    • Feline leukaemia virus

    We will also need to see proof (at least 4 days old) of recent antiparasite treatment (fleas, tics and worms). Please bring proof of this.
    If your cat is older than six months during its stay with us, then it must be castrated or sterilised. Whatever your cat’s age, it must be identified with either a tattoo or electronic chip. We will also need contact details for somebody in case of emergency. Please download and complete this form and have it signed by the person concerned.

    As a specialist in cat behaviour, we can assure you that your cat will be well looked after, spoilt and loved.
    We hold a Diploma in Cat and Dog Boarding Specialist in the European Union, in accordance with the European Directive 2005/36 / CE of the European Parliament and of the Council of the 7th September 2005 relating to the recognition of professional qualifications.
