AHHH! 🎉 Mary Valley Cattery is a Gympie Chamber of Commerce | Business Support Business Award FINALIST!

This whole process started with you — our wonderful guests and clients. You nominated us and gave our business the opportunity to be part of something pretty special. ❤️

From there, we had to put together an application answering a whole lot of questions, which the judging panel then used to narrow the field down to the finalists. ⌨️

And now… we’ve made it to the next stage! 🎉

As finalists, we’ll head into an interview with a panel of four judges, who will ultimately decide the winner of each category. We’re absolutely thrilled to be finalists in the New Business Award. 💛

The standard of applications this year is exceptionally high — so much so that the announcement of the finalists was delayed while the judges worked through the field.😳
So, to have made the cut is quite an achievement in itself.

Whatever happens, we’re delighted to have the opportunity to showcase Mary Valley Cattery — our vision, our standards and the rather luxurious holiday experience we’ve created for discerning felines.

Thank you for getting us here. 🐾❤️
Now… wish us luck! 🍀

Just one of the many things that makes Mary Valley Cattery - dare we say - one of the best catteries/cat hotel in the world? 🌿🐾

Our beautiful location, of course! Beautiful rolling hills, native wildlife and stunning sunsets and sunrises, yet just 15 minutes from the highway.

Being a purpose-built boutique facility has allowed us to design the landscape specifically with our guests in mind.

🌿 Bird-attracting plants have been strategically planted so our guests have front-row seats to the daily bird activity.
💦 Multiple fresh bird baths are positioned front and centre, providing plenty of entertainment throughout the day.
🦘 And the neighbouring farmland means the occasional wallaby may wander by for a special dawn or dusk appearance.

We’re continually developing and improving our gardens, creating a haven for native flora and fauna — all for the benefit (and entertainment) of our discerning feline guests.

Because holidaying at Mary Valley Cattery isn’t simply a stay. It’s an enriching, feline experience. 🐈‍⬛✨

✨💕 A little Monday morning cat magic to brighten the start of your week💕✨

Here’s a little glimpse of some of our gorgeous guests currently enjoying their stay with us at Mary Valley Cattery. 🐾

We absolutely adore each and every one of them and every beautiful feline has their own personality, preferences and little rituals. 🤍

Dinkum loves her morning chin scratches.
Ashlee prefers to scratch her own chin — with the occasional helping hand from us!
Bean absolutely loves settling onto our laps for a leisurely brush and plenty of pats.
And Louis? He’s all about his morning zoomies! ⚡️

From quiet cuddles to energetic adventures, we make sure every guest gets the individual attention, affection and care they deserve.

Because at Mary Valley Cattery, it’s not just a stay — it’s a little holiday designed around them. 🌿🐈✨

A little glimpse into Dinkum’s morning routine with us ☀️🐾

At 18 years young, Dinkum is currently our oldest guest — although she certainly doesn’t look a day over 6!😻

Her mornings begin with a peaceful gaze out the window, keeping an eye on the birds. Then, of course, service arrives… 🛎️
Blankets and cushions are plumped, her litter tray is refreshed, and her daily medication is prepared with a special licky treat (because there’s no struggling with medication here!). 💊😋
After a little bite of breakfast comes a refreshing morning brush, followed by plenty of cuddles and adoration — exactly as this queen deserves. 👑💕

For our senior guests, these small routines matter. Consistency, comfort and close observation allow us to care for each cat according to their individual needs, while giving them the time and space to settle into their surroundings.

At Mary Valley Cattery, there is no rushing through a stay. Every guest is cared for as an individual, with their wellbeing, comfort and happiness at the heart of everything we do.

Because exceptional feline care is found in the details 🤍

A purrfect way to end the day! 😻🌅

We get some stunning sunsets around here, and sharing these evenings with our guests is one of our favourite parts of what we do.

This evening, Billy, Wolfie and Hoodie were joined by three butcher birds stopping by for a drink at the water fountain. Billy and Wolfie were completely captivated by their every move, while Hoodie—the wise patriarch of the trio 👑—was perfectly content to enjoy his dinner and the evening’s entertainment.

We’ve got another fan of the track tower toy! 🐾💛

We managed to catch a bit of little Louis’ morning zoomies session… he’s just too adorable! 🥹✨

And yes… this really was the song playing while he was racing around! 😹🎶 Between the beautiful gardens, wildlife, ABC Radio, and of course our gorgeous guests, there’s never a shortage of inspiration here.

P.S. We send out direct holiday photo updates, but our system doesn’t support sending videos. Would you rather see sweet guest moments like this as stories or as posts? We’d love to share them without overwhelming your feed—or making them difficult to find.

Our afternoons have been full of fun lately! 🐾 ☀️

We rotate toys throughout each guest’s stay and also choose toys we think they’ll love based on what we know about their personality. One toy that’s become an undeniable favourite is this tiered ball track!

Every cat has their own unique way of playing with it. Some bat the balls around, some roll around and play with it upside down, others pounce with enthusiasm, or poke curious paws through the middle to see what happens.

Ollie has his own signature style. He starts with a two-player game of batting the balls back and forth with us... until the excitement takes over! Then it’s all paws on deck as he wraps both front paws around the toy and takes the game into his own hands. 💛

✨Mary Valley Cattery Portraits #10 ✨

A warm winter welcome to our new followers 💕 and our existing cat guest families 💕

Winter seems to have started, and much like for us humans (or how we would like it to be) it’s the perfect time to snuggle in or lay in the sun and stretch out! Our holidaying guests certainly know how to relax at any point in the year 💤 ☀️

As always, when we go through our hundreds of images and add a bit of editing magic, we are constantly saying “awww, look at that face!”. So please, just look at all their adorable faces! 😹

Beautiful Sasha, with a whimsical green rug that perfectly matches his gorgeous emerald eyes that we could just stare into forever! 💚 We absolutely didn’t plan to coordinate the décor with the cat, but we can’t deny it’s a pretty purrfect match! ✨.
We love making all of our holiday rooms cosy all year round, but there’s something especially wholesome about wintertime. Out come the soft rugs, snuggly blankets, and plush beds, creating the perfect space for our guests to curl up, relax, and feel completely at home. 🐾❄️

✨Testimonial Time! ✨

As a small family business and passionate cat lovers, we spend a lot of time trying to spreading the word about Mary Valley Cattery — through our website, social media, online ads, industry connections, and every conversation along the way. But nothing carries more weight than a kind word from our wonderful guests’ humans.

Every review helps us grow — and growing means we can welcome even more beloved felines through our doors and continue to improve your cat’s Mary Valley Cattery holiday!

One of the joys of our job is watching our guests grow up. We’ve been lucky to know some cats since their curious, mischievous kitten days right through into adulthood — and beautiful Bob is one of those! 😸

Each cat who stays with us leaves a little paw print on our hearts. Whether it’s your first booking or your fifth, please know we’re always here if you ever have any questions or concerns.
