Transporting your cat:

Make sure you have a sturdy cat carrier of ample size and solid enough to prevent your cat from escaping, yet providing sufficient air and a good view. Line it with several sheets of newspaper, but not the bedding you may be bringing for use in the cattery as your cat may be sick or urinate during transportation. Cardboard carriers have poor ventilation, are completely insecure if the cat is determined to get out and may fall apart if made wet. It is wise to refrain from feeding your cat before travelling.

Until your cat is inside the cattery its safety is entirely your responsibility. Do not carry your cat in your arms to the cattery.

What to bring:

To help your cat settle in to the cattery consider bringing something that smells of home, such as an old towel, jumper or its basket. However, if your cat sleeps on your bed please do not bring the bed! Also, feel free to bring your cat’s favourite toy.

Book early:

Book as early as you can – particularly during peak periods – because the cattery is quickly filled. If you are planning to go abroad, please ask for a provisional booking. You can finalise the dates as soon as you finalise your travel details.

Delivery and collection times:

In order to provide quiet times for our feline residents and to give us time for cattery and house chores we are open at the following times:

Monday to Saturday: 9am to 10.30am and 5pm to 6.30pm (however, we will always try and accommodate your travel arrangements)

Please note that the cattery will be CLOSED ON SUNDAYS except for emergencies.

We would ask that inspection visits to the cattery and drop off and collection of cats is within the above times. We do understand, however, that this does not always fit in with your travel arrangements and will always try to accommodate you by prior arrangement.
