How we take care of
YOUR CATS
We'll help your cat feel at home
Cawthorne Cat Hotel has been designed to be as home-like as possible. All our decorated rooms are beautifully furnished with beds, activity trees, and “human” chairs, but there is plenty of space for you to bring toys, beds, and furnishings from home as well, to help your cat settle in. You are welcome to take as much time as you like settling your cat when you arrive, and we’ll help you arrange their room just the way they’d like it. We use Feliway diffusers in every room to reduce stress and help your cat feel at home. We also play relaxing music at various times during the day.
We love toys and playtimes
Because we are small, we can provide lots of individual attention and playtimes. We have a wide range of interactive toys available and we'll change them around during your cat’s stay to keep things interesting.
We love cuddles and brushing
We’ll be delighted to cuddle your cat just as much, or as little, as they’d like. We also brush cats that enjoy this daily. It can be a nice way for some cats to relax and enjoy human contact.
If your cat needs help with other things like wiping eyes, we can do this too.
We feed your cat's usual food
We offer an extensive menu which includes all our guests' favourite brands. We'll discuss your cat's diet when you book so we can be sure that we feed them just the same way you do at home. If your cat needs a food which is not on our menu, or is on a prescription diet, you’ll need to bring it with you. We can accommodate raw diets and also frozen fresh foods. Meals are served twice a day, or more often if that’s what your cat needs.
We check your cat frequently
The health and wellbeing of all guests is checked several times throughout the day. Any signs that they are unhappy or unwell will be picked up on immediately. If your cat does become unwell during their stay, we will immediately refer them either to your vet (if they are in our local area), or to our own vet, who is just down the road and on 24 hour standby.
We'll look after your cat's individual needs
Is your cat timid? Anxious? Elderly? Needy? Energetic? Watching their weight? On medication? Don’t worry, we'll spend lots of time getting all the details from you when you arrive, so that we know how to meet their individual needs.
We can also administer your cat’s medication according to your vet’s instructions.
Your cats are in safe hands
We maintain strict hygiene procedures to eliminate the risk of cross contamination of infectious diseases between cats. All rooms, soft furnishings, and toys are disinfected between guests using a veterinary grade disinfectant. We only accept cats who have up to date vaccinations against cat flu and feline infectious enteritis.
