ABOUT US

Paul and Vanessa Wilson love animals so taking on the Deloraine Cattery feels like second nature to us. Paul grew up on a farm and Vanessa has always had cats and dogs as part of the family.

We have three daughters, Isabella (15 years), Mia (13 years) and Kaia (7 years) and one son Harlo (4 year) whom we want to share our love of animals with. What better way then to have them learn through one-on-one supervised interaction.

We have a tabby cat - Blaise, and Raffy, a little white maltese house dog. Both were welcomed baby additions in Christmas 2015. Don't worry Raffy loves cats, playing and sleeping with Blaise. He stays at the house, because although he loves cats, they don't feel the same way about him. And as cats are already under-stress from their car journey and change in environment we don't want to add to that.

Paul and Vanessa derive their income from both the Deloraine Cattery and the Deloraine Cottage. It has been a goal of ours for a very long time, to get to the stage where our property can support us financially while we care for our four children.

If you need temporary accomodation or have family or friends needing accommodation, we have a lovely 3-bedroom cottage available for rent.

It has been wonderful to be home and have the time to contemplate the important things in life. Vanessa is following such a path of spiritual awakening and helping others to self-heal through Quantum Healing, Reiki Energy Healing and Guided Meditations. For more information visit her website Guided Healing.
