Polly's Cat Lodge is a purpose built boarding cattery built in the Autumn of 2012 to the highest of Feline Advisory Bureau standards. We are a friendly, family run cattery dedicated to the comfort, safety and total well being of your cat while you are away. We have 15 spacious, cosy chalets set in a quiet tranquil garden setting. All the chalets are fully insulated and thermostatically heated. All

our chalets can house up to 2 cats sharing, we have 2 family sized chalets that can house up to 4 cats, that means even if you have a larger feline family we can cope (All cats sharing must be from the same household). At meal times your cat will be fed their regular diet. All individual tastes are catered for. Only the best fresh food is provided, and prepared in our hygienic cat kitchen attached to the cattery. Special diets are provided where necessary, normally at no extra cost. Regular meal times are adhered to. Adult cats are fed twice a day, whereas kittens and old cats are fed according to their requirements. All our guests are provided with a warm snug bed to settle down in to, if of course your cat has their own sleeping basket this can be brought. Also owners are requested to bring a small blanket or old sweater with which the cat is familiar this will help them settle quicker and feel more secure in their new surroundings. Toys.... of course we have toys, something to scratch, something to flick, something to pounce on (and kill!!) they are all here, and when your cat returns for their next visit, their personal toys will be waiting for them, just something else to help them settle again.

Hi Good Afternoon folks

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the summery weather now it’s eventually here.
Just a couple of reminders and housekeeping notes if I can…

Firstly can I ask that everyone sticks to their appointment times, if you wish to change them leading up to bringing or collecting your cats that’s absolutely fine I will try and accommodate any changes. I have half hour appointments to allow a smooth handover of your cats and it also allows people who find leaving them difficult to have a little privacy if needed. On a similar note please do stick to my opening times unless a previous arrangement has been made. The cattery opens at 9:30am no admissions or collections will be allowed before that time again unless a previous arrangements has been made. Mornings are a very busy time and I hope you understand that the cleaning, giving of breakfasts and the administration of medicines without interruption is important and is why you bring and trust me with your fur balls.

As requested at the gate please ring the bell and WAIT. I will be with you as soon as I can. Please don’t just wander down as my grandchildren or dogs may be in the garden, which is why the gate remains closed at all times.

Sunday opening times will remain the same (9:30am-11:00am), however, please bear this in mind when arranging your plans as I can’t always extend your stay when you realise you will need a afternoon collection. My office is now remaining closed on a Sunday so please note any messages or booking requests sent late Saturday or Sunday will be addressed on a Monday.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading the above, sorry if it appears a little blunt in places, but I hope you understand to provide the best service and care for your cats as well as balance our time and privacy I am having to clamp down on certain things.

Thanks folks, take care and stay safe.

Evening folks…. I just wanted to thank everybody for their reactions, comments, and the private messages I received following my post the other day after losing my boy Tom. I’ve been totally humbled by your kindness. As many of you know Tom was a very precious companion and friend to me. I feel totally honoured to have had him in my life for so long and he did his best to stay with us as long as he could. We threw another 3 dogs at him and 4 grandchildren and he loved and protected each one in turn he had the kindest soul I’ve ever encountered in anyone. He is now back home with his family and plans are afoot to make him as comfy and peaceful as we can until he joins me when I fall off my perch too! Rest in peace my perfect friend ###

Goodbye my darling TommyJ… my world is a smaller and darker place today without you.

When the sun got big, and the night came down,
We used to share a drink - and let the demons out.
We let the good times rock, you made the bad times roll
We used to laugh a lot, you had a lot of soul.
Old friends in better times.
And when the going got hard,
When times were tough.
We put our backs to the wall,
You used to strut your stuff.
With a head held high, and a heart so big,
One fist at the sky and shake a leg.
Old friends in better times
(Even though, even though we miss you now
Look forward don't look back
We'll get by somehow)
And so I raise my glass in a last goodbye!
Sleep in peace old friend, for me you'll never die.
The best thing I can say, after all this time, is
You were a real friend, of mine.
Old friends in better times.

Merry Christmas Everyone….
The cattery office and reception are now closed until the 27th, any messages will be replied to between Christmas and New Year.
Don’t forget if you want to make a booking for next year at this year’s prices do so no later than the 31st.
My apologies to anyone who hasn’t received a Christmas card this year, I’m afraid it’s been a tough month for me losing my mate Jacky, and all things Christmas have been down my list of importance…. Please do be reassured your friendships, kind comments and of course your business have been very much appreciated over the last year.
Have an amazing time whatever your plans are and I look forward to a new year and seeing you all again. ###

