Country Lane Cattery

Under the new laws for veterinary medicines (effective 17th May 2024):
All written prescriptions will need to contain the words “It is an offence under the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013 for a person to alter a written prescription unless authorised to do so by the person who signed it”.
This means that if Little Flossie comes in to Country Lane Cat Hotel with prescription drugs but her owner states that she's only giving Flossie a 2kg dose (instead of the 3kg one on the prescription) or only giving the tablets in the morning (and the label says am + pm) . . . then we have to go by the printed vet label. So please check that any medication you bring in for your cat has an up to date label that reflects how/when/what medication your cat should be given in the cattery, which may mean you having to take the animal for a vet consultation and get a new prescription BEFORE coming into the cattery.

I will no longer be able to accept those little pills in a plastic packet with no vet label, or human drugs, such as anti-histamines being given to pets. It is now a criminal offence to recommend, advise, or suggest that the client buy the human products for administering to their animal.

The last year has been a bit of a regulatory rollercoaster for anyone involved in the veterinary world. In 2023 we had the new Under Care regulations from the RCVS (our regulator), changing a lot of the details about how and when we are permitted to prescribe. Then we had the CMA report. And now [.....

From 10 June 2024 cats over 20 weeks old must be and registered on a compliant database 📆

By microchipping their cats, owners can increase the likelihood that they will be reunited with their beloved pet in the event that they go missing.

Rest in peace beautiful (inside and out) Marcie. I will miss your softest of fur and kind sweet nature.

Who did I chose to sit and have my afternoon cuppa with today? Cookie of course 😃😻🍪
Cookie has been coming to the cattery for years now and he truly regards it as his holiday home. Such a chilled character. His owners are truly lovely too and always bring me delicious Turkish Delight, yum!!

A lady has called me desperate to rehome her 2 year old dark male neutered Sphinx cat as they are moving to somewhere very hot at short notice and her cat will not be able to go outside there. If any of my customers are interested, please call me urgently on 07805006998. Thank you.

Such a harmonious vibe this week! A newbie and some old hands are reminding me that the Scaredy cats too can settle in and consider Country Lane Cat Hotel as their favourite holiday venue. Frequent visits are the secret 🤫

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common conditions affecting older cats. 🐈 To spot the early signs, remember PIILL👇

Poor appetite
Increased thirst
Increased urination
Loss of weight
Lethargy

🔬 CKD can be diagnosed by testing blood and urine, so get older cats checked once or twice a year by your vet.

🩸 CKD cats are likely to have high blood pressure (hypertension), so this should be checked too.

CKD is not curable or reversible, but support and treatment can slow its progression and help prolong and improve quality of life. 😺

Do you have a cat with CKD? Tell us about them 💬

I haven’t checked to see if this works, but thought I’d share in case it is useful 😉

Knowing we will all be busy over the next few days I thought I would take a moment now to wish all my lovely Cat Hotel customers a fabulous Christmas and New Year and I look forward to seeing many of you in 2023 x

What makes my cat hotel different? An adult size chair in each chalet for me to sit with the cats and share lap time. Keeps the cats happy and keeps me happy in this cold damp weather because I get to rest in the heated bedrooms!
