Cat Boarding
Our 5-star boarding facility offers spacious, secure enclosures for cats, with daily monitoring and enrichment activities. We ensure a stress-free environment with temperature control and separate areas for shy or sociable cats. All boarders receive personalised care and attention.
Medication Administration
We provide professional medication administration for cats requiring ongoing treatment, including insulin injections for diabetics. Our staff are trained to handle prescriptions accurately, ensuring your cat's health needs are met with precision and compassion during their stay.
Special Diet Provision
Cats with specific dietary requirements can bring their own food, which we store and serve hygienically. We accommodate raw, fresh, or prescription diets, ensuring strict adherence to feeding instructions while maintaining nutritional balance and feline preferences.
Flea Treatment Advice
We advise on effective flea control, requiring all cats to be treated 48 hours before boarding. Our recommendations include prescription-only medications and Program, a vet-administered solution that prevents infestations without harsh chemicals, ensuring your cat's comfort and safety.
Neutering Guidance
Male cats over six months must be neutered before boarding. This policy promotes harmonious coexistence among residents, reducing territorial behaviours. We provide guidance on post-neutering recovery and ensure a calm environment for all cats during their stay.
