Great to have so many of our regular guests staying as well as lots of first timers. It's lovely to be able to look after them while their families take the opportunity to have a break after 2 years of restrictions. Photos to follow!

WE ARE RECRUITING!

We will shortly be looking to recruit a cattery assistant to work Saturday mornings from 8 - 12 and afternoons from 3.30 - 6.00, and Sunday mornings 8 - 12. This could either be one person for both days or one assistant for Saturdays and another one for Sunday mornings. Previous experience would be useful but not essential since training will be given. An ability to be flexible, observant and willing to work hard is important. Minimum age 16 years and pay dependent on experience.
Most importantly the candidate would love cats and have cats of their own so that they are familiar with their needs and how to look after them.
The job entails thorough daily cleaning of the units and full disinfection of vacated units; assisting with preparing food and feeding cats; grooming where necessary, observing and monitoring health; administering routine medication if required; assisting with arrivals and departures and helping as necessary.
We are situated in Gundleton about 3 miles from Alresford in a rural area with no public transport so it is essential that candidates should have access to their own transport to and from the cattery.
Candidates should in the first instance send their CV by e mail to Sue at [email protected].

We have been able to welcome so many new cats this year, and it's hard to choose a few to post, but here are some of our lovely first time feline guests.

After the last few months when most of our feline boarders have been for house moves which have been very popular, holidays at least in the UK are becoming possible and so we are becoming busier. Our visiting arrangements are still as they have been since last year, so anyone wishing to make a booking should call to make an appointment with the confidence that there will be no crowding or waiting in the cattery.
We are looking forward to having a lot of our regulars back to stay, along with a steady number of first timers. Photos to follow!

With best wishes from us all at the cattery, Sue, Paul, Jo and Cory

LATEST UPDATE ON PROCEDURES FOR BOARDING YOUR CATS AT CLUTHA CATTERY 8 JULY 2020

Since the general Covid 19 situation has gradually improved and moved on we can now provide an update on procedures. As a business we have been able to carry out social distancing during the past few weeks and months and have been able to continue providing boarding for cats when required.
As things have eased further we have developed the following amended procedures. These are designed to ensure that we only have one visit at a time to support social distancing procedures for the following purposes:
• New customers wishing to view the cattery
• Arrivals to deliver cats for pre-booked stays
• Collections of cats at the end of their stay
An appointment must first be made for each of these visits to the cattery, by phone or e mail. Ad hoc visits will not be allowed until further notice.
We can now resume taking card payments when collecting your cats, we also accept online bank transfers which should be made the day before collection.
We ask all our visitors to respect social distancing and we have hand sanitisers situated around the cattery. We have instigated a disinfecting routine before and after visits. The wearing of face masks is optional.
We hope the procedures we have set out here gives reassurance to owners that we can look after their cats without risk to either our customers or us by safely following social distancing procedures as long as they are necessary.
With best wishes to everyone, keep safe and we look forward to seeing both our regular visitors and new customers. Availability is currently limited in August but we still have a few spaces at the end of July and a number in September.

UPDATE ON PROCEDURES FOR BOARDING YOUR CATS AT CLUTHA CATTERY

We hope all our loyal customers and their lovely cats are keeping well and we are looking forward to life resuming to something near normality. In the meantime we are pleased to update you all on how we are there for you if and when you need us to look after your cats.
We can now provide an update on procedures at the cattery as the situation develops. There is still a great deal of uncertainty as to when life will become more normal and travel possible, but as a business we are able to carry out social distancing and therefore are able to board cats when required.
Until further notice we are instigating the following procedures.
Visits to view the cattery only are not currently available and all bookings must be made by telephone or e mail and not in person. Arrangements to deliver or collect your cat must be by appointment only.
To deliver cats for a stay with us, an appointment is made for us to meet owners in the car park once they have called to say they have arrived. At a 2 metre distance cats are passed over in their carriers, and relevant points are discussed with the owners including vaccination update details, diet and any other issues.
For collections we ask for payment to be made by online bank transfer the day before the agreed departure day. Again we make an appointment and follow the same procedure as for arrivals.
We hope this gives reassurance to owners that we can look after their cats without risk to either our customers or us by safely following social distancing procedures as long as they are necessary.
With best wishes to everyone and keep safe.
