Cattery requirements

[Llantony]

Amazing!  We've been coming to our house in France for 5 years.  A week after we moved in permanently, a kitten walked in and made himself at home.  No response to a notice in the vet's and no-one asking after him tho he's obviously been a pet.  Couldn't chuck him back on the street, so he's ours now.

Now when we go back to UK to fetch our cat, we may have to put this one in a cattery.  We do plan to get him neutered, but what other requirements would we need to put him in a cattery?

I believe he needs a French per passport which means : Either tatoo or microchip and at least two innoculations.

Your new little fella will need a health certificate (passport) by a cattery before they will accept him. This will be provided by your vet after his inoculations are completed, he's tattooed or chipped & if you wish, neutered. Time wise it will take a least one month for both sets of injections & the cattery we used stated that they had to be completed at least 15 days before boarding. If you can't get the vaccines done before you return to the UK a cattery will not take him. If that's the case your vet may be able to keep him, in isolation, while you are away.

Once you have received his passport all the cattery will want is a contact address & a list of his likes/dislikes & any other information you think necessary. [:)]
