Purr's Inn Cattery

Purr's Inn Cattery Purr’s Inn was a 5* luxury feline accommodation and service, located in Great Glen. Now closed.

Purr’s Inn is a 5* local boutique luxury cat accommodation and
service located in Great Glen, that means with a maximum of 8 suites we have the time to give our guests the one to one attention they deserve while you are away. Purr’s Inn suites are very spacious and airy, allowing up to 6 guests from the same family to stay together in
Interconnecting suites.

Our Story

Steve has now joined myself in running the cattery full-time. The picture above shows us with our certificates having just completed an advanced cat and dog first aid training course.

We have also won an award as the Best Luxury Pet Boarding Service in East Midlands from the Lux Pet Product & Services awards 2018.

After a career of almost 40 years as a PA, I decided that a change of direction was needed for my own health and well-being and that of my family.

As a cat-owner and cat-lover, I appreciated how important it is to know that your beloved pet is healthy and happy in a clean, safe environment when you go on holiday. I undertook some research into the cat-care industry and were astounded by the variation in the standard of accommodation in catteries that I discovered. I have now set up Purr’s Inn Cattery, a brand new luxury feline hotel situated in the heart of Great Glen in Leicestershire. The purpose-built suites were constructed by Pedigree Pens, a leading supplier of top class feline accommodation. Each suite is named after and features drawings by members of my family. Music which has been specially produced for cats is played and I believe that this has a calming and beneficial effect on my feline clientele. The suites are also pre-sprayed (with the human owner’s permission) with feline pheromone: this has also been shown to be naturally calming for the new arrivals. I post daily pictures of our guests on Facebook, WhatsApp or email so that the owners can keep in touch and enjoy their holiday, confident in the knowledge that their pets are safe and content in a clean, comfortable and caring environment.

Our clientele is growing, our feline guests have so far included Ragdolls, Maine C**n, Birman, Exotic Persian, Siamese, Bengal, Somali, Russian Blue, Longhairs and Shorthairs, as well as less exotic but no less cherished Tabbies. On arrival, new guests’ owners are asked to complete a short registration form which tells me about the guest. In this way I can cater for all personalities and different foibles, as well as specific health needs!

Many of our guests have returned for further stays and some have already made their next booking for one of the peak times of the year during the summer holidays, a sure sign that I am providing a top-quality service at Purr’s Inn that our guests and owners value and appreciate. One happy feline, Joe, will be arriving in July for another extended holiday. Owners Dave and Aileen wrote: “Left our Joe in Purr’s Inn Cattery and I’m pleased to say he had a great time. He was off his food for the first day and Sue persevered with different foods until he was feeding again. Wonderful care. We were kept up to date with regular photos...”

I feel that it is not just the cats who have benefitted from our Cattery; I feel that I now have lower stress levels and improved health too. The name of the Cattery is well chosen, for research suggests that the sound of a cat purring is not only a sign of contentment in the cat but is also therapeutic for people, and in particular can have a healing effect on human bones and muscle. Looking after my feline guests every day is a better way to spend my life than working eight hours per day at a desk!

After a successful Open Day in March 2017 which raised over £50.00 for LOROS, Steve and I opened our doors in April 2017. I now has a satisfying and fulfilling career which also gives me the flexibility to spend more time with my husband, children and grandchildren. For myself and Steve this change of direction has been life-enhancing and we are looking forward to celebrating our one-year Anniversary with Open Days on Saturday and Sunday, 21st and 22nd April 2018. All proceeds will be donated to the Leicester and Leicestershire Air Ambulance.

It all sounds purr-fect!
