As you drive through the semi-rural suburb of Arcadia, under an hour’s drive northwest of the Sydney CBD, it can be challenging to stay on the road as you delightedly gaze at the rolling green fields and horses grazing along the fence line.
Then you reach Calabash Kennels and Cattery off Calabash Road - one of Sydney’s leading premier luxury dog and cat boarding facilities, a pet sanctuary away from the city life! When you survey the kennels nestled in the trees, you would be amazed to learn about the transformation the facility has undergone since being taken over by Linda Meumann nearly 20 years ago.
The property was overrun by scrubby bush - you couldn’t even see the dam, she said. There was a dilapidated shed, no fences, the kennels were rusting and there were only a couple outdoor play areas. Today, it’s a different story as Calabash Kennels and Cattery has developed substantially over the past two decades, also with the addition of a lovely cattery in 2005, and has a continuous high level of occupancy.

“I wanted to look after our four-legged pets in as best an environment as I could. Calabash Kennels and Cattery just happened!” said Linda. “The tranquility of our rural retreat enhances all our furry guests’ stays with wonderful enticing smells many would not have in the city.”
The Lodge offers 20 suites with two dogs in each room or single rooms can be requested. Accommodation ranges from the Lassie Suites, with a bed and television to the Toto Suites, with private outdoor play area.
Calabash Kennels and Cattery also boasts large, secure and supervised play areas with shade, small well-constructed play groups, caring staff and quality food.
Optional extra experiences include adventure walks, training, grooming, K9 Nose Work® (scent games) and a delightful swim in the dam!

Calabash Cattery is also a cat’s paradise. “When you enter the cattery, you hear the sound of water trickling and see palm fronds swaying in the breeze,” said Linda. “We offer three different rooms to tickle your feline’s fancy.”
“The cats feast on quality food and can receive extra human attention, plus regular Facebook posts and ‘tweets’ to keep their owners up to date wherever they are,” said Linda.
