Our Cattery
We offer comfort, safety, and cuddles for all of our guests.
What to Expect
Relaxing
The cattery has views over the countryside and is away from the kennels for a peaceful environment. The cattery also looks out over the reception area giving the cats a chance to see what's going on. We have single and double-sized catteries and also adjoining ones for families of cats. Security is our top priority and operate a double door system within the cattery.
Sleeping
Each cattery has spacious accommodation with enclosed penthouse sleeping quarters. These are individually heated and additional heat pads are included in colder months.
Playing
The cats have easy access to their exercise area, which has scratching posts, logs, and a selection of toys to keep your cat occupied during quiet periods.
Vaccination
All cats need to be fully vaccinated, and a vaccination certificate will need to be shown on completion of a booking form. Within the main Cattery, we prefer any male cats over 10 months of age to be neutered, however, if this is not the case we are able to house them away from the main cattery.
Eating
We supply many of the leading cat foods, but should you wish to bring your own you are welcome to do so. Our aim is not to disrupt your cat’s diet. The cats are fed twice daily in the morning and evening. Hygiene is also very important to us, with trained staff ensuring the cattery is clean throughout the day. Each cattery unit has sneeze barriers to prevent germs from being spread, although the cats can still see each other through them.

“Our cats have been taking their annual holiday at Lombard Tree for the past 15 years. We looked at a selection of local catteries and couldn’t be happier with the care our cats receive at Lombard Tree, they both come home looking better than when we all went away, after all, isn’t that what a family holiday is all about! Many thanks to all at Lombard Tree.”
