Cattery Rules

You must bring current vaccination certificates for ALL cats staying with us. The certificate must stay with the cat(s) for the duration of their stay.

The current minimum requirements are:

  • (FPV) Feline infectious enteritis (FIE) A vaccination must
  • Feline infectious enteritis (a severe and often fatal gut infection) is caused by the feline parvovirus (or feline panleukopenia virus). Vaccination against FIE has been very successful. Unvaccinated cats are at great risk because the virus is widespread in the environment.

  • (FHV) Cat 'flu A vaccination must
  • Two types of cat 'flu are vaccinated against feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) and feline calicivirus (FCV) These viruses are very common and vaccination will protect your cat against a prolonged illness, but because there are so many different strains of cat 'flu the vaccine cannot totally eradicate the threat.

    We also recommend that if your cat goes outside that it has a vaccination against Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a viral disease that can in some cases be lethal.

    If you have any concerns about the above then please speak to your vet. They can advise about these and other forms of vaccinations prior to your booking. We do try and give the best advice but we are not vets or trained in this field and any advice given is purely our opinion.

    ALWAYS CONSULT A VET.
