Clare is a highly respected breeder of Himalayan and Solid Persian cats. Her boutique cattery, Canterbury Tails, has been highly recommended for Australian Achiever awards for customer service & satisfaction for the last four years, blitzing the competition from vets, grooming services and pet shops around Victoria. Clare is also the Secretary of the Pedigree Persian Cat Club in Victoria, so she knows a good product when she sees one.
The enclosures are camouflaged perfectly in verdant surroundings, complimenting a landscaped courtyard featuring greenery, flowers, love seats, water features and an eclectic mix of tasteful outdoor furniture and sculptures. Each enclosure is a delightful home-away-from-home, providing comfort, interest and security for the most fastidious feline.
Looking after other people’s treasured pets is a responsibility that Clare takes very seriously. Catmax enclosures provide protection for cats and the native fauna. “It’s really important with the Council’s roaming rules that cat’s stay inside your own property from dusk until dawn, and are not out at night irritating the neighbours or killing possums and other wildlife.”The enclosures are camouflaged perfectly in verdant surroundings, complimenting a landscaped courtyard featuring greenery, flowers, love seats, water features and an eclectic mix of tasteful outdoor furniture and sculptures.

Clare is delighted with the result, because her dream was to provide cats with an idyllic yet safe ‘room with a view.’
“I wanted the cats to be able to enjoy their surroundings, to breathe the fresh country air, to observe birds and wildlife within the safety of a confined compartment,”says Clare. “That’s why I made sure I went with a reputable company like Catmax, which is known for its high quality netting.”
Canterbury Tails’ boutique-boarding-cattery is clearly Clare’s passion and she describes it as a ‘work in progress.’ She is constantly adding new bits and pieces to the impeccably clean surroundings such as soft toys, new furniture and comfy cushions, all decorated with feline friends in mind. When the cats get tired of watching the cricket on telly from the couch in the playroom, they can wander outside and explore safely in a Catmax enclosure, which has been built around the existing trees.“I wanted the cats to be able to enjoy their surroundings, to breathe the fresh country air, to observe birds and wildlife within the safety of a confined compartment,”says Clare. “That’s why I made sure I went with a reputable company like Catmax, which is known for its high quality netting.”
Catmax enclosures have contributed to Canterbury Tails’ theme of classy and cat friendly ‘cat-topia.’
