Owned, built and designed by animal lover Andrew Robinson in 1993, his daughter Shauna has been managing the cattery since 2014. Initially beginning with 12 chalets we have since grown to 40. We have 12 chalets for single cats, 26 chalets for doubles sharing

and 2 family pens that cater for up to 4 cats. Situated in a peaceful, out of the way location in the Soothill area of Batley your cats will get to enjoy the serene garden views as well as glimpses of our pet chickens and pygmy goats. We cater purely for cats only so there is no disruptive noise from a nearby kennels. What makes our cattery so unique is that each individual chalet has access to its own outdoor area. Cats can enjoy the fresh air and hear birdsong every morning making it as near to a home environment as possible for a cattery. We are veterinary and local authority approved. All cats are secure under lock and key and the property is accessed by an electric gate which is closed outside of opening hours. We have two cats of our own Frank and Muffin who will often greet you on the driveway or be sidling up and down the corridors. ABE/021201903243


ACCOMMODATION
Each chalet incorporates a snug, heated indoor area for eating and sleeping, leading onto a spacious outdoor area. Unlike a lot of catteries we offer 24 hour access to fresh air for our cats, perfect for those night-owls who like to watch the night-time wildlife in the garden. The boarding of your cat includes food, bedding, bowls, litter and a litter tray. Each unit is given a full cleanse daily. Cats are creatures who take pride in keeping clean therefore our environment reflect this and we endeavour to keep it immaculate for them. Owners are welcome to bring their own blankets, bedding, toys and scratch posts as it can help cats settle in quicker. Please make sure all own belongings provided are suitably clean. Each chalet also has its own cupboard underneath to safely store pet carriers or any personal belongings such as treats or documents. FOOD
We provide most popular brands of wet and dry cat food ranging from Whiskas, Felix, Kitekat, Sheba, Go-cat, Purina, Iams and Gourmet. We always keep a stock of tuna and Dreamies for treats. We understand the importance of maintaining your cat’s regular diet. Prescriptive and specialist diets must be provided by yourselves. VACCINATIONS
We only accept full vaccinated cats, we have to be very strict on this! Your cat should be kept up to date with yearly standard boosters for cat flu and feline enteritis. Vaccination certificates must be on display whilst your cat is in residence with us, so you must remember to bring this document each time. If proof of vaccination is not provided we reserve the right to refuse entry. Please also keep your cats up to date with flea treatment prior to arrival. Any cat found with fleas will have to be treated immediately on site and charged a fee of £10. MEDICATIONS
We are well experienced with and happy to administer a range of medications at no extra cost. Please provide written instructions for medications required whilst your cat is in residence. We can inject diabetic cats given that they have been diabetic for a significant time, have a stable appetite and respond well to being injected. ACCOMMODATION FOR SMALL ANIMALS
We can now accommodate smaller animals in our reception area. Animals such as guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, degus, rabbits, rats and budgies. Cages/housing/hutches must be provided by owners and fit comfortably in our reception area. PRICES AND BOOKING

Man it's a hot one!
Happy Bank Holiday Monday!
We are all nice and cool in the Cattery. Chilled tiled floors, main building shaded by the tall trees for the brunt of the sun. Cool mats where needed and lots of cool fresh water. The cats are coping better than I am 😂 Strangely some of them still prefer a furry bed in this weather 🤔🙀

We remember bickering sisters Kylie and Dannii who were regulars for many years. Always fratching but they had a lot of love for each other. Both recently passed now. They provided us with lots of entertainment. Dannii very sassy and food orientated and Kylie calmer, reserved and gentle.
(not sure how that compares to their human namesakes 😆)

Happy Easter from all at the Gables. Hope you all enjoy some chocolate and chill time 🐰
