Meet the Owners

At Cattery in the Country, we believe a cat hotel should feel like a calm, caring home — not just a place to stay. Our cat boarding facility is designed to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every cat feels secure while their humans are away. Caring for animals isn’t just what we do; it’s who we are.


Jeanne Nel has spent the last 24 years immersed in the world of cat hotels and cat boarding, having started her journey at her mom’s cattery. From weekend helper to hands-on manager, Jeanne has been involved in every part of feline care. Her deep understanding of cat behaviour allows her to gently settle even the most anxious cats, ensuring each guest receives individual attention, comfort, and affection.


Werner Nel brings over 12 years of animal-care experience, supported by a strong background in tourism, wildlife, and farm management. His practical approach and genuine love for animals help keep the cat hotel running smoothly, safely, and professionally. From maintaining a peaceful boarding environment to personally checking on each cat, Werner is dedicated to every detail of their well-being.


Together, Jeanne and Werner combine decades of experience in cat boarding and animal care, united by a shared passion for creating a trusted, high-quality cat hotel. For us, this isn’t just a business — it’s a true home away from home where your cat is cared for like family.
