Helen Dyball My kitty Gracie spent a few weeks at Kitty Kaya before she could join me in UK. I was so happy with the wonderful care and love she received and am eternally grateful. To know she was safe and looked after so well was a great comfort to me. I can’t recommend Kitty Kaya enough. Thank you Pauline and team."
Thank you so much for taking such good care of Charlie. I was shocked when he went to you and not us, when we came to fetch him. That tells me how comfortable he was with you. He was very happy to be home, of course, but there was no crying or complaining (like he usually does after we’ve gone away). I’d be completely at peace leaving him with you again. I cannot thank you enough. Linda Naidoo
Just wanted to let you know I lost Ash yesterday after being my companion for 19 years and we went through so much together. Ash only stayed with you twice but I was so taken by your kindness and concern for Ash which was much more than I expected from a cattery. I knew when she was with you, she was having the best care. Thank you.

I just wish to say thank you for looking after my two angel cats, Sugar and Spice, when I had to go down to Natal. As we had such a bad experience at another place the last time I went away, I was anxious to board them. Visiting you beforehand, and reading the hints on your website really put my mind at ease and I felt comfortable leaving them at Kitty Kaya knowing that they would be safe. They both settled back into their routine quickly (though Spice had a lot to say that first evening). Thank you once again. Kathleen Hall
I recommend this cattery as it is by far the best you can find for your cat.
Pauline is so loving and caring, she took care
of our cat before she needed to move out of the country and took care of all
the paperwork and also took her to the vet herself for a last checkup.
She is an incredible human being i can’t thank
her enough for her precious help in the whole process.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of our kitty Bean during this past long weekend. She came home so relaxed, which we have never seen before. We could see, from the moment we saw her as she came out to greet us with her tail held high, that she was a happy and content cat in her little home away from home. Your attention to detail with each cat is amazing, providing a daily report for each, never mind taking care of each cat’s needs personally.
We were very impressed with the cleanliness of each unit at Kitty Kaya, the peace and quiet around your garden and the comforts you provide of all your residents. We are now finally able to enjoy our holidays much more knowing that Bean will be very well taken care of in the future.
Our thanks once again for the wonderful job you do for our very special fury friends.
Kind regards

Thank you for looking after Bella with such loving care and concern. She had such a wonderful time at Kitty Kaya, and was her old self from the moment she came home last night, even with her new Basset puppy sister and the 3 children eagerly greeting her back. You and your team are doing excellent work. Many thanks" Leanne, Nieks and Bella Bezuidenhout
My two cats were relaxed and happy after their short stay at the new Kitty Kaya. They were pampered and spoilt by Pauline, and settled into the homely environment. From Cheryl
We stumbled upon Kitty Kaya by accident but soon realized we had found the most excellent place. At Kitty Kaya our cat Salim gets the best possible treatment and any misgivings about his health or wellbeing are taken exceedingly seriously. We feel really confident when we leave him there and best of all is that when we pick him up again, he looks healthier and his coat shinier than ever.

Shy little Shiro, One of our own family! Sadly passed away, Nov 2019. RIP precious boy!
As we look back, the changes and impact that Kitty kaya has had on many people’s lives has been phenomenal: Lynette & I were fortunate enough to meet Lavender the day we came to fetch out highly stressed out Jasper. This resulted in Lavender being re-homed, and she has become an inseparable part of our family and companion for Jasper.
I personally believe that the feline creatures you care for are treated as good, if not better than patrons of any 5 star establishment. Bearing this impeccable level of service in mind, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to my friends, family, as well as to my vast client network.
May you continue to prosper in your venture, and may you always have the sun shining upon you. You are such special people, and deserve all the richest blessings this world has to offer you. I wish you every success in your eternal passion for our furry feline friends. Errol

We have left our two cats with Pauline and Leighton a number of times and are very happy with the loving care always given to Purdey and Astro. Once they are left at Kitty Kaya we can go on holiday in the full knowledge that the attention given to them by two dedicated cat lovers cannot be surpassed anywhere else.

We enjoyed our short stay at Kitty Kaya. A home from home experience. Pauline was the purrfect kitty caterer and carer. Loving purrs from Jellytot and Pixie
