Opening Times (By appointment)

Accommodation

Cats are housed in separate spacious, insulated and individually heated wooden chalets. The purpose built , 6ft full height chalets, measure 3' x 3' with split level shelving and each has its own 6 ft. run. All chalet runs' open onto a safety corridor for the security of your cat. Runs have a cushioned 'flexisoft' floor covering. Each chalet can accommodate up to 2 cats from the same family. For families of larger numbers, runs can be opened up to enable the chalets to become interconnecting and allow more space for your cats.

Heating

The heating in each chalet is thermostatically controlled and is provided all year round day and night. In addition, on colder nights, cats can be provided with a Snugglesafe heated pad in their bed which will keep them warm and snug for up to 10 hours.

For further information about this product please go to the Snugglesafe website below.

Feeding Adult cats are fed twice daily and older cats and kittens to their own individual requirements. Dry foods including Hills 'Science Diet', James Wellbeloved and Royal Canin are catered for.  We supply all feeding and water bowls. Please note that diets prescribed by your vet will have to be provided by the owner.

Beds Comfortable beds and ‘Vet Bed' fleeces are provided for your cats comfort, but owners may bring their own pets bedding with them if they wish. This may help to settle the cat(s) in.

Cleaning All chalets and runs are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between occupancies using an animal friendly disinfectant.

Terms & Conditions

Vaccinations - All cats must have a valid certificate of immunisation against Feline Influenza (Feline Calici Virus (FCV) & Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR ) and Feline Enteritis (Feline Panleukopenia (FIE ) . All vaccinations need to be boosted annually.

Please bring your certificate with you, as your cat cannot be accepted without it.

Health - All cats must be neutered. Cats will be examined on arrival and the proprietor reserves the right to refuse admission to any cat showing signs of ill health pending the advice of a veterinary surgeon. Unlike many catteries, we are happy to take in elderly or diabetic cats and we take the greatest care. But we would point our that for some cats coming into a cattery can be a stressful experience. This in turn can have an adverse effect on certain cats especially the elderly, sick or diabetic.

Insurance - Cats boarded at the cattery are covered by Pet Plan Insurance. Please note if your cat comes into the cattery with a pre existing condition they will not be covered by this insurance.

General - Whilst all possible care and attention will be given, cats are boarded entirely at the owner's risk.

The proprietor of the cattery has the owner's authority to the extent the proprietor considers necessary and at the entire cost of the owner to seek treatment by a veterinary practitioner, including visits by such practitioner to the cattery, the administration of medicine, anaesthetic and surgery.

Deposits are non refundable.

If insufficient notice of a cancellation is given the owner reserves the right to charge the full boarding fee.

Unless by prior arrangement, all deliveries and collections will be made during cattery hours.

Booking - Early booking is strongly advised particularly for holiday periods. Bookings should be made by telephone and confirmed by the booking form which will be sent to you for completion and return with your deposit within 14 days. Please note that the booking is taken as a firm booking and must be cancelled if no longer required.

Longer term bookings must be settled by monthly account.

Transport - Owners are urged to transport their cats in an adequate secure basket or carrier between home and the cattery.

Parking - Please note that Moggie Minders Cattery is situated in a quiet residential road and your consideration when parking would be appreciated.

Home Feeding Service

A home feeding service is available. This service offers an alternative to the cattery and allows your cat to be cared for in the comfort of their own home. We call at your house and feed your cat including cleaning out the litter tray and bowls each time we call. We recommend a minimum of one visit per day. Please note that a visit lasts up to 20 minutes and is not intended to be a home sitting serivice.

Security - Having a home feeder call gives you the extra advantage of your house security being checked daily when you're not there. We also recommend using timers for lights and leaving the radio on to keep your cat company.

Safety - If you are worried that your cat will wander away whilst you are not there, we recommend keeping them secure and restricting their outside access but allowing them the run of your home. This keeps them secure and gives peace of mind to some owners who have tried other home feeding services only to find their cat has been roaming looking for their owner or feeding in their neighbours homes!. Please note that this is a personal choice for any cat owner, as you know your cat best and we will always be happy to follow your decision.

Health - If your cat becomes ill while you are away we will take your cat to your vet to seek veterinary care. The owner will be liable for the entire cost of treatment by a veterinary practictioner.

Home feeding daily rates - Prices start from £9 per visit. Owners are required to supply food and litter. There are currently 4 feeders available. Please telephone to see if we cover your area. You will normally be assigned a feeder who is nearest to you. Rates at Christmas and New Year will have additional charges.
