Dick Whittington's Cattery, Hockliffe

Dick Whittington's Cattery, Hockliffe We are a large boarding cattery in Hockliffe. We only care for cats so we are able to provide a rela
(43)

We have various types of accommodation to suit every cats needs, 18 outside chalets that can accommodate up to two cats sharing,all of our accommodation is suitable for those who dont find it too easy to get around, with floor level access or ramps. For those who don't like to venture outside at all we have 8 inside rooms which enable the cats to stay indoors at all times, these are also super for

recuperation after operations or injuries as well as those who are frail or very young. We only care for cats so there are no dogs barking to distress your cat. The chalets all look out onto a lovely large garden full of fruit trees, flowers and well maintained lawn. There is a little bubbling stream that runs along the back of the cattery which also provides a lovely array of wildlife including ducks for the cats to see as they often visit the garden. All of the chalets catch the sun at some point during the day so no-one gets left out from sun bathing! Our staff are all trained how to administer medication for common niggles, many cats, like people need to be given regular medication for various non-infectious conditions and this can be difficult when planning to leave your cat. We will administer their usual medication free of charge so you can be sure their health will not be put at risk. We even take care of Diabetic cats who need regular insulin injections. We have close relationships with local vets to ensure that in the unlikely event of an emergency the very best of care will be given to your cat immediately. Our staff have attended events on emergency first aid, as well as having good knowledge of parasites such as fleas and worms. This means we are able to offer free advice about worming and fleas, as well as offer treatments to keep them at bay. The staff also have some training in grooming, especially long-haired cats. This also allows us to offer nail clipping treatments at a very reasonable price. Most of all we aim to make your cat feel like she is one of the family and be happy, safe and content while she stays with us. We hope that in turn this puts you at ease and gives you one less worry while you are away.

So we have been busy getting everything perfect for all the cats! With NEW tunnels, bedding, beds and toys! Its been horrible having to throw away all of our lovely things that the cats have enjoyed due to the flood water damage, but the new things are lovely and are being enjoyed by all! From ping pong balls, new ball towers, scratch posts, fluffy blankets, tunnels and tents, even some funky catnip octopusses too!! All thanks to your support through the just giving page ❤️

These wonderful boys are at Aylesbury Cat Rescue… get in touch with them if you think they could be for you!

They have been homed
Day 212 in the Aylesbury Cat Rescue Cattery. 5 year old Bengal brothers Snowy and Pushok find themselves in desperate need of the right type of home. They’ve made great strides during their time here. Having learned how to play, they have great fun in their tunnel. They love water! If given the chance to play with it they will get it everywhere! As is typical of Bengals, the boys also love to climb, so they need a large cat tree, as well as other things of various heights to climb and toys to keep them amused. The lads especially love chasing each other around, but the lack of space in the cattery combined with the length of time they have been here have led to them starting to become depressed, so they urgently need to find their forever home together (they adore each other and love to curl up together at night).

Bengals make fabulous pets for experienced owners, or those who are willing to learn about their care and specific needs. They are active, curious, dog-like cats, who need to be kept entertained with toys, games and plenty of environmental enrichment for hours at a time. They delight in human company, but are not natural lap cats. No matter their appeal however, if you are looking for a cat or cats who lie around looking handsome, Bengals are not the cat for you. Given their territorial nature with other animals they have not been raised with, as well as their speed, athleticism and taste for mayhem, it isn’t safe to unleash them on your neighbours or the wider world. They need either a cat-proofed garden, or an indoor home with a large catio to give them the outdoor time and fresh air they crave. Snowy and Pushok need a home that meets all these requirements and is located within 20 miles of Aylesbury, Bucks, with no other pets. They aren’t suited to a home with children, but could live with teenagers. They are neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and are up to date with their flea and worm treatment. If after reading all this you think you could offer them the home they so need and deserve, please get in touch via our social media or at [email protected]

Good morning 🥶

When you have a chatty cat! Excuse my chatter back.. 🙈 love her!

The pond has been looking rather sad over winter... the pump broke and its just been too cold to be armpit deep in freezing water. Today i braved it and the result is a lovely waterfall, flowers tidied up and the little fairy garden all now up the right way after blowing round the garden in the winds!! Quite happy with the result... and i just love the sound of running water 😊
