The East Wing has four large chalets that can accommodate one or two cats, and one very large chalet for up to three cats. These are light and airy and best suited to confident cats who like to sit in the sun and watch the world go by. The West Wing has three double bedroom suites for either one cat, or for two sharing who appreciate separate bedrooms. These are more secluded chalets that catch the morning sun and are best suited to more timid cats who like to watch the world from a safe distance. We have one single chalet in the quiet corner of the West Wing suitable for very timid cats. And one stand alone chalet for cats who really do not appreciate having neighbours!

​

The chalets have raised bedroom(s) connected to their outside run by a pop hole. The bedrooms are insulated to ensure they stay cool in summer and warm in winter, and the outside runs have a translucent roof to keep the rain out but let the light flood in. Each bedroom has an infra-red heat lamp for your cat to bask under when the temperature drops. We provide a basket and soft bedding, but also encourage owners to bring something from home with familiar smells to help your cat settle in.

The outside runs have a private area for toileting and we use a deep litter of wood pellets - unless you cat has a particular preference for another litter - do let us know!

Each chalet overlooks the garden so the residents can watch the wildlife and the comings and goings of the chickens and humans. We do not board dogs, so there is no barking to alarm your cat.

As cats are sensitive to the stares of unknown neighbours, the runs have opaque screens between them, and these also act as "sneeze barriers" to prevent any disease spread between cats.

​

The cattery day begins around 8am with breakfast served, all animals carefully checked, and bedroom thermometers monitored. After arrivals of new guests or departures of old between 9-10am, we spend time with each cat, being "helped" to clean their chalet, replace water and add bowls of biscuits to nibble at through the day. Morning coffee might be taken with a cat for extra cuddles or play session. Cats are checked regularly throughout the day as we move about the farm, and dinner is served after any arrivals or departures between 6-7pm. A final check is made at the end of the day, ensuring heat lamps are on and radiating to the right temperature before bed.

All runs are thoroughly disinfected between residents, and daily cleaning ensures the runs stay fresh and comfortable for your cat. We are licensed by Allerdale Borough Council and work closely with their officers to ensure we offer the best possible service to our cat clients. Oh, and we do our best to keep our human clients happy too!
