Please ensure that your cats are up to date with flea treatments. They need to have had an application 2 weeks before they come into the cattery to ensure that any fleas are dealt with before they come in. During their stay if evidence of fleas appear in their pen then an additional charge of £20 will be made to cover the clean down and deinfestation process that has to be carried out before any other cats can use the pen.
A picture of Dovetails entrance on the left and on the right a picture of the pens in Dovetails which we constructed in 2016. We named our extension to the cattery Dovetails in memory of a carpenter who was a long term tenant before its conversion. Shortly after opening the extension we found out he had passed away from cancer so this is to remember him, he played a big part in our creation of the cattery as he built the pens in the main block.
Aristocats opened in 2009 with just 7 pens this quickly grew to 14 pens and now we have 24. We have gained a good reputation for the standard of care and facilities we provide and have many loyal customers.
We are located on Meeke's Farm just outside the centre of Rushall, the cattery is set well away from the main road in a tranquil setting. We have been operating as a farm under the same family ownership for over 70 years originally we were a traditional farm before diversifying approximatel 40 years ago and we have added to this by providing cattery facilities, a small animal hotel and storage units over the years. We strive to do everything to a very high standard and welcome inspection visits to the cattery as we are proud of what we have to offer, please come and take a look around. If you could call before visiting it would be appreciated as we do have owners coming to drop off and pick up their cats which would mean we could not spend as much time as we would like showing you around and discussing your requirements if your visit clashed with these occasions.
The cattery is fully licenced by Walsall MBC, we currently have 24 units in our boarding cattery ranging in size, we can accomodate single cats up to a family unit. The accomodation is centrally heated for the colder days but has plenty of windows for ventilation, there are fire alarms and emergency lights fitted, each of the cattery pens are made to the highest standard to ensure the safety of your cat whilst in our care. The farm is also covered by CCTV to ensure the security of the area.
All cats that come into the cattery have to be fully inncoulated and we need to see their innoculation card before we accept them, also male cats over 6 months have to neutered. Flea and worm treatments need to be up to date.
Minimum stay is 3 days, 5 days over the Christmas period and the number of days booked at anytime must be fully paid for even if you pick up the cat early. We have reserved the pen for the whole of the period you requested and at busy times we are turning away business.
The cost includes all food we use Whiskas and Felix pouch wet food and Whiskas, Go-cat and Iams dry food. If your cat has a specialist diet we will use the food that you provide, please ensure that any food is clearly labelled with your cats name.
