Amenities and Rates

At Dawson Lodge, we understand the adventurous spirit of cats and the importance of providing them with an environment that balances stimulation and tranquillity.

Our secure cat enclosures are thoughtfully designed with full insulation and heating, ensuring year-round comfort for your feline companions. Featuring both indoor and outdoor areas, our multi-levelled enclosures are equipped with toys, nooks, and crannies, allowing your cat to indulge their natural curiosity, play and discover new heights in a peaceful setting.

Placements are subject to the team’s discretion, however, we do try our best to place cats from the same family together where possible.
