Each cat varies, but normally between 1 and 2 days, to completely relax. Those cats that visit the cattery regularly settle more quickly and it for this reason that we recommend selecting a cattery you feel suits you and sticking to it. Cats do find it unsettling to be using a different cattery each holiday. We know this because when cats have boarded elsewhere and return to us, they take longer than normal for them to settle. This means whenever possible plan carefully to ensure your bookings are made in time especially during the summer holidays, Christmas and the New Year.

At the cattery we play music that is specially designed for cats. This really does go a long way to helping them relax. We also use a selection of essential aromatherapy oils specifically beneficial to cats to encourage confidence, relaxation and reduce stress.

• The cattery does supply all of the above, although all bedding and toys are routinely washed and disinfected.
• You are more than welcome to bring your cat’s own bedding, toys and food.
• Bedding that smells familiar does help the cats to feel at home as their sense of smell is so sensitive that it is really an important requirement and strongly recommended.
• Toys are welcome, although we are not responsible for anything that may get broken during your cats stay
