Meet Sandie

A lifelong love of animals, now a home for yours

Sandie Gold opened Puss Inn Bass because she couldn't find anywhere she'd trust with her own cats — so she built it herself. What started as a personal passion for animal welfare has grown into a genuine, hands-on cattery where every guest gets to know Sandie by name, not just by cage number.

It's the same love and attention she gives her own animals, now extended to yours — a place built as much from the heart as from good design.

The Accommodation

A home away from home, made for cats

26 individual indoor units, heated and cooled

Your cat gets their own private space, climate-controlled year-round — never shared, always comfortable.

Aromatherapy for a calm environment

A gentle, soothing scent throughout the cattery helps even anxious cats settle in fast.

Secure outdoor decking overlooking the dam with birdsong and sun

A safe, enclosed spot to sunbake, watch the ducks and enjoy the fresh Gippsland air.

Toys, games and daily enrichment

Playtime, puzzles and one-on-one attention keep curious cats happy while you're away.

Our Location

A short drive from everywhere you're headed

We're at Woolamai Hills in South/East Gippsland — about 100km south-east of Melbourne, right on the route to Phillip Island. Read more about our location →

What Our Guests Say

Loved by local cats
(and their humans)

"The only place you would want to leave your fur baby while you are away"

Claire

"Our cat was at Puss Inn Bass for two weeks. The place itself is gorgeous and new. Sandie clearly cares a lot about her charges, giving us daily updates and pictures. We were able to visit but when this seemed to upset our cat, Sandie let us know and this enabled us to make a better decision about visiting him again. I highly recommend!"

Angie

"Sandie was welcoming and really looked after Roxy. We had regular updates via text message and we could tell that Roxy had loved her holiday at Puss Inn Bass"

Sharon

"Sandy has looked after my assorted animals over the last 5 years while I travel. They have been well cared for and as for her own pets they are treated like Royality"

Carol

"Sandie has brought her dream to fruition ...great attention to detail, inspired by her genuine compassion and love of Animals"

David

"Our 2 cats spent New Years with Sandie and I cannot fault her service. We received regular photos with messages which was fantastic to keep in touch and know they were ok. Sandie is passionate about the care she provides and my cats will be regular visitors"

Helen

"Could not recommend Sandie and Puss Inn Bass enough! Our girl Sasha was so spoiled and well looked after, it was such a comfort to know she was in great hands. I would recommend Puss In Bass to anyone who wants the best accommodation for their little friend!"
