Our rates
To help keep costs down, we offer a free morning on the day of departure between 8 – 10.30am.
We reserve your suite for you as soon as your booking is confirmed. As we are unable to reallocate suites at short notice, we will bill you for those dates regardless if you pick-up earlier. We usually allocate one family to a suite, however if you would prefer that they be housed separately, please refer to single suite prices. For the protection of our furry guests, only cats from the same household are permitted to share a suite. A handy tip…you can use our Booking Enquiry Form to get an estimate of the cost of your stay for the dates and suite type you’d like.
Apartment (max.2) | Studio (max.3) | Penthouse (max.5) |

* The price above is for one cat. Additional cats are charged at $20/cat/night when staying in the same room.
There is a surcharge on all suites over peak and public holiday periods.
We have a 14 night minimum peak charge over the Christmas / New Year period, which applies to any dates between 20/12/24 – 5/1/25 , and a 7 night minimum charge over other peak holiday periods.
There is a minimum charge of 2 nights per booking.
How you can pay
Credit/Debit card payments can be made through our online booking system. We’re unable to process card payments onsite. We also accept cheque, cash or direct bank transfers. Account details are:
Bendigo Bank
Account Number: 129496824
BSB Number: 633-000

Wherever possible, it would be appreciated if customers making bank transfers make one single payment. Multiple partial payments often become difficult to track.
Feel like haggling?
We offer premium cat accommodation at affordable prices. Having larger spacious suites means we have fewer of them. If you’ve visited catteries before and compared us, you’ll know we’ve opted for quality over quantity. Most importantly, when you book with us you can be confident you’re getting the best value for money for your cat’s comfort and well-being. This is what earns us our client’s trust and their 5-star reviews. We believe our unique facilities are competitively and fairly priced, and respectfully thank you for not asking us to discount our prices any further.
We’d love if you chose to board with us; however, we understand some may prefer budget facilities and there are a wide selection of those available in the industry.
Extras
-
Purrfect Package
We offer extra cuddle and play time (approx. an hour per day) with your cat(s) in their suite. This package also includes twice daily wet and dry feeding (as required) and 1 set of photos per week (up to 3 delivered together). Price for this package is $50/day per room (for up to 3 cats), billed daily on top of standard boarding fees i.e. applied across full booking and cannot be selected for individual days only. This package needs to be requested at time of booking and cannot be added when dropping off, as staff time and rostering needs to be scheduled around demand.
-
Extra Meals
As part of the lodging service, we offer as standard, dry food throughout the day and one wet evening meal (e.g. one portion premium mince or one sachet/tin) per day. Additional feeding requires extra food as well as additional staffing to prepare and clean up. Accordingly, extra feeding will incur a surcharge of $5 per meal (per cat), irrespective if the food is provided. If you require this service, please specify at time of booking.
-
Medication
Medication administration (e.g. pill, ointment or injection) incur a surcharge of $5 per treatment. Customers should confirm if this is needed at time of booking, to ensure we’re able to accommodate appropriately. Please note, we administer medication providing your cat is amicable and does not present a risk to itself or our staff. We do not carry out medical procedures.
-
De-fleaing
We provide this service at a cost of $40 per application. This covers the cost of the product. If you provide your own product, we will administer it for a $10 fee.
-
Photos
Complimentary digital photos (a one-off set of up to 3) can be provided on request for stays over 30 consecutive days. However, for shorter stays, you may purchase photos at a cost of $40 per set (maximum 2 sets per booking, delivered via e-mail in a single batch, mid way through the stay). Please bear in mind, this is amateur photography, also working with sometimes uncooperative subjects, therefore all pics are ‘best efforts’.
-
Pet Transport
We’ve partnered with an independent Pet Transport Service and can offer a pick-up/drop-off service to most suburbs in the Sydney Metro area. Costs vary relative to distance travelled. Example is $125 to Sydney metro area (as at Jan 2022). Aragon Cattery do not add any charge for arranging this and fees are paid directly to the transport service at pick-up/drop-off. Contact us if you would like us to assist in arranging this service. Please note, we act on your behalf under ‘good faith’. In the event that you are uncontactable on the day that you requested transport, you will be liable for the full cost. This charge is payable directly to the carrier. The charge will be levied irrespective if the pick-up/drop-off was completed. A round trip can take up to 2.5 hours and incurs fuel and toll costs, which need to be reimbursed.
-
Extra Monitoring / Frequent Checks
Occasionally we are asked to provide increased monitoring for vulnerable or sickly cats. This requires additional staffing, therefore we may add a surcharge to cover the increase in wages. This will be based on the amount and type of extra care needed; additional cost will be communicated in your booking confirmation, assuming this was made clear at time of booking. If you do not advise us prior, we may not be able to accommodate the request, and if this results in a health risk to the cat, we may be forced to reject the booking.
-
Veterinarian
Should your cat require medical attention, we have partnered with a local 24hr on-call Veterinarian. We will admit your cat to the clinic should we feel it necessary and in compliance with our industry’s duty of care policy. We take all reasonable measures to inform you, the owner, that your cat has been, or will be, admitted. Aragon Cattery will charge a $50 transport levy per trip. Owners are responsible for all related veterinarian and hospitalisation costs.
-
Special Opening
The cattery is open by appointment between opening hours only. Should you need access to pick up/drop off your cat outside of our normal operating hours, this can be pre-arranged for a fee of $150 Monday to Saturday (excluding public holidays).
