All Cats MUST have current up-to-date vaccination certificates which must be presented on arrival.  Cats cannot board without an up to date vaccination card against Feline Infectious Enteritis, Feline Leukeamia and Cat Flu.   

​

We are often asked about the 'rules' for cattery vaccinations. 

​

• If cats are are routinely boosted every year, they are able to enter the cattery immediately after their latest vaccination has been completed.​

• Kittens are vaccinated at around 8 & 12 weeks of age with 2 seperate vaccinations, they must wait 14 days after the second vaccination before entering the cattery.

• An adult cat that has lapsed their routine vaccinations, will most likely be placed on the programme of 2 vaccinations at 3-4 week intervals, same as kittens,  and must wait for 2 weeks after the 2nd vaccination before being able to enter the cattery.​

​

Animals should be flea and worm free.  We ask that they are in good health and up to date with any worm/flea treatment regime that you have in place.  We would recommend that you treat your animals prior to their arrival at the cattery.

​

All male cats over 6 months of age must be neutered.  

​

Cats are accepted for boarding at any age, as pens are designed to accommodate both agile, and the not so agile pets. 

​

Due to our rural setting, we are happy to board all breeds of cats, including Siamese and Bengals.

Our Terms and Conditions together with the booking form are available to download below - just click on the link.  Please ensure you read through our full terms and conditions before completing the booking form as they are part of the legal agreement between our two parties.  Please ensure booking form is completed in full including all necessary details.  We reserve the right to refuse any booking.  

​

Minimum booking period is 3 days (2 nights).  Charges apply for each 'day' of your cats stay (therefore this includes the day of arrival and the day of collection).  Animals not collected on the agreed date will be charged additional for every day/part day that they stay with us.   Collections are only available during our normal opening hours.  Please pay particular attention to the bank holiday and weekend hours.   Any animal movements outside of our opening hours are by prior agreement only and cannot be guaranteed.

​

Cats booked into 'shared' pens may if deemed necessary be separated into separate pens if it is considered necessary - fees will then be chargeable as if they were individual bookings.     Cats may only share a pen if from the same household,  We never place cats from different households into the same pen.

​

If a cat suffers illness or injury, firstly we will make every effort to contact you as the owner, or your designated alternative contact.  We will also make every effort to contact your own vet as necessary.  Basic Feline First Aid will be given as appropriate, unless the owner expressly withdraws permission for this to be done.  In the event of not being able to contact either the owner, or third party contact, we will if the vet deems it necessary take the cat/small animal to our own registered vet.  All fees thus incurred will be the responsibility of the animals owner.

​

Cats that require any form of medication are accepted at our discretion, and additional charges may apply for any treatment that needs to be given.

​

We have liability insurance in place and take all reasonable steps to ensure the safety and welfare of your cat(s) during their stay with us.  However, in the unlikely event of an 'escape' Low Furrow Cattery will not be held responsible for such incidents, and the cat(s) are boarded at the owner's own risk.  

​

In the unlikely event that the cat suffers any unexpected illness or death.  Low Furrow Cattery will not be held responsible for such occurrence.

​

Payment must be made in advance 50% at the time of booking, and 50% balance 30 days before first boarding date.  Payment may be accepted on arrival with prior agreement.   Payments can be made via cash, debit or credit card, cheque or bank transfer/online payment.

​

We would suggest that you bring bedding and toys, for your pets, as this often helps them to settle in (smells from home).

​

We provide, bedding pods, bedding, feed/water bowls, scratching post, litter tray.  You are more than welcome to bring your cats own bed.   If in doubt, please check with us.
