Provides natural views for bird-watching.
Don’t be put off by the “kampung” in The Kitty Kampung — it doesn’t mean your kitty will be cramped or sharing space with other cats. The “kampung” vibe actually refers to the layout of the cabins, inspired by our very own HDB houses. The two-room design is ideal for cats who like to hop in and out, or for those who prefer their litter box to be in a separate area from their living space (which, let’s be honest, most cats do!).
Each cabin also lets your kitty gaze out at the natural surroundings, perfect for soaking up some sunlight, bird-watching, or just enjoying the view. It’s a setup that keeps curious cats happy, with plenty of space to explore and relax in comfort.

In fact, the hotel is designed with their health in mind, featuring non-porous materials for easy cleaning and single-use soft furnishings to minimise any risk of disease transmission.

Choosing the right boarding service for your cat is a big deal, and you want to make sure your furry friend is comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Some boarding places have tiny cages, while others offer bigger rooms with shelves and cat trees. Cats love to climb and perch in high places, so it’s a good idea to pick a place that gives them room to move around and explore. If your cat is more of a couch potato, though, a cosy spot to nap is just as important!
The staff should be experienced with cats and know how to handle different personalities. Ask about their training and how they deal with things like stress, anxiety, or health issues. It’s also a good idea to check if there’s a vet on call, just in case anything goes wrong (touchwood!).
If your cat is picky about food, needs medication, or just loves extra playtime, you’ll want a place that’s willing to accommodate those needs. A good boarding service will be flexible and make sure your cat gets the individual attention they deserve.
Ask about their vaccination policy, what happens if a cat gets sick, and how they keep the place clean. A reputable facility will have clear protocols in place for both everyday care and emergencies.
Finally, think about how easy it is to book and how flexible they are with pick-up and drop-off times. Some places even let you do a trial stay before committing to a longer one, which can be super helpful if you’re unsure how your cat will adjust.
Most cat boarding services in Singapore require paperwork including a vaccination card with a valid vaccination that covers the duration of boarding, as well as a sterilisation certificate. Do double check with the cat boarding service if any additional documentation is required.
To help your cat settle into their new environment, pack a few of their favourite items, such as a pet toy, blanket, or scratch pad. You can also bring along a shirt with your scent, which may provide extra comfort while you’re away. Many cat boarding services in Singapore require these familiar items, and they’ll typically provide you with a packing list ahead of time to ensure your cat’s stay is as comfortable as possible.
While most cat boarding facilities provide food and water, it’s strongly recommended to prepare and label your cat’s meals in advance for the duration of their stay. This helps avoid any tummy upset or digestive issues. Be sure to pack some of their favourite food, treats, and kibbles to help lift their spirits as they adjust to the new environment.
Hiring a cat sitter can be a great alternative. A professional sitter will come to your home, feed your cat, clean the litter box, and provide some playtime or companionship. Some cat sitters even offer overnight stays for extra reassurance.
Or, if you’re lucky enough to have a friend or family member who loves cats, you can ask them to look after your pet. This can be a more personal (and sometimes free) alternative to boarding, though it requires trust and clear communication about your cat’s needs.
Jet off in peace with your furkids in good hands at the best pet boarding services in Singapore! Before you leave your cat, prepare some of these homemade cat food recipes and play dress up with these cute cat outfits. To stretch your dollar, sign up to be a part of Shopee’s Pawrents Club to enjoy monthly vouchers and member-exclusive deals to get the best bang for your buck for your pet supply hauls!
