Cattery FAQs
Who owns Catseye Cattery?
The cattery is owned and run by husband and wife team, Michael and Helen Dickson. Open since April 2010, we now also have a team of 3 working with us to ensure first-class feline care at all times.
What makes Catseye Cattery different from other, older facilities?
Lots of catteries around the UK are built from timber or from converted stables / outbuildings. The standards can vary enormously and many catteries are built during a time when we think basic standards were set too low.
But not only are the buildings top-notch – all the team working here are too!! We pride ourselves on giving first-class cat care and exceptional customer service.
Our philosophy is simple – look after the cats in our care extremely well and our clients will come back over and over again!!
Do the cats get to go outside?
My kitten is full of energy and used to running around and playing. I’m worried he/she will get bored in a cattery while I’m away.
My cat is used to being very warm and cosy at home. How will he/she cope with staying at Catseye Cattery?
I am anxious about leaving my cat as I have never done this before. I can’t bear the thought of him/her not settling and not knowing if he/she will be ok.
We are happy to send you updates
Michael and Helen Dickson have five cats of our own and have always had cats in the family so we are fully aware how hard it is to leave your beloved pets with someone else. We are more than happy to keep you updated by telephone/ e-mail/ text as often as you need. The more information we have about your cat’s likes/ dislikes/ habits the easier it will be for us to make sure that they settle and are happy. At Catseye Cattery we also have the webcam service, which means that you can keep a close eye on your cat and have the reassurance of seeing that they are comfortable and relaxed.
We tailor our approach and care to each cat
All cats have different personalities and therefore each one will become settled in his/ her own way. Some cats are bold and will settle instantly even if they have never been away from home before. More commonly cats that come for their first stay can be a bit wary and unsure to start with. Many cats don’t eat very well for the first day or two, but once they are more settled in their new environment they regain their appetite. At Catseye Cattery we recognise that each cat is individual, and so we tailor our approach and care to each one according to their specific needs.
Why do I need to make sure that my cat/s have had flea and worming treatments?
We request that all cats coming into the cattery are up to date with flea and worming treatment for their own protection as well as for the protection of others. We prefer to administer both flea and worming treatment if necessary on arrival if your cat is not up to date. This is not only for your cat’s protection but also for the protection of the other cats in the cattery.
