Our Boutique Cattery – An In-Home Cat Paradise

Nestled in a secluded, sun-dappled country setting, surrounded by whispering woods and the gentle hum of nature, our boutique cattery offers an unparalleled in-home luxury experience for your cherished feline companions.

This is more than just a boarding space—it’s a private retreat dedicated exclusively to the comfort, safety, and happiness of cats. Designed to be peaceful and serene, every guest enjoys cozy hideaways, sunny nooks for lounging, and gentle daily care tailored to their needs.

While running the largest asbestos consultancy in New Zealand from 2012 to 2022, we frequently traveled between New Zealand and our home in Naples, Florida. The challenge of boarding our beloved cats during those years highlighted a gap in luxury cattery services.

This inspired us to create something extraordinary: a boutique in-home cat retreat offering unmatched comfort and care. Our three-bedroom guesthouse has been fully renovated to provide a tranquil sanctuary, surrounded by nature, where cats can feel truly at home.

Our History

Guest house

Upon arrival, an inviting informal greeting area welcomes both cats and their owners—a cozy space to relax, get to know us, and gently introduce each feline to their surroundings before they settle into their own slice of paradise. Whether they seek the adventurous views of the rustling woods and wildlife or prefer the embrace of a velvety bed, every moment here is designed for their happiness, comfort, and contentment.

Lionheart Estates offers a luxurious haven where your cat will enjoy personalized care in a serene setting, ensuring they feel truly at home. This is more than a cattery—it’s a place where comfort and elegance meet, treating every cat like royalty, with the premises maintained with round the clock oversight.
