 rescue cats of their own and you will see them scampering or lazing around in the pretty gardens surrounding the cattery.

What our Owners Say

Lynette du Plessis
Pauline and her staff show so much genuine love for the cats in their care. The cattery is kept spotless and the cats' houses and play areas are a "home away from home" for them. Pauline and her dedicated staff spend time, (daily), with each of the cats, giving them their undivided attention.

Isabel Kimble
This is honestly the best cattery I have seen by far. The cats have large enclosure with lots of space to move around and are not stuck in a cage. The care and attention given by Pauline, Blessing and Vincent is excellent and my Merlin always comes back looking healthy and happy, I would definitely recommend Anima to anyone looking for a cattery.
