About FAB listed catteries:

FAB Listed Catteries have been inspected and measured against the FAB Standard for Construction & Management of Boarding Catteries. Being listed is a sign that the standards of cat accommodation and care are excellent.

What to look for when choosing a cattery:

The cat accommodation has an enclosed sleeping area with its own individual exercise run. This should be of appropriate size, warm, dry and secure.

There is no possibility of cats within the cattery (excluding those from the same household in the same unit) coming into direct contact with each other. There should also be no contact with any animal outside of the cattery.

Only cats from the same household are boarded together.

Good ventilation and air are available to minimise the possibility of spreading air-borne diseases.

There are 0.6m gaps between units or, if the units are joined, sneeze barriers. Full height barriers are essential to prevent cats sneezing on or touching one another.

Cats have an pleasant view to stimulate them, a scratching post and plenty of toys to play with.

Cats have a shelf in the run for resting and enjoying the sun.

What to pack for your cat:

We encourage you to bring some bedding, towel or item of clothing with which your cats are familiar. This will help them to settle in. Do not wash it beforehand - it defeats the object of it having a familiar and reassuring smell. A favourite toy is also a good thing to take with you to the cattery.

Transporting your cat:

Make sure you have a sturdy, good sized cat carrier, solid enough to prevent the cat from escaping during transit, yet providing enough air and a view for reassurance. Line it with sheets of newspaper. Do not put the bedding in, which is intended for use in the cattery. Cardboard carriers have poor ventilation, are insecure if the cat is determined to get out and may fall apart when made wet. A cat may occasionally be sick or urinate in the car. It is a good idea to refrain from feeding your cat before travelling.
