🔥 HEATWAVE WARNING 🔥

As many of you know, we are an outdoor cattery, which means we are not able to fully control the temperature or use air conditioning due to the need for proper airflow. During heatwaves, it can get extremely hot, and while we do everything we can to keep your cats safe and comfortable—including providing cooling mats and fresh water multiple times a day—there are limits to what we can do in such extreme conditions.

💡 For this reason, we strongly advise that, where possible, you consider keeping your cats at home during heatwaves, especially if they are elderly, medicated, or have existing health concerns. Your cat’s safety and wellbeing are our top priority, and we will fully understand if you wish to cancel your booking due to the heat.

If you do choose to board with us, please ensure your cat(s) are kept as cool as possible during transport—ideally with air conditioning or fans—and we will do our best to check them in promptly to minimize their time in the heat.

Sadly, it seems heatwaves are becoming more frequent, and while most cats cope well, some do struggle, and we want to be open and honest about the challenges they may face in this weather.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in us. Stay safe and cool! 🐾 😎 🐱

*BIG NEWS for 2025* 😺👏🏼
We would like to announce that due to all your amazing support and loyalty this year we are now VAT registered at Laxey Cattery. As much as this is news to congratulate, as I’m sure you’re all aware, this does mean our prices will increase to include VAT-despite everything still increasing such as heating, maintenance costs, staff and supplies we haven’t increased our prices we have simply just added VAT to them.

We believe due to a few catteries closing this year and because of all our amazing regular customers that the demand has been higher than ever before so we again would like to take this opportunity and thank you all for allowing us to look after all your precious and amazing family meow-mbers 😻

We hope this change won’t deter many of you from us however, this is something out of our control hence why it is late notice and we really hope that we can continue to provide the best care for all our furry friends in the future! 🐾

We currently will still be cash or cheque only but will be able to provide receipts for those that need one and eventually card payments will be introduced in the future😃

(Any bookings that are checking in Dec 2024 and checking out in January 2025 will stay the same price as 2024. All bookings that now START in January 2025 or after the new prices will apply too, regardless if they were booked in 2024)

The pain we all feel today is heavy, it’s been a sad day for us at Laxey Cattery. Our Marley has sadly passed the rainbow bridge today. He will forever be a big part of all of us at Laxey Cattery and we will miss him massively. He was a very special boy, with a very sad story and we will never regret giving him a chance at experiencing love, warmth, attention and of course lots of food, his absolute favourite.

For those who don’t know we took Marley in just over a year ago under very sad circumstances, we nursed him back to health before we attempted to rehome him but sadly he didn’t settle, we believe he got so used to the cattery he just wanted to be with us. (A massive thankyou to Beth who attempted to have him for a month, he will forever thank you for trying as do we) We were going to attempt rehoming him again but unfortunately the last few months he became unwell again and the last few weeks he deteriorated very quickly so we had further tests done which were costly but we all grew so fond of him we knew it had to be done. Today we sadly got the dreaded “C” diagnosis for him but it ultimately wasn’t treatable or removable and quite a nasty one too so we decided to let him rest in peace today and end his suffering 💔

He spent his last moments in our home last night with freshly cooked chicken and a bed to sleep on and he knew nothing but love the last year by staff and our customers who may of met him wandering around. We spoilt him as our own and we wish we could’ve continued to heal him in so many ways but ultimately he chose us and we chose him. We will forever treasure the memories he gave us and not seeing him again is going to break all of our hearts but we will be collecting you soon to stay with us at Laxey forever Mars 🖤

RIP our handsome, expensive but lovable boy. We hope your next life is even better than this one, you deserve it. Our brave boy- 02/12/24 🪽🕊️🐈‍⬛

*Polite notice regarding flea treatments*

Firstly we do not have a flea problem at the cattery however it is a risk in any cattery setting. Unfortunately flea treatments is something very hard to police unlike vaccinations as we cannot prove customers are regularly flea treating and also we cannot make people flea treat on every check in as it can only be done once a month for safety reasons. Because of this we do rely on customers honesty and common sense that if you know your cat has fleas or isn’t regularly treated that you do not use a cattery. We have had a few occasions this year of customers admitting to struggling with controlling flea’s (completely not passing blame as fleas have become demons in the last year) and we would really appreciate, if this is the case, that you do cancel a booking with us to protect other cats we look after.

We have been made aware by many vet surgery’s this year that frontline, bob Martin and some other supermarkets brands are now being proven to be ineffective and resistant to fleas and some even dangerous to cats. This means Laxey will always advise you use veterinary prescribed flea treatments however we do believe advocate is still effective.

We have a very thorough deep cleaning process for any pens that cats are showing flea dirt or fleas and this is done after they check out, we have never had an outbreak luckily but this year a lot of people do seem to be admitting to having problems at home. This post is to just help and inform our customers to prevent a flea outbreak ever occurring at Laxey!

As explained cats should be treated once a month, if you just flea treat once a year or just once just before a cattery stay this is much less effective protection than flea treating once a month, 12 months a year, even if you do have an indoor cat. Fleas can come from clothing, fields, wild animals, shoes so it’s not just from other pets!

We would always appreciate you cancelling over bringing your cat in with fleas (if you are already aware they have them) as this protects other people’s pets and our cattery and we would always try our best to help with back up options if you needed.

Our flea policy is: if we do spot your cat with fleas or any evidence of flea dirt then we contact you to ask when your cat(s) were last treated and with what brand you used. This then gives us an indication of whether we can contact your vets to get a veterinary prescribed treatment or not. We cannot double dose if you admit to treating your cat recently however if it’s using an ineffective brand then most vets do allow us to double dose, so again we rely on honesty if we should need to contact you!

Thank you for reading and understanding and we know most people are aware of all the above but we feel an informative post may help some people that are unaware of any of the above🐾 🤍
