2024 Availability

Yes, I usually don't make this post until after Christmas, but I wanted to give all of my lovely regular customers (human and feline!) the heads up that next year's diary is open and spaces are filling up fast. If you already have dates for next year please let me know so we can secure those dates for you. At present spaces are extremely limited for May half term, June and September.

Also a quick reminder that the cattery will be closed due to annual leave from 4th to 12th August 2024.

And also, as so many of you have asked after him lately, yes Alfie is still going strong! We are counting down to his 22nd birthday🎉 He's not out and about so much greeting customers on the drive as he's starting to feel the cold much more in his old age so prefers to be indoors stealing the dog's bed by the radiator!

Many Thanks
Becky

*Availability Update*

I thought I'd take the opportunity while pausing for breath before the kids break up from school to give an availability update.

Unfortunately the cattery is now fully booked until October and I'm going to have to close the cancellation list for August and September.

If anyone has bookings for these months that they no longer require then please let me know to give the opportunity for people on the cancellation list to book.

Please, if you have any future dates from October onwards let me know so that I can get you booked in and avoid disappointment. The 2024 and 2025 diaries are also here and already have bookings in. You can never book too early - if you know your dates, just let me know!

At present availability for October and the Christmas and New Year period is very limited.

Looking forward to seeing lots of you over the summer!

Take care everyone
Becky

*Work in street*
Just to inform anyone arriving or collecting over the next week that Virgin Media have just rocked up this morning and started digging up the pavements in the street. Therefore access and parking are likely to be affected so please take care when dropping off or picking up. If you end up having to park further away than usual and need a hand carrying anything then please ring and let me know so I can help.
Thanks

*Spring/Summer 2023 Availability update*

Seen as It's feeling a bit more Spring like today I just wanted to give another quick update about availability for Spring and Summer this year:

MAY - no availability
JUNE - limited availability towards the end of the month
JULY - very limited availability until 21st, full after that date
AUGUST - full until the 28th onwards
SEPTEMBER - good availability for the first two weeks, limited after that.

It's still always worth contacting me to see if there are any cancellations or alterations or to get yourself on the cancellation list.

If you have future bookings for the end of 2023 or for 2024 I always recommend booking as soon as you know your dates.

Many Thanks
Becky 😸

**Price Increase from 1st Dec 2022**

Those of you who have been with me from the start will know that I haven't had a price increase since I opened nearly 6 years ago. Unfortunately the business overheads have increased steadily since then and more rapidly over the last year. Therefore I will have to raise the boarding fees to the following from 1st December 2022:

1 cat £12 per day

2 cats sharing from the same household £18 per day

For quotes and discounts for other combinations and long stays please get in contact.
These new fees will be applicable for new and existing bookings from 1st December 2022.

Thanks
Becky

I hope that everyone is having a lovely summer?! It's been a busy one!
Just a quick update regarding availability for the rest of this year. I'm now fully booked until mid October and there are just a couple of spaces left for half term and Christmas/New Year period (Please note that there is no availability for 23rd to 27th December). If you do have anything left to book in for the rest of 2022 please do so as soon as possible. The 2023 diary is already here and open so do let me know if you have bookings to make - it's never too early!!
Thanks Everyone

AVAILABILITY 😬
Please note that I've experienced a much higher than usual number of bookings so far this year and I'm now fully booked apart from odd days here and there until after the August Bank Holiday weekend.

If you have any dates to book in from September onwards or for 2023 please let me know as soon as possible.

If you have dates already booked in for this summer that you no longer need please let me know so that they can be offered to customers on the cancellation list.

Take care everyone
Becky

Evening Everyone!

Just a quick update regarding upcoming availability as I've taken a fair few enquiries today.

March, April and May are now very limited on space so if you have any confirmed dates during these months please let me know ASAP.
Also, I have just one space left during the first week of the summer school holidays in July if anyone needs that? The rest of the school holidays are OK at the moment but filling steadily.

Finally, a quick reminder that the cattery will be closed for boarders from 23rd Jan 2022 until 8th Feb 2022 while I recharge my batteries with some annual leave!!

Take care everyone and I look forward to seeing some of you throughout 2022.

MERRY CHRISMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!! From all of us at The Cat's Cwtch

**2022 AVAILABILITY AND REMINDER OF SHORT CLOSURE**

Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone who booked stays with us this year. It's been great to see our favourite felines since reopening after the second lockdown.

Also a quick reminder that the cattery will be closed for boarders from 23rd January 2022 until the 8th February 2022 while I'm on annual leave.

If you have any dates to book in for 2022 please let me know as soon as possible. As many peoples holidays were postponed from this year to next some dates are already full or limited, particularly March and May at the moment. I absolutely hate having to say no to valued customers so please get in touch as soon as you know your dates.

Take care everyone
Becky 😺

**Advance Notice of Short Closure**

Just to let everyone know that the cattery will be unavailable for bookings between the dates of 23rd January 2022 and 8th February 2022 while we take some time to have a family break (fingers crossed, restrictions permitting!)

Thank you for your understanding and continued support 😸

**Polite reminder regarding vaccinations**

I hope everyone is well?
I thought I'd just take a minute to discuss vaccinations (feline ones rather than covid for a change!)

We are all eagerly awaiting news that the tourism industry will slowly and carefully reopen and allow us to make plans to look forward to. So I thought now would be a good time to remind customers to make sure that their cats vaccinations are up to date.

With everything we've all had to deal with over the last year it's been easy to overlook booster dates. Some vets are stricter than others with overlap lengths so in some cases a new course of injections may be needed which would need to be started several weeks before their stay.
If you are in any doubt please check with your vet.

As always, cats must be fully up to date with their vaccinations in order to stay and I'd hate for anyone to miss out on a break or finally being able to visit family because of a missed vaccination.

I'm really looking forward to being able to fully reopen in the near future (hopefully 🤞) and can't wait for all of those lovely cat cwtches that I've missed out on!

Until then everyone take care

Becky
