The Cat Palace Team Know Cats…
The Chatswood Cat Palace started life in 1994 as a veterinary practice specialising in cat veterinary services. It expanded over the years to facilitate boarding and grooming services, with the boarding business being sold on a few years ago.
The Cat Palace is exclusively a cat-only environment, allowing your precious pet to feel comfortable and safe every step of the way, enabling a completely stress-free experience.

Meet Dr. Kim Kendall, Cat Vet
Meet Dr. Kim Kendall, Cat Vet and world renowned cat behavioural expert.
For more than 30 years. Dr. Kim has been a cat expert unlike any other, learning from cats as much as using her knowledge to keep them happy and healthy.
The result is The Chatswood Cat Palace, the North Shore’s premier cat grooming centre.

With over 30 years of experience in the grooming, treating and boarding of cats, we believe nobody is better suited than the Cat Palace and our wonderful team to make sure your cat – and you – are happy and healthy for many years to come.
When you really understand what make our feline friends tick, you simply feel compelled to offer the services you know they need in a way that sets them totally at ease and avoids any discomfort – and that’s how we came to be.
Cat grooming is quite unique. Most dogs, for example, will simply sit or stand and be washed, once they’ve been through it a couple of times. Cats, though, can be a completely different kettle of awkwardness and resistance.
This is where all those years of handling, treating and grooming come in very handy. Regular feline visitors now greet Kim and Fiona like old friends, and are happy to be soaked, soaped and dried like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
