Clearly something horrible that they have found to roll in! Nothing viable but they will get the smell test when they go in. They looked so happy I didn’t have the heart to stop them!!

A few of the dogs having a great time on their morning walk. Pluto and Boris especially like playing together whilst laying down and it seemed to be catching as a few other decided to join in!!🐾🐾

A little rough for my liking but they were having such a good time I didn’t want to spoil their fun on the morning walk. A minute before Tucker had been the one charging around the paddock with Koopa until his kennel mate Nelly stole him.

Two of the newbie’s Molly and Frank being shown the ropes by Star the Golden Retriever. I think Frank rather likes Molly.

Just to reassure all my customers with current bookings they will all be honoured. That is no thanks to Chelmsford City Council but I have taken steps to ensure all your cats can stay at my luxury Catteries and there is no need to seek alternative accommodation in the few Catteries that still exist. I am sorry for the alarm I have caused some of my customers but this has been a very distressing time for me. I re-mortgaged my house to create the biggest and best Catteries I possibly could only to be bullied by Chelmsford City Council on minor failings in the new legislation that they have admitted raised no concerns what so ever for the welfare of any animals in my care.
Onward and upwards I hope.

Can everybody please share this far and wide so a news team picks this up. Those that use me know I the have the biggest most luxury Catteries in Essex and my licensing officer at Chelmsford City Council has a personal vendetta against me.

All Cattery bookings are ok currently so no need for my customers to find elsewhere. A letter to the council would help expressing your dismay at there behaviour.

Good afternoon Philippa

I refer to your email of 20th May 2024.

In our letter dated 14th May 2024, we stated that you need to make written representations to Chelmsford City Council within seven working days.

If you decide not to respond to the points raised regarding the cattery, the cattery cannot continue to trade until September. It would need to close, all cats removed to owners or emergency back-up (Ladybird is stated within your procedures) and no further bookings taken, by Thursday 23rd May 2024. The kennels could continue under a variation of the licence if you provide the signed Preventative Healthcare Plan.

If you decide to respond positively to the points raised by supplying a detailed plan of works for the cattery, the suspension could then be reviewed with a view of reinstating the licence.

Please respond, copying in Nicola Tansley and Lewis Mould, as copied into this email.

Kind Regards.
