Welcome to Bushey Cattery

The Cattery

Bushey Cattery was purpose-built over ten years ago at the bottom of a delightful garden backing onto the local park. It has 12 pens capable of holding two and three cats; plus a couple of spacious holding units for changeovers at the busiest times. And there’s a sick bay next to the office – just in case.

Each pen has its own covered, open-air run and an insulated, full-height chalet with sleeping quarters. Thermostatically controlled infrared heaters maintain comfortable temperatures. There is a CCTV system positioned to scan the interior of the unit.

Looking after your cat

Normal feeding times are at 7 a.m. and 5p.m. Most popular wet foods are available and there’s a range of dry foods too. If your cat has special dietary needs – a prescription diet in effect – you are likely to be asked to supply sufficient for his/her stay.

If your cat is undergoing treatment which must be continued during his/her stay you’ll need to provide details in advance. Tablets, ointments and diabetes injections for example normally present no problem.

The cattery is licensed by the local authority. The licence requires evidence of current vaccination against cat flu and feline enteritis for all boarders. Owners are asked to ensure their cats are free of fleas before delivering them.
