Breeder prefixes and cat hotel names
500 cattery names, led by short breeder prefixes like Velour, Nocturne, Minou and Ashcombe and breed names such as Katahdin Maine Coons and Rosette Row Bengals. Boarding catteries and cat hotels get names like Cat Nap Inn and Knead & Nap Cat Hotel.
About cattery names
A cattery name does two different jobs. For a breeder it is a prefix: it goes in front of the name of every kitten from the cattery, so a kitten from Velour might be Velour Midnight Waltz on its pedigree. In Britain the word also means a boarding business, the place a cat stays while its people travel. This list serves both, and breeder names make up about four fifths of it.
Prefixes come first and they are short, one or two words with no need for the word cattery: fabric and gem words such as Velour, Brocade and Peridot, quiet night words like Nocturne and Vesper, cat words from other languages (Minou, Gattino, Koshka, Neko), figures from cat lore such as Bastet, Grimalkin and Pangur Ban, and estate-style names like Ashcombe and Larkmoor. Breed sets follow for Maine Coon, Ragdoll, Bengal, Siamese, Sphynx, Persian and British Shorthair breeders, each built on the breed's own traits: Katahdin Maine Coons, Mitted Paw Ragdolls, Rosette Row Bengals, Seal Velvet Siamese, Peach Fuzz Sphynx, Doll Face Persians, Copper Penny Brits.
The boarding names are the playful part: Cat Nap Inn, Knead & Nap Cat Hotel, The Scratching Post Inn, No Dogs Allowed Cattery. Place and family patterns such as Orchard Lane Cattery and Hollis Family Cattery work for either kind of business.
How to choose cattery names
- Registries put a limit on the length of a cattery prefix and turn down one that is too close to a name already on their books. Read your own registry's rules before you fall for a long name, and have a second and third choice ready.
- Say the prefix with a kitten's name after it. Nocturne Blue Danube and Ashcombe Sweet William sound right, while a long or punny prefix gets tiring by the third litter.
- A breed word ties you to that breed. Katahdin Maine Coons is perfect until you add a second breed, so choose a neutral prefix like Vesper or Larkmoor if your plans may change.
- Keep the jokes for a boarding business. Purrs & Pillows Cat Hotel makes an owner smile at the booking stage, but the same pun on a pedigree follows a show cat for life.
- Look for other breeders and boarding businesses near you with the same name, and for the matching domain and social handles, before you print anything.
Frequently asked questions
What is a cattery name?
For a breeder it is the prefix that appears in front of every kitten's pedigree name, which is why most are a single word or two. For a boarding business it is simply the trading name. Velour, Minou and Kestrelmoor are prefix-style names from the list, and Catnap Cottage and Tabby Towers are boarding names.
How long can a cattery prefix be?
Each registry sets its own limit, so there is no single answer, and shorter is safer. Most prefixes in this list are one or two words for that reason. Look up the current rules of the registry you plan to join before you apply.
Are there cattery names for a specific breed?
Yes. There are sets for Maine Coon, Ragdoll, Bengal, Siamese, Sphynx, Persian and British Shorthair breeders, such as Allagash Maine Coons, Cloud Nine Ragdolls, Snow Lynx Bengals, Lilac Mist Siamese, Suede Sphynx, Powder Puff Persians and Teatime Brits. A few names cover other breeds, like Archangel Blues and White Glove Birmans.
Can I be sure a name from this list is free to use?
No. The names are ideas only, and nobody has looked them up with any cat registry or business office. Confirm a name with your registry and your local business office before you use it.
