Our Story
Cedar Lodge Cattery is based at the home of John and Tania Reardon, which they share with 4 children, 4 horses, 2 ponies, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. Their home has been in John’s family for generations, but John started breeding horses in the 1990’s and kept horses at Cedar Lodge from 1998. All animals are part of the family.
John’s extended family are also heavily involved with the lives of the pets at Cedar Lodge; one of John’s nieces, Fiona, is a vet, specialising in small animals, having accumulated work experience with Clare Meade of The Cat Hospital in Glanmire, Co. Cork. Another of John’s nieces, Lisa, has worked as a Veterinary Nurse and is now working in a large pet-product retailer while continuing further education, and with the rest of the family, has a particular love for cats. Both Fiona and Lisa will make up part of the team at Cedar Lodge to ensure that your pet is lovingly and professionally cared for during their stay with us.
The idea of Cedar Lodge Cattery arose from the strong attachment to animals, with a desire to share the benefit of space in an idyllic country setting with like-minded people, who put the care of their pets before themselves!
As we have only recently opened, and having gone through the bulk of the construction over the recent long winter months, we are adding to our Gallery regularly. Please take a look through our gallery to see our purpose built cattery; as genuine animal lovers that have put the well-being of the cat at the heart of our development
