Anogyra Cat Hotel: A Countryside Cat Boarding Retreat in Cyprus

If you’re flying out of Larnaca or Paphos and wondering where to leave your cat, tucked away in the hills of the Limassol district is a small, purpose-built option worth knowing about: Anogyra Cat Hotel. It’s exactly what the name suggests — a hotel just for cats, in the quiet village of Anogyra, about a 40-minute drive from Limassol town.

We come across a lot of questions from pet owners preparing to travel — whether they’re heading off on holiday, relocating, or helping us fly a rescue animal to a new home — and “who looks after my own cat while I’m gone?” comes up constantly. So we went looking at what’s actually available around the island, and Anogyra Cat Hotel is one of the more purpose-built cat boarding setups we found.

Where Is Anogyra Cat Hotel?

Anogyra is a small village in the Limassol district, roughly 7km north of Avdimou, reached via the A6 motorway (Avdimou exit, Junction 38). It’s a peaceful, rural setting — a world away from the noise of the coastal resorts — which is exactly the kind of low-stress environment that suits most cats far better than a kennel next to a busy road.

The hotel itself sits on Toichomenon Street in the village, close to the local museum of folk art. If you’re coming from Paphos or Limassol, it’s a manageable drive; from Larnaca it’s roughly an hour and a half, so it’s worth planning your route if you’re dropping your cat off on the way to the airport.

What the Suites Are Like

Rather than stacked cages, Anogyra Cat Hotel is built around individual suites. There are eight of them in total, giving space for up to sixteen cats overall (so two compatible cats — like siblings — can share a suite if you’d prefer they weren’t separated).

Each suite has:

  • A roughly 2m x 1m indoor room
  • A matching 2m x 1m outdoor area, so cats can move between the two freely
  • Heating and insulation for the cooler winter months, and shade to keep things comfortable in summer
  • A hedged boundary around the property, which keeps guest cats separated from any stray or wild animals wandering nearby

It’s worth being clear about one thing: this is a paid boarding hotel for cats whose owners are travelling, not a shelter or rescue centre for stray cats. If you’re looking to help Cyprus’s stray cat population instead, that’s a cause close to our own hearts — see our note on how we support stray cats further down the site.

Is It a Good Fit for Your Cat?

A few things make this kind of setup worth considering over a generic kennel:

  • Individual suites, not shared pens. Less stress from unfamiliar cats being in close proximity.
  • Indoor/outdoor access. Cats that are used to a garden or balcony at home tend to settle better when they still have some outdoor stimulation.
  • Village location. Quieter surroundings than boarding facilities near main roads or airports, which can help nervous cats.
  • Climate control. Cyprus summers and the occasional cold winter snap can both be tough on a cat left in an uninsulated space — this addresses both.

If your cat is elderly, on medication, or has specific anxiety around new environments, it’s worth calling ahead and asking directly how they handle those cases, and whether you can visit beforehand to see the suites in person.

Booking, Prices, and Contact

Pricing and availability can change, and the best way to get a current quote is to contact the hotel directly rather than relying on anything printed elsewhere online:

Ask about their terms and conditions before booking, particularly around vaccination requirements and cancellation policy, which is standard practice for any cattery on the island.

Before You Board Your Cat Anywhere in Cyprus

Wherever you end up boarding your cat, a little preparation goes a long way:

  1. Confirm vaccination and flea/worming requirements in advance.
  2. Bring familiar bedding or a toy that smells like home — it genuinely helps with settling in.
  3. Ask what happens in a medical emergency, and whether there’s a vet on call.
  4. Check the cancellation and late-collection policy before you pay a deposit.
  5. If you’re also planning ahead for your own travel with a pet, our guide to airline pet policies is worth a read before you book flights.

And if boarding isn’t an option and you’re instead trying to bring a cat with you when you fly from Cyprus, our page on becoming a flight parent explains how that process works.