Hi Folks

Good Morning Folks…
Yesterday I lost a great mate and my right hand woman in the cattery.
Many of you met Jacky at some point over the years and it is with a heavy heart I have to announce that she passed away yesterday following a battle with skin cancer.
She has been the only person I have ever trusted to keep things going when I have had to step back from work, she was caring trustworthy and reliable and I knew 100% that all our residents were in the best of hands when I wasn’t around.
Jacky was the most stubborn, principled person I have ever met, she was a vegetarian and I would often wind her up by sending her pictures of my meaty dinners particularly my steaks and I can’t repeat the sharp biting comebacks I would receive in return. Even in the past days I commented to her that her hospital menu indicated that the chicken casserole was a healthy option, but this time there were no snappy comebacks but I know somewhere in her psyche she was giving me grief. Thanks to the powers that run the universe I was able to visit her on Sunday afternoon at Lyndsey Lodge to say a final goodbye.
I’m going to miss you Jack both personally and professionally sleep well my love and I truly hope for everyone’s sake that wherever you are looking down from there’s a veggie option on the menu! Love you mate ❤️

I will be posting some links in the coming days regarding skin cancer information. Please please check your skin regularly and get your loved one or best mate! to check the bits you can’t see and if you are unsure about anything new or something that is changing on your skin get it checked out as soon as possible. Hopefully it’s nothing but it might just be something that might just kill you too.

Good Morning Folks… I hope everyone is well and looking forward to Christmas!

So the cattery reopens again on Friday after my November break, we have managed to do a few maintenance jobs but the weather scuppered most of the plans as the garden has been a bog most of the time.

A couple of quick housekeeping notes for 2024…

Unfortunately due to the ever increasing cost of running the cattery over the last year and no end in sight to the soaring cost of electricity etc. the cost of boarding will increase again by £1 a day across all tariffs. This increase will come in to place on 1st January 2024 and will only apply to bookings made on or after that date, any bookings already made for 2024 will not be affected. Therefore, if you have definite plans and you want to make a booking please get in touch before the new year.
Availability next year is already limited at times especially May Bank Holiday where there are now only 2 places available, and August Bank Holiday where there are only 3 places available, so please if you want those places get in touch.

Especially after the price increases I had to make earlier in the year putting them up again hasn’t been an easy decision because I know we are all on tight budgets at the moment, but if I am to continue to offer the best accommodation and care for your cats I don’t have a choice.
Thank you to everyone who has visited so far this year and I really look forward to seeing you all again soon x

Morning Folks
Just a quick reminder that the cattery is now closed and will reopen on 1st December.
I will be checking messages periodically throughout the month, and I will reply in due course.
Thanks to everyone who has boarded their cats this year is been another awesome summer, but it’s now time for me to sleep for a week!
Thanks again xx

Hi Good Morning Folks
Well….. following a very upsetting experience one of my lovely owners has had to endure following one of my recent posts on Facebook, a post incidentally I gained permission from her to do. I have decided that I will no longer be posting anything other than important information stuff regarding the cattery. Social media is not my favourite thing in the world, but it has been a vital tool over the years to keep you all in touch with us, and particularly in Covid lockdowns it was an amazing experience doing the quizzes etc and dealing with the daily onslaught of crap we had to endure together. You will still be able to direct message me through the FB or Instagram pages, but there will be no more posts other than the vital stuff to keep you in the loop.
I currently have literally hundreds of blocked numbers both on my mobile and landline from call centres and individuals trying to sell to me and scam me… so again please please please if you ring and I don’t answer leave a short message and I will ring you back.
I’m sorry I’ve had to make this decision but I refuse to let this aspect of my business be used to target others with whatever someone thinks is acceptable….. and to the person who keeps emailing me to say my Norton computer cover is about to expire leaving me vulnerable to viruses and scams unless I click on the link please note the following 🤬🤬🤬🤬 and have a lovely day.

I currently have availability for the week leading up to Halloween or as it’s commonly known ‘half term’.

My day started with the worst news, my friend Big Ron had passed away.
I can honestly say he had the kindest, gentlest soul I’ve come across in the past 11 years.
He was only with me last week but I would never have guessed just how poorly he was.
My thoughts are with Dawn and her family at this sad time.
Sleep well you lovely man xx

Hi Folks…
As I’m writing this it is absolutely hammering it down with rain, arh for the British summer eh?!

Just a quick housekeeping message. Spaces now for this year are very very limited, the next available “week” is now in October, there are some odd spaces available before then so please do contact me if you just need a couple of days stay.
I will again be closed in November for my yearly break and will be reopening on Fri 1st Dec.

2024….. I currently have bookings in every month next year so please if you have any definite plans contact me and let’s secure your place. No provisional bookings please firm dates only!

So.. the cattery is extremely busy for the rest of the year, my days start at 6:30am and end at 9:00pm, if you are trying to contact me either by landline or mobile and there is no answer please do leave a short message and I will call you back as soon as I can. Any messages I receive via email or social media again I will answer as soon as possible, at the very latest the next day. During busy times I do not always answer the phone, my priority is the care and welfare of my guests and their owners so please do bear with me … leave a message and I’ll call you back. Any messages left after 5pm will be replied to the next day.

Don’t forget I am open over the Christmas and New Year period, so start making those plans and secure your place as they are starting to get booked up.

As always I’m am so grateful for your support and custom, please bear with me during these busy times.
