What is Five Star Boarding?

All catteries in England have to be registered and inspected by their local council to receive a licence and, since 2019, a star rating.

To gain Five Stars a cattery must meet the highest criteria laid down by DEFRA regarding the facilities, management and welfare conditions for boarding felines. This includes but is not limited to the size and temperature of the houses, the food served, the amount of interaction the cats receive, the training of staff, the cleaning procedures and the monitoring of boarders' health and wellbeing.

Premises awarded Five Stars must have a proven track record and score low in all risk assessments.

To make sure standards don't slip, each premises has spot inspections throughout the year.

Why use a cattery?

Relaxing whilst away from home is key whatever you may be doing. Our job is to make sure your cherished feline friends are safe, monitored regularly, health checked and have someone around 24/7 to care for them.

Knowing your cat is safe and sound and enjoying their own holiday, allows you to enjoy a worry free break. We post regular pictures and updates on Facebook, allowing you to check in on your cat during their stay with us.
