Dick Whittington's Cattery, Hockliffe - 01525 210646

We are a large boarding cattery in Hockliffe. We only care for cats so we are able to provide a relaxed and quiet holiday for your cat.

We have various types of accommodation to suit every cats needs, 70 outside chalets that can accommodate up to two cats sharing, 8 of these are low to the floor for those who find it hard to jump. 10 of them are also equipped with ramps for the less able. We then have 8 Family chalets which can accommodate up to 6 cats from one household. For those who don't like to venture outside at all we have 36 inside rooms which enable the cats to stay indoors at all times, these are also super for recuperation after operations or injuries as well as those who are frail or very young. 12 of these rooms can be made into 6 double rooms to allow for 2 cats to share more comfortably.

We only care for cats so there are no other noisy animals to unsettle your cat. The chalets all look out onto a lovely large garden full of fruit trees, flowers and well maintained lawn. There is a little bubbling stream that runs along the back of the cattery which also provides a lovely array of wildlife including ducks for the cats to see as they often visit the garden. All of the chalets catch the sun at some point during the day so no-one gets left out from sun bathing!

Our staff are all trained how to administer medication for common niggles, many cats, like people need to be given regular medication for various non-infectious conditions and this can be difficult when planning to leave your cat. We will administer their usual medication free of charge so you can be sure their health will not be put at risk. We even take care of Diabetic cats who need regular insulin injections.

We have close relationships with local vets to ensure that in the unlikely event of an emergency the very best of care will be given to your cat immediately. Our staff have attended events on emergency first aid, as well as having good knowledge of parasites such as fleas and worms. This means we are able to offer free advice about worming and fleas, as well as offer treatments to keep them at bay.

The staff also have some training in grooming, especially long-haired cats. This also allows us to offer nail clipping treatments at a very reasonable price.

Most of all we aim to make your cat feel like she is one of the family and be happy, safe and content while she stays with us. We hope that in turn this puts you at ease and gives you one less worry while you are away.
