Cat Boarding, Belfast

Yes! But we ask that you restrict access to the outdoors for a minimum period of 2 weeks prior to their stay in the cattery - we call it 'Kitty Quarantine' to reduce the risk of injury and/or picking something up prior to their stay . For example, if your cat were to arrive at the cattery with injuries from a car accident or cat fight, this would require us to offer additional services and attention to your pet. And we will! But it is really preferable that you pet arrives healthy and we ask that you take precautionary measures to make this possible. Therefore, we will charge an additional fee should we find that this term is broken. Please see terms and conditions when booking!

Of course! Although this may ensure a charge dependent on travel costs and how long your pet requires accompaniment at the vet.

For any illness while in the cattery, we have isolation pens.

We are registered with Garden Lodge Vets at Stormont, however if your vet is within 4 miles of the cattery (and available) we will contact and visit your regular vet. We of course will keep you updated at all times.

Yes! We are competent in administering all types of medication, such as pills, food additives etc. However, if on arrival we can see your cat needs immediate veterinary care, we reserve the right to refuse admission to the cattery. If you have an outdoor cat, please keep indoors for a period of two weeks prior to their stay in the cattery. This reduces the risk of your cat getting injured or picking up anything prior to their stay. It also helps that your cat is used to being solely indoors.

Yes! Almost every cat settles (usually quicker than owners!). We do adjust our behaviours according to each cats needs, if they want to be left alone, we'll give them space. We will still regularly check on them (and feed!) and will attempt to build a relationship slowly and steadily. We always keep noise to an absolute minimum. 

No. We can feed your cat their usual food, please bring this with you on arrival. 

Yes we like to give the cats some treats, just a few of course! During the night time rounds we check on every cat and give them a few treats. It often helps the nervous ones settle and also encourages them to eat their main meal. You are welcome to bring their favourite treats, although we do have our own. Therefore, if your cat is not allowed treats, please let us know on arrival. 

No unless they are a family in a family pen. All cats must have their own pen, in accordance with the animal welfare act 2018. 

I'm afraid not, all cats should be vaccinated against Feline Enteritis and Cat Flu. The risks are far too high to your cat if they are unvaccinated. Any cattery that allows unvaccinated cats would (and should) lose their licence. Contact your vet for advice on vaccinations, but please remember if your cat is late with injections they will possibly need two that are usually three weeks apart, they then need another two weeks before being allowed in a cattery (so 5 weeks in total). 

Not as standard. However we are always happy to reply to emails and always give honest answers. 

Of course, we encourage owners to take their cat to their pen and settle them. Although some owners prefer to leave the cat with us and that's not a problem either.
