At Shangri-Paw Cat Hotel, we've reimagined cat boarding.
Founded by Kerstin Schulze, who has years of experience in cat rescue and even veterinary nursing, our mission is to provide a comfortable, low-stress environment for cats when their owners travel.
We saw that traditional boarding often meant cramped cages failing to meet cats' needs. So, we decided to instead focus on spacious rooms, expert care, understanding feline behaviour and implementing Fear Free™ techniques.
This commitment to excellence has helped us become one of the most trusted names in Singapore, even bringing us mainstream media coverage.
Media Recognition
We were recently featured in a segment on CNA’s “The Business of PAWrenting” mini series. The piece, aired on national TV and available on YouTube, showcases our unique approach to cat boarding.
CNA's team explored our facilities, from our spacious rooms to our themed suites, and spoke with our founder, Kerstin Schulze, about Shangri-Paw's mission.
They even caught up with our happy clients, highlighting the positive impact of our care on both cats and their owners.
But why the attention on Shangri-Paw? What makes us what we are?
Spacious, Cat-Friendly Accommodations
Our rooms are designed by catification experts Little People Woodworks with cats' natural behaviours in mind.
We offer various options suiting different budgets and stays — from comfort rooms for short visits or single cats to luxury suites for extended vacations or larger cat families.
Each space provides ample vertical territory, essential for cats to thrive and feel save.
Again and again we observe how quickly cats adjust simply by calling a room their own home and letting us visit them, instead of being taken out in a common space that is full of new smells and sounds for interaction time.
Expert Care from Trained Staff
Our team is educated in using a Fear Free approach in all their cat interactions and use low-stress cat handling techniques.
This specialised knowledge helps us recognise and mitigate anxiety in cats, ensuring more comfortable stays.
We provide personalised attention tailored to each guest, including playtime, grooming, and companionship catered to their preferences.
Medical Care and Special Needs
For cats needing medication or special care, our experienced staff can administer oral medications, provide subcutaneous fluids, and even offer palliative care when necessary.
We partner closely with local vets and vet nurses to ensure all medical needs are promptly and professionally met.
Regular Updates for Peace of Mind
We understand leaving your cat is stressful. That's why we provide regular WhatsApp updates with photos and videos of your cat during their stay.
Some rooms even offer CCTV access, allowing owners to check in on their furry companion anytime.
Our Impact on the Industry
As the best luxury cat hotel in Singapore, we strive to raise standards in the cat boarding industry.
By showing that cats thrive in more spacious, enriching environments, we're encouraging other facilities to reconsider traditional boarding methods.
Our fear-free practices are also setting a new benchmark for reducing stress in boarding situations. This focus on emotional well-being, alongside physical care, is a significant step forward in the industry.
We also encourage owners to check if the boarding facility of their choice is AVS licensed and approach home boarding options with great care as they are usually operating without licences.
Final Thoughts
While mainstream media recognition is gratifying, our true measure of success comes from the cats and owners we serve.
The positive feedback we receive from clients, some of which was captured in the CNA feature, reinforces our commitment to providing exceptional care.
We invite you to experience Shangri-Paw Cat Hotel for yourself and book a free tour. Whether you're planning a vacation or need a safe space for your cat during home renovations or prior to relocation, we offer a solution that has earned the trust of cat owners across Singapore.
