Your cats comfort and safety is our priority

cattery imageOur cattery is a purpose built facility catering for cats, our pens are extremely spacious and have different levels allowing cats space to play, toilet and relax.

You have complete peace of mind knowing that the cats are cared for by professional, caring staff.

Over and above the care from the cattery staff, a veterinary nurse will visit the cattery daily, and any problems will be reported to the nurse. The nurse will address and problems or contact the duty veterinarian if a further opinion is needed.

We offer a range of foods, including freshly cooked food if required. Premium and prescription foods can be supplied too.

Your cat will get groomed during their stay, and we offer a nail clipping service too. Our cattery is a flea free zone, so all cats will be treated prior to entering the cattery to keep all our cats free from uncomfortable parasites.

Boarding

Our cattery is a purpose-built facility.

Our pens are extremely spacious and have different levels allowing cats space to play, toilet and relax.

We can cater for up to 2 cats in a pen (subject to availability).

We cannot accept unneutered cats that are over 1 year.

Why board with a Vet?

Giving you complete peace of mind

sleeping catBeing away from home can be stressful for your cat. Having the peace of mind of professional people caring for your pet can ease some of that stress and identify and treat any problems immediately.

This gives you complete peace of mind that your cat is in safe hands:

  • Any problems with your cat during their stay will be recorded and reported to the duty veterinary nurse during daily cattery rounds.
  • A veterinary nurse check of your cat should the nurse be worried during the daily cattery rounds.
  • A FREE veterinary surgeon consultation and full veterinary health check should the nurse be concerned with your cat’s health.
  • Cats on long term medication can be treated and medicated in the cattery. Cats with hyperthyroid disease, renal disease, heart disease and several other diseases can be cared for by our staff.
  • Exceptional veterinary care should your cat require any further tests or treatments right next door at our adjacent surgery.
  • We make sure that all cats are flea treated prior to admission, making the cattery a flea free zone.

 

Extras

The following additional extras are available during your cats stay

Flea Treatment

Our Cattery is a flea free zone. All cats need to have a veterinary prescribed flea treatment applied on admission to the cattery. We provide either Stronghold or Advocate or you can bring your own veterinary product to apply on the day of admission.

Prescription Diet/ Special Foods

We can provide any prescription diet for your cat to eat whilst in the cattery. This is a cost over and above any regular cat food. These include Hills/ Royal Canin and Purina veterinary diets.

Premium or Home-Cooked Food

We can provide cooked chicken breast, white fish, prawns or delicious Lily’s Kitchen. This can be done as a once off treat during their stay, or every day if preferred. Just let us know.

Nail Clipping

Our nurses can clip your cat’s nails whilst they are with us at the cattery. This is provided at a reduced cost to cats boarding with us.

Collect & Return

We offer a collection and drop off service from our Village Vet Practices. This needs to be arranged with the cattery, and and we can then arrange a drop off and collection time from a practice.
