Charlie Martin
Co-Owner & "Crazy Cat Dad"
Charlie has over 15 years in the Travel industry, and over 20 as a Cat Dad, and so has regularly experienced first hand when he was flying the difficult position you are in when travelling.
When taking a contract working in Melbourne, and opting for a cat sitter, his cat Gin got so distressed at his absence, that she ran away. To this day, Charlie still thinks she went looking for him.
Working as a Travel Consultant now, he regularly meets clients in the same situation, and realised the opportunity and need for such a service to exist.
As a self proclaimed Crazy Cat Dad, it is his little dream to spend his days caring for and playing with your fur babies.
"Cats are the best people."
Emily Austin
Co-Owner & "Jill of all Crafts"
As a child, Emily tried to name her first cat Sarah, after one of her friends, resulting in her Mum saying it was a bit weird; a very early diagnosis of 'Crazy Cat Lady' syndrome. Ultimately she called her Ginger and has been cat obsessed ever since.
She's a 'Jill of all crafts' that loves to make crocheted toys for her 2 kittys, and craft anything cat related. Emily derives so much joy in 'catting around' with her babies just playing and exploring, much to the detriment of her knees.
Every morning starts the same way for Emily, with two cats sat by her head pawing at her face, waiting for her to go for a walk and circle of the perimeter to ensure all is well with the girls.
Charlie said 2 cats in the house is enough for now, so Emily keeps her kitty cravings at bay by looking after, caring for and playing with your fur babies.

Our story
As proud cat parents and avid travellers, we know exactly how it feels to worry about your fur babies while you're away. Every time we planned a holiday, we were torn between the excitement of adventure and the stress of leaving Evie and Stitch behind.
The truth is, we found the usual cat boarding options heartbreaking — pigeon-wire cages with barely any stimulation, or letting a stranger into our home to "cat sit" while we were gone. It just never felt right, and we knew our cats deserved so much more.
That's why we created The Purrfect Stay.
We wanted to build a five-star hotel and spa experience for cats. A place where your feline friend isn't just safe but genuinely happy, pampered, and loved while you're away. A place that offers you complete peace of mind, knowing your cat is in caring hands.
We've designed every suite with love, creating a stimulating, hygienic, and cosy environment with plenty of vertical play and tactile surroundings. Soon, we'll even have cameras so you can check in on your kitty whenever you miss them (because we know you will!).
Because honestly? All we want in life is to play with aaaaall the cats.
Meow for now,
Charlie Martin & Emily Austin
