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. - How do I know if my cat will be happy staying with you?
