Before you book
“Susan runs the best cattery we have ever used… Susan genuinely loves the cats… I cannot recommend Coast Cattery more highly” – Helen, Milldale
Health Requirements
- We require you to present a current vaccination certificate from your vet. No certificate, no entry!
- All cats must be vaccinated against enteritis and cat flu. For cattery purposes, we require an annual booster. If your cat is due just prior to arrival, or during their stay, this must be done at least 14 days prior to arrival.
- Kittens must have completed their initial vaccination course, of 2 or 3 shots several weeks apart, at least 14 days prior to arrival.
- Routine flea and worm treatment should be done at least 48 hours prior to arrival. We recommend Nexgard, Bravecto Plus or Revolution.
- All cats and kittens must be desexed.
- Whilst we are happy to administer simple medications to compliant cats, we do not accept diabetic cats, “end of life” cats, or those with contagious diseases, e.g. ring worm, or showing signs of cat flu.
