Animal Care Centre Boarding Kennels and Cattery is a family-owned and operated establishment located in Mackay, North Queensland, set on a picturesque 15-acre hilltop property with stunning 360° panoramic views. The site has a rich history, having been utilized since the mid-1800s and serving as a boarding kennel since the early 1970s. In 1984, the current owners, driven by their passion for animal care, transformed the facilities into a modern kennel and cattery complex. The business has continued to evolve over the years, with regular upgrades and new facilities being developed to enhance the experience for both pets and their owners.
The Animal Care Centre prides itself on providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets during their stay. The kennels are designed to maximize the local climate, featuring cool and airy spaces with long, sheltered, and fully enclosed runs. Each dog has its own secure hutch for bedtime, ensuring they feel safe and cozy. The facility emphasizes individualized care, with dogs not mixed with others unless they are from the same family, allowing them to acclimate to their surroundings at their own pace. Daily playtime in spacious exercise yards ensures that each pet receives ample attention and activity, tailored to their needs.
In addition to dog boarding, the Animal Care Centre offers dedicated cattery services, with four separate rooms catering to both short and long-term stays. Each cat is housed individually, with the option for family cats to share accommodations if desired. The facility prioritizes the health and safety of all pets, requiring up-to-date vaccinations and providing a clean, secure environment. With a commitment to exceptional care and a deep-rooted passion for animals, Animal Care Centre continues to be a trusted choice for pet owners in the Mackay region.
