Terms and Conditions for Boarding

1.    All cats 6 months and over must be spayed/neutered.
2.    All cats in our care MUST have a current vaccination certificate. If evidence of vaccinations is not provided before or on arrival, we reserve the right to refuse admission and cancel the booking. 
3.    Cats must be free of fleas before entering the cattery. We will administer flea treatment if fleas are evident. Flea treatments are chargeable to the owner at a cost of £16.00 inclusive of VAT (as of 6th April 2023).
4.    We advise that all collars should be removed prior to the cat's stay. Any collar left on is entirely at owners’ risk.
5.    Cat’s from the same household can be accommodated in one pen. However, if the welfare of any cats is affected (e.g. aggression shown between cats or cat eating the food of the other(s)) we reserve the right to separate them.
6.    If a cat is not collected one month after the agreed collection day, we have the right to assume ownership and seek re-homing. All additional boarding charges and costs involved will be charged to the customer and will be pursued in court if necessary.
7.    Owners must inform us at the time of booking (or as soon as condition known if after booking) of any medical condition or history that may affect your cats stay.
8.    We will happily administer prescribed medication (e.g. tablets, food additives and injections), however if we believe your cat requires specialist veterinary care, we reserve the right to refuse admission and cancel the booking.
9.    If a cat becomes unwell while under our care, we will attempt to contact your regular vet for advice. If a vet visit is required, we will use your regular vet if available and within 4 miles of our location (CR8 1DD). If your vet is unavailable or the distance is greater than 4 miles, we will visit a respected local veterinary practice. 
10.    We will charge £36 inclusive of VAT per hour (correct at 6th April 2023)  to facilitate any veterinary visits required for pre-existing medical conditions whilst in our care.
11.    All veterinary costs are the responsibility of the cat owner.
