The Cats Whiskers Boarding Cattery is FAB approved and fully licensed by Stafford Borough Council under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963. This ensures the best care for your cat and to give you peace of mind.

We are situated in open countryside overlooking gardens, a small pond and bird feeders!

    The cats are housed in spacious, individually heated chalets, each with its own covered outdoor run. Whilst each cat can see its neighbour, there can be no direct contact due to the 60cm gap between each run. The chalets are built to the Feline Advisory Bureau

Any cat showing signs of ill health on arrival will be refused admission pending advice from the vet. This is essential to protect the health of all cats staying with us.

Treatment of pre-existing medical conditions, including trips to the vets may incur additional charges.

Administration of medication is charged at 50p per cat per day.

Male cats over the age of 7 months, which have not been neutered, cannot be boarded.

All customers are requested not touch cats other than their own as this can spread infection.

Children are welcome but must be supervised at all times. Loud voices and running around can frighten the cats (and me)!
