After owning and running a very large boarding kennels and cattery for 18 years we retired (Ha! Ha!)

We missed the day to day involvement especially with the cats. We did not want however to have a large business again but rather a small exclusive cattery where we could take time with our guests and really enjoy the work.

We scoured the country and all of the manufacturers of cattery buildings and we finally chose what we believe to be the "Gold Standard" in terms of design and quality of construction.

The suites sit on a tiled floor and all joints are completely sealed so as to stop any cross contamination from suite to suite.

The suites are made from a high quality u.P.V.C. so as to be easy to keep clean and hygienic.

Double glazing and high quality insulation ensure that ambient temperatures are maintained. Inside each suite there is an armchair and footstool, an ultra soft bed and faux lambs wool vet bedding.

Each suite has a play and activity centre various toys and items of interest to cats.

It is our intention not to employ staff.

We maintain the diet that your cat is on at home completely, we use a top of the range cat litter but are happy to use one specified by you if necessary.

We will use your own vet in matters of health whilst your cat is with us and all cats are insured to the value of £1500 whilst in our care.

We also offer Feline Holistic Therapy via the famous Calma Wellness Centre (voted the best wellness centre in the UK for the second year running) therapists.

We have play times each day where we encourage your cat to enjoy their stay with us and pamper sessions where your cat likes to be brushed and combed. We will of course respect your cats wishes if it just wants to rest!

We operate an appointment system for all check-in check-outs in order to best fit with your own arrangements.

Please feel free to come and see us at The Mousetrap and have a look around.
