Catsville is a long & short term boarding cattery situated at Healesville in the beautiful Yarra Valley 60 KM east of Melbourne.

Opened in 2002, the cattery was purpose built to provide a hygienic, comfortable and caring environment for your precious companion cat.  Our goal is to provide top quality care for all visiting cats. In a safe secure and loving environment.

I am Tracy Godkin, I have always greatly enjoyed the many cats I have been owned by over my life.



I am registered breeder since 2005 with Cats Victoria inc. and a member of Pet Industry Association of Australia

I wanted to run a cattery where I would be happy to leave our own cats.  Catsville will provide your cat with as much love and care as we are able.  This way you can go on your holiday or business venture not worrying about them.

As anyone who has visited the cattery would know I have Mr Charlie Foo, a gorgeous big Ragdoll cat (as pictured).  In 2005 I decided to start breeding Ragdolls and sharing the love these delightful cats are full off.  So if you are interested in the breed please check out the pages on the site dedicated to the cats.

The kittens born here are raised in my home (NOT in the cattery) to maximise the quality socialisation they will receive.

My cats were well looked after and didn't feel they needed to kill us when they came home for leaving them there. Always a good sign!

5 stars all round. The service cant be faulted and our Cat is always happy to be dropped off for a stay. Tracy gives us great feedback about how our Cat has spent the time and always informs us of any issues. Thanks.

We left our two cats with Tracy over Christmas and New Year for 10 days. It was the first time putting them in a cattery so we were very picky about where to put them and were not disappointed that we chose Catsville. Tracy is a cat lover through and through and went out of her way to ensure the cats felt as comfortable as possible. When we picked them up they were happy and we had no concerns that they had not had a great time. Highly recommend using Catsville for your beloved kitties - even if you need to drive out from Melbourne like we did!

Tracy is one of the most cat-loving people I have ever met, and a dedicated and professional cattery owner. My cats Wally and Misty are always happy to stay with her. They are so relaxed and content at the end of their stay. When I go to collect my cats, Tracy takes a little while to hand them over - as she is busy giving them a last-minute cuddle and they are busy smooching with her. When they first stayed at Catsville, Tracy observed that my cats don't like any meat except fish - I hadn't realised that. Each room has an upper shelf to sleep on, and an entrance to the lovely little elevated individual outdoor area attached. There is no adjacent boarding kennel to upset my cats with barking (they don't like dogs!) Tracy's home pick-up and delivery service is a big help at a busy time. The best cattery I have ever found for my feline family.

I was so glad I found Tracy. She took such good care of Rubit and James.

They are the love of my life and it was the first time I have left them in care and found them to be happy when I came back.

Tracy was so helpful. I will recommend Catsville to all my friends thanks again Betty

Fantastic! Owner Tracey is kind, professional, willing to accommodate personal needs, certain food, meds, bedding etc. V clean pens with balconies, cosy sleeping areas and a large area for them to play in (seperate times to others). Understands worried owners and looks after the kits the way we look after them!!! We have been taking our kits to Catsville for 5 years, wouldn't go anywhere else. Tracey is wonderful and we feel really safe leaving our kits in her care. She is patient with us and loving to our kits, as well as being vigilent with their care.

Tracy has always been fantastic with feedback. Every time we leave Lulu and Pedro it's like sending them to a home away from home. They love being able to look out at the farm animals and wildlife.

Tracy is a lovely caring lady and made me feel very comfortable leaving Snowball with her. Snowball has stayed in other catteries interstate, but I have never been given any feedback as to how she copes, until she stayed with Tracy.

We left Oreo with Catsville during our holiday this Christmas. We were nervous since this is the first time we left our cat with a boarding cattery. We were particularly concerned as our cat is an anti-social cat that does not even like a cuddle. Tracy is helpful and understood our concerns when we called her a few times during the holiday. Oreo is now back home and is as happy as before.

The Good:
The fact the cattery is next to the proprietor's house means that the cats are not left alone over the weekend.
The Bad:
None.

Tracy always looks after our cat Gilly as though he was one of her own. Our pets have been staying at Catsville for over 5 years now and we are extremely happy with all aspects of the cattery.

We left our two cats here while overseas for 5 weeks. We were worried to leave them so long, but they loved it. They had adjoining pens, and did not seem upset when we finally returned. I even sent a postcard to the cats and Tracey put it on the door, which I thought was cute. I rang her to check and she was really happy to hear from us, giving us the latest news of our beloved cats.

I used Catsville when I went away for three weeks and wanted to make sure that my cats were being well taken care of. Tracey, the owner was wonderful. She made sure she knew each cats likes and dislikes, gave them each time in the playpen and cuddles every day. Each pen was also a good size, and mine got a double pen for a bit of extra room. Catsville also offers a pickup/delivery service.

The Good:
It's small enough that the owners give your cat(s) enough attention and care
 

What is WOMO?

It's the best way to find out what businesses are really like before you use them.

All reviews are from real customers (we have several ways of checking) so you can find out which businesses care about customers and provide good service.
