The Cattery
General
- Each pen is fully insulated, with thermostatically controlled panel heaters in the enclosed sleeping area, which also has two shelves, a cat flap and an opening window to the outside area. Another shelf here gives the cats a view of the quiet garden. Cosy vet bed and blanket will be provided, but guests are welcome to bring their own should they wish.
- We have seven full height pens, each large enough to hold two cats (from the same family), one of which is separate from the main area, making it suitable for the very quiet, elderly or nervous cat. We also have the facility to combine two of the pens, so four cats from the same family can be accommodated together.
- A scratch post and toys will be provided, but please bring any items that you feel will make your cat's holiday more enjoyable (but please note we are unable to accept responsibility for the loss or damage of any belongings).
- You are welcome to leave any grooming equipment with us for fuss time, but of course we understand some cats do not like to be handled and we will discuss your cat's individual needs and preferences before you leave.
- Low-level music will be played all day to create a calm environment.
Feeding
- Your cats will be fed twice a day and we provide a variety of foods. However all prescription and raw feed diets must be supplied by the owner.
Health and Well-being
- An up-to-date certificate of vaccination will be required on arrival. NO cats will be accepted without this and there will be NO exceptions as it is essential to protect the health of all cats staying with us.
- Additionally, all cats will be examined on arrival. Any cat showing any signs of ill health at this time will not be accepted. We rely on owners to disclose any past or present medical conditions at check in.
- Pens are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between guests. Daily charts of guests' behaviour will be kept: this enables us to spot any unusual behaviour at the earliest opportunity.
- Cat trays will be cleaned daily and poop scooped as necessary.
