Your Cat’s Vacation Destination
Kitty Religion is a Japanese-inspired luxury cat hotel, situated in the leafy suburb of Craighall Park in the Johannesburg Northern Suburbs. Kitty Religion is the brainchild of two cat-loving parents (of both children and cats) who have dreamed of creating the perfect boutique accommodation for fancy felines, after struggling to find a suitable space for their own beloved cats close to the Northern Suburbs.
After a life-changing research trip to Tokyo, Japan to visit various cat cafés, the vision for Kitty Religion took shape!
Japanese-inspired doesn’t simply refer to a design aesthetic—it reflects a philosophy deeply rooted in respect for nature and a commitment to creating a harmonious environment. In Japan, cat cafés are a sanctuary where indoor spaces are designed to replicate the calm and serenity of the outdoors, giving cats a safe haven to relax, explore, and feel secure. At Kitty Religion, we’ve embraced this same philosophy to provide a nurturing environment where your kitty can thrive and feel at home—even when they’re not in their comfort zone.
Our indoor-only setup ensures that your cat is never exposed to the stress of the unpredictable outdoors, with its sudden noises, or unfamiliar surroundings. Instead, we provide a safe haven where cats can unwind, relax, and enjoy their stay without the pressures of open spaces that might feel overwhelming. Our design is centred around peace, comfort, and security, making it the perfect place for your kitty to feel at ease – so we bring the outdoors IN!
Our hotel features a stunning indoor atrium, with lush indoor-greenery that creates a natural, calming environment. Your cat will enjoy glorious views of the sky through our glass roof, bringing the outdoors in while staying safe and secure indoors. They’ll be able to watch the birds and soak in the sunlight during the day, and experience a cozy, reflective atmosphere at night when the glass ceiling becomes a warm, soothing mirror feature.
We’ve carefully designed the space with multiple levels, high perches, and soft furnishings to give cats places to feel safe and relaxed. Private rooms ensure that cats aren’t contending with the social dynamics of other cats, which can often be stressful—especially for territorial cats. If they prefer to hide and feel safe, we have closed-off spaces where they can retreat and feel secure. Interactive toys and multi-level suites keep your cat entertained and mentally stimulated, ensuring their comfort and psychological well being.
Moreover, we know that stressed cats are unhappy cats, so we’ve taken every step to make sure your cat’s environment is calm, controlled, and free from unnecessary stressors. White noise helps to block out sudden loud sounds, while our air-conditioning system ensures the temperature is always just right—because comfort is key.
24/7 Care and Attention to Detail: At Kitty Religion, we understand how much you care for your cat. That’s why we offer round-the-clock care for all our guests. Our hotel is part of our home, so there’s always someone on the property to check in on your kitty, cuddle them, and provide attention whenever needed. We do three water checks a day, and our team is dedicated to ensuring your cat’s litter tray is consistently clean and that they receive plenty of love and affection throughout the day and night.
Here are just a few of the reasons why Kitty Religion is the best option for your feline’s stay:
Luxury cat accommodation in a temperature-controlled (AC) environment, ensuring comfort all year round.
Peace of mind for purr-ents with our indoor atrium-style setup, where a glass roof provides a safe way for kitties to enjoy the outdoors without the risks.
A double-door system to secure even the most determined escape artists (because we know cats).
24/7 care and attention from the Robertsons, who live on the property and ensure your kitty’s comfort at all times.
Exceptional service with Royal Canin food, clumping litter for ultimate hygiene, and interactive toys to keep kitties entertained.
Multi-level suites for comfort, fun, and psychological safety—along with high-quality kitty furniture.
