Care and Attention

The Three C's Cattery is the realisation of an ambition by the owners, who have loved and cared for cats for the past 25 years. Our aim is to provide the highest standard of cat care to the most modern specification and veterinary advice.

The enclosed brick building with a central courtyard is the latest thinking in cattery design, which provides total security with the essential air movement to minimise the risk of infection. The landscaped central courtyard provides a natural feature of permanent interest to our guests.

On arrival each cat will be inspected in our Reception Office. No cat suffering from or suspected of suffering from any infectious or contagious disease will be accepted. The Proprietors reserve the right to refuse admission to cats showing any signs of ill-health pending advice from a Veterinary Surgeon.

All cats must have current certificates showing they have been vaccinated against Feline Infectious Enteritis and Cat Flu. Booster injections, where necessary, must have taken place at least seven days prior to arrival. No booking is accepted without production of the certificates. No un-neutered Toms will be accepted. Owners will appreciate that the above strict rules are enforced to safeguard the health of all cats boarded.

Increased Capacity

A major extension to the Three C's Cattery was completed in August 2008.

The extension has significantly increased our capacity by providing the following additional accommodation:-

• 38 single pens
  
  
• 2 family pens

All the pens are of an ultra-modern design and look out onto a large landscaped central courtyard that provides a natural feature of permanent interest to our guests.

Some of the pens have been dedicated to provide accommodation for some of our guests who are with us on a long-term basis (whilst their owners are abroad and/or on business trips).

Health and Safety

Cats being the cleanest and most fastidious of pets, we assist them by providing meticulous attention to the daily cleaning of their temporary homes. All surfaces and equipment are of impervious materials allowing the maximum standards of hygiene to be maintained.

For maximum comfort each guest is provided with a thermostatically controlled heated sleeping cabin with a Vetbed cushion.

Each cat is an individual and we treat them as such. We try to make their stay with us as pleasant as possible. The Cattery being adjacent to the owners' residence means that it is under close surveillance at all times.

Guests are insured for treatment during their stay up to a maximum of £250 - including 36 hours from the time they leave the cattery.

The Veterinary Surgeon appointed by The Three C's Cattery is consulted whenever we consider it necessary. Any treatment will be paid for at the time and a receipt obtained from the vet will be added to the bill. If required we shall be happy to consult your own Veterinary Surgeon.

Feeding

All cats are fed as individual guests with a normal varied diet. If your cat requires a special diet then we will require this to be brought in when you bring your cat to us. There will be no extra charge for this service. Regular daily meal-times are strictly adhered to. Adult cats are fed twice a day, kittens and older cats according to their special needs.

Conditions

Only cats from the same home may share accommodation. We accept cats for a minimum stay of three days. No full Toms will be accepted.

At Christmas and Easter the minimum fee will be equivalent to seven days' boarding. A full day's board is charged for the days of arrival and departure. This allows our clients to chose times to suit them. A non-returnable deposit is required to secure your booking. The balance is payable on collection.

In the event of owners collecting their cat before the end of the booked period, the full charge will be made.

Reception and Collection

No cats can be accepted unless their owners or representatives of their owners accompany them.

Cats must be carried in a carrier or basket until released into their accommodation by a member of staff.
