Paws in Te Puna is a cattery and pet boarding service at 31 Te Puna Quarry Road in Te Puna, Western Bay of Plenty, which the website describes as a home away from home for pets. The cattery is built around individual enclosures at least 3 metres long and 1 metre wide, designed with advice from a vet. Each enclosure has ramps, an inside space, sneeze guards, privacy screens and levels, and an outdoor run where cats can sun themselves and watch birdlife. Options include large double runs for cats from the same family, and runs that can house up to six cats from one family. A new multi-cat cabin is open for social, vaccinated cats from different families, with no minimum night stay. Every enclosure is cleaned daily, and bedding is scrubbed, sanitised, de-fleaed and laundered between guests. Cats must be up to date with vaccinations, healthy and sociable to join the multi-cat cabin.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 to 10:00 am and 4:00 to 6:00 pm, with appointments outside those hours carrying a $25 charge.
