- Visitors By Appointment Only
Of course, we are fully licensed and inspected by Winchester City Council. Our boarding licence number is 24/01566/LICBOC
If you are a new or existing client, then simply either telephone or email us with your dates. See below for the information we need.
How many, their name(s)and their full description/history, including age & breed.
Details of any illness/injury past or present that has required veterinary treatment/medication. Also confirmation of vaccinations and neutering.
Details of preferred foods and feeding routine. A brief description of their character and if they have stayed in a cattery before?
No, in most cases this is not a problem. However, we will assess each case individually and occasionally this may result in an increase of our normal charges.
Please note we do not board diabetic cats
We advise all new clients to view Furballs before the booking. All viewings are by appointment only between 8 and Midday Monday – Saturday. Get in touch for further details.
Every cat is individual but sometime, yes. If your cat has never been away from home before, they could become stressed. However, we can normally minimise and reduce this stress by recommending a ‘short/trial’ stay for a minimum of 3 days. (A reasonable amount of time before your main holiday). This will help your cat and enable us to assess whether the cat is able to cope with a cattery environment and for your cat to adjust.
Because we are an exclusive boarding cattery, space is at a premium, particularly during school holiday periods. We, therefore, recommend you contact us with provisional dates. We will enter the dates on our booking sheets and contact you when confirmation is required, which will be approximately 8 weeks prior.
Yes, we specialise in long-term bookings, due to the design of Furballs Cattery, which includes access to extra large run areas.
ALL visitors, including arrivals and departures, are allocated an appointment slot between 8 am and midday Monday to Saturday. (Closed Sundays and Bank Holidays).
We ask that a maximum of only 2 people ‘viewing’ visit at any one time. If you are bringing a cat in then we will allow only one person into the ‘boarding’ area. This is not only to ensure that we maintain a quiet and peaceful environment to all our residents. Particularly when cats are arriving, and are at their most anxious. It also ensures the security and safety of all our resident cats.
