Van Ness — Boarding Kennel

With six purpose-built cat chalets, Van Ness Boarding Cattery has a small-scale arrangement that is easy to picture: each chalet has its own run, and every pen has a scratching post. The chalets stand beside a garden, and the cattery describes its limited number of units as allowing staff to give each guest individual attention.

Van Ness is in Lower Stondon, a village within the parish of Stondon in Central Bedfordshire. The local settlement pattern is linear, with Lower Stondon having developed along its roads. That roadside growth is part of the village’s character; at the cattery, the individual runs and scratching posts are more immediate details to consider for your cat’s stay.
