Barnlake House Cattery – Our commitment
When you choose your Cattery you want to know that your cat will be safe, happy, and cared for by people with experience, a love of animals and knowledgeable in animal husbandry.
At Barnlake much thought and planning has gone into providing trouble-free accommodation for your cats.
Visitors are welcome at Barnlake House during opening hours or by appointment.
For information of prices for boarding or training please contact us by email or phone and we will send you the tariff.
Accommodation
Each cat has his or her own roomy compartment in a well-ventilated, indoor environment, where their sleeping area is protected from threat by other inmates by solid walls, but they can see out the of front and upper part of their kennel. We provide beds and “hidey boxes”, located on a raised shelf, but your cat can bring his own bed or blanket if you wish.
Food
The cats have the choice of tinned food (several varieties kept in stock) or kibble (dried food). Fresh water is available all the time. If a cat is a bit shy and unwilling to start eating we try him or her with sardines, chicken or anything which might get him started!
Health, Hygiene and Insurance
The cats have litter trays changed twice daily,. If a Vet is needed the Vet’s bill is covered by our Insurance (subject to the conditions as stated), and all animals must be accompanied by an up-to-date Vaccination Certificate.
Keeping Happy
In our cattery, the cats are not threatened by the busy comings and goings of the outside world. The cats gets personal attention and a cuddle if they are so inclined, so that your cat makes a relationship with someone and they don’t feel isolated and abandoned.
Finally ……
The methods we use are not the cheapest way to run kennels and a cattery – in fact they are very costly in materials and staff time. But we know that your dogs and cats are the most important thing to you after your family, and that they need the best care. So we aim to give it. We would want it for our own pets!
