catteries

Where cats stay

Catteries is the plural of cattery, a facility where cats are bred or boarded.

Breeding catteries raise pedigreed cats for sale.

Boarding catteries provide temporary housing while owners travel: We left the cats at a cattery during our vacation.

The word follows the pattern of kennels for dogs.
