- North Hill North Hill houses our stud cats in a separate building in the northern corner of our facilities. The building contains 10 floor to ceiling cages with attached outdoor runs separated fencing, a grooming room with two industrial sinks for grooming, a playroom area for the cats to interact with each other and their handlers, and a bathroom for the cats' human guests. All of the cat's cages and the playroom are stocked with food, water, toys, and beds.
- South Hill South Hill is an area in the main cattery building reserved for our queens and their kittens. This special place has 5 large floor to ceiling cages for the queens during late pregnancy and birth stages. The ajoining room is home to our retired queens and their kittens of up to 12 weeks of age. It does not contain cages, allowing the cats to roam free and socialize. An outdoor run is available to the cats 24 hours a day, except during cooler winter months. The "queen room" as we call it contains two industrial sinks for grooming and is stocked with food, water, toys, and litter boxes. It has the capacity for 10 queens and their kittens.
- East Hill East Hill is home to our female show cats from the age of 12 weeks up. It is part of the main building and consists of one large room with 20 small cages lining the east wall. The rest of the room is open and has an attached outdoor run. Our cats are put in their smaller cages at night and when they are being introduced into the cattery environment. There is a separate grooming room with four sinks for bathing and a human bathroom. Much of the room is filled with cat toys, bowls for food and water, and large litter boxes.
- West Hill West Hill was created to keep East Hill from overcrowding. West Hill is for neuters and spays and has the same configeration as East Hill with the capacity for 20 cats.
- Other Facilities Smoky Hill Cattery is also home to Hannah Connelly's house, which is separate from the main cattery building and a showing grounds, which includes the "Showing Center" - a large building which hosts Smoky Hill and LHA shows, and a small parking lot for visitors.
