catteries

[emmmy_lou]

Kittens adapt a lot better than older cats, so in a way it probably good you are getting him used to it at such a young age. I have never used a cattery myself, but yes would take a few home comforts and any particular food he needs too.

Have you visited it? I think even though your partner knows someone who works there, I would like to have a nosey about first!

I have seen the photo's of Mully on your other thread. He is a real sweetheart!

It's good that you can start him off with just a few days at the cattery so that he learns that you will come back for him. Most cats seem to be fine, it's us who worry ourselves silly

We're all over protective on here 

Will look at your pics of Mully tomorrow.

It wouldn't be fair on either of the cats so it's good you can take him to a cattery that will hopefully be great.

What's your cat called and we like pictures on Purrs    in fact we love lots and lots of pics

Yes that's what we thought I think i'm going to be more worried than him, suffering from overprotective mum syndrome . My cat is called Mully and I will post a picture of him now.

Hi and  to Purrs.

Always worrying when we have to leave our little darlings  I am lucky as my friend takes care of Bonnie for me.

I think if they get used to them at a young age they will be ok. The people running the cattery should be up on how to take care of kittens and they shouldn't let any one stay who has not had their jabs.

I was gong to say it's better if you know someone who can recommend a place to you but you've gone one step further and know someone who works there 

Just for a few days and lots of fuss made of and toys to play with and no time to be stressed.  I would take a fave toy, blanket, bed etc.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, we will take his blanket and some toys. We have a few weekends away this year spread out over the next 4 months so hopefully he likes it as he will need to go there. Were unlucky in that my partners parents have an older cat who doesn't like other cats and is an attention seeker so it just wouldn't work taking him there.

Hi everyone

Just wondering what peoples general opinions are on catteries, we are away for a long weekend in July and our cat will be 13 weeks. We have nobody who can have him so have found a really good catterie and my partner knows someone who works there. Do they tend to get very stressed in these places?
