Fees
Honestly priced, nothing dressed up
Some catteries sort their rooms into tiers — standard ones, and "premium" or themed suites with a higher price. We've thought about it, and it's not for us. Here's where we stand.
We don't do themed rooms
A cat has no interest in whether its pen is decorated to a theme. Dress it up however you like — to the cat, it's a wall. Themed rooms exist for the owner's amusement and the photo opportunity, not for the animal's wellbeing, and we're not going to decorate a pen and add it to your bill. All our pens are large double or family pens designed around what cats actually want.
We don't charge extra for proper care
Everything that genuinely matters to a boarding cat is already in our price, for every guest — warmth, quiet, security, clean air, fresh water, and people who know how to read them.
We don't run two standards
If the good care is the expensive option, then the ordinary option is, by definition, less — and we're not willing to give one cat more attention than the cat next door because its owner paid a premium. Every cat gets the same standard: the best we can manage, every time.
Everything that matters is already in the price, for every guest:
The door is open, literally. Come and see for yourself.
Boarding fees
Charged per pen, per day, including the day of arrival and departure.
All prices are all-inclusive — there are no extra charges for bedding, food, heating or insurance. Administration of medication is an additional £2–£4 per cat per day depending on the medication and frequency. A pick-up & drop-off service is normally available at 85p per mile, minimum £15 each way. Prices are subject to change to maintain our standard of boarding.
Please also note
3 nights off-peak; 4 nights from 1 June to 30 September; 5 nights over Christmas (21 December–4 January).
£5 per cat per day, 21 December–4 January.
Cash only; we have no card facility at present.
By appointment, normally 10am–4pm. We try to keep drop-offs to the afternoon and collections to the morning, so we can clean thoroughly between guests.
Must be notified in writing. More than 14 days before arrival: no charge. 14 days or fewer but more than 7: 50% of the fee. 7 days or fewer, or non-arrival: 100% (including arrival and departure days).
Only cats from the same household, and compatible with each other, may share a pen.
Where we can only fit a booking in by moving your cat(s) partway through the stay, we'll offer this to you first. If agreed as a condition of booking, a £15 per pen-move cleaning and admin charge applies. No charge where we move your cat for our own operational, compatibility or welfare reasons.
Entire males over 6 months are not accepted, nor are cats with fleas. If a cat turns out to be unneutered and sprays during its stay, or has fleas, a £50 deep-cleaning charge applies and customers agree that we may apply flea treatment to contain the outbreak.
