The Rendezvous
is a luxury boarding cattery situated in a peaceful
location in Powys, just a few miles from the Shropshire border.
The cattery is owned and run by Leigh O’Connor. Leigh has been
involved with cats for many years having bred and shown Maine Coons and
been actively involved with various cat clubs. She works on the basis
that each cat is an individual, and has different needs, likes and
dislikes. Some cats enjoy lots of physical contact – stroking, grooming
etc; some love you to play with them whilst others would rather be left
in peace. Leigh aims for each cat in her care to be relaxed, happy and
comfortable and for owners to be able to go away from home knowing that
their family pet is safe and well cared for.
The pens at The Rendezvous are extremely spacious and the largest can
accommodate families of up to four cats with ease. Bird feeders are
hung outside the windows and the residents can sit on their shelves and
watch the wildlife. Toys are provided and the radio is always on in the
background. Heated beds are used if it is a bit cold and for cats that
are elderly or a bit frail.

At The Rendezvous we offer only good quality, branded cat food – for
example Whiskas, Felix and Kit-e-Kat tins and pouches along with James Welbeloved, Iams and Whiskas Complete dry food. If your cat is on a
special diet you can bring it with you and be assured that your feeding
instructions will be followed. We have a large freezer for storing food
if your cat is fed a fresh meat diet.
Although we provide them, we do encourage owners to bring any beds,
blankets or toys that their pet is particularly attached to, as the
scent of home can be comforting.
All cats coming to stay at The
Rendezvous must be vaccinated and a valid certificate produced on
arrival. Leigh is experienced in administering medication including giving
insulin injections, so if your cat has a chronic, non-contagious
condition you can rest assured that any medication regime is maintained.
Should a cat require veterinary attention every effort is made to
contact and use the cat’s usual vet. If that is not possible we are
lucky to be very close to an excellent practice.
