This is my response to the Article in the newspaper.

I just wanted to say that this report is very one sided & I wasn't even asked for a comment. I was seriously ill in hospital when this happened. Apparently pictures were taken by a whistle blower (or when they raided? My cattery is usually excellent & when they raided & in the letter withdrawing my licence there were 4 too many cats in so there was absolutely no reason for this & I haven't been given one. The member of staff in charge was fairly new, apparently they raided early so I guess there hadn't been time to sort out incoming cats etc. I did a survey as ebvidence of how happy customers were with our cattery. If anyone would like a copy just ask me. No one from the council has even bothered to talk to me or look at the possible mitigating reasons. think the last comment by the council leader says it all: 'the cats were examined by the RSPCA & found to be in good health despite being kept in unsuitable conditions' He then goes on to speculate: 'this strikes me as fortunate rather than by design'. I think this says it all!! My only crime was that I had 4 too many cats in by trying to help people as so many catteries have had to shut don in the area. I was turning upwards of 6 people a day down (many in tears). I love cats & never made any money at all - (I didn't want to. nThere is absolutely nothing in the 68 pages of guidance saying what to do if you are seriously ill in hospital! I did what I thought was best & all cats were very well looked after & happy. I feel both myself, cats owners & mainly cats plus students on placement have been treated very unfairly by both the council & whoever the whistle blower was (I wonder what they hoped to get out of this?) & also be the ET for not bothering to get a statement from mne. The ET have missed a big scoop here because here is a chronic shortage of cattery & kennel boardi9ng places all over the country which t6o me boarders on cruelty. When I did 10 years fostering with Cats Protection there were numerous cats coming in who were abandoned. I am the 20th cattery in this area which has shut for various reasons. There is now no where for cats to board at a reasonable price. I have also found out the guidance is entirely down to the councils interpretation & there is absolutely no where to go for any help, support (other than my lovely cat owners & family) or advice.. If anyone wants to make any comments or suggestions other than on here my e-mail address is: [email protected] I'm so sorry to everyone that the cattery is now closed. I have tried everything I can to keep it open. Maybe others will find ways forward! Please forgive any mistakes in this message -my hands don't work well.

Our Story

Our Staff:

We have several members of staff who are very dedicated to the cats and cattery. We have Rowan who is our lovely apprentice, also a Saturday and a Sunday girl and we also have Moulton College students on placements and volunteers who simply love cats. So there is no shortage of people to stroke cats and look after their every need!

Rowan our apprentice has grown up around animals and has in the past had dealings with Barn Owls and Ferrets. At the moment she has two cats and a dog. She loves working in the cattery and is always up for cuddles with them!

Naomi our Saturday girl has an English Bulldog at home as well as her cat. She enjoys keeping the Cattery ‘purrfectly’ clean and tidy for our holiday residents.

Sophie our Sunday girl has rabbits and hamsters at home. Sophie is studying Animal Welfare at Moulton College and is just finishing her placement here. However we won’t be loosing her as she will still be our ‘Sunday girl’! She loves Phoenix, Maureen’s somewhat elderly and high maintenance house rabbit. She enjoys working in the cattery and knows that this will really help her with future opportunities as Maureen’s standards are so high.

Nicole looks after her hamster at home along with some fish and enjoys spending time with family and friends. She also loves meeting cat owners and reassuring them and helping the cats to settle in. Nicole enjoyed her first year on placement from Moulton College so much that she has come back for her second year!

Amy loves swimming but when she is not swimming she is looking after her own three cats. She volunteers at the Cattery as part of her Duke of Edinburgh award. She loves ensuring that the cats have toys to play with and spending time with them.

Michael has two kittens and is loving watching them grow up. He also keeps tropical fish and plays in a reggae band. He enjoys ensuring the cats get the same food as at home and making friends with them and talking to them . He comes as a volunteer two hours a week.

Our handyman Scott helps keep the cattery running in good order and is sometimes required to squeeze into the tightest of cat sized gaps! Scott and Mark have recently helped to trim back our large Eucalyptus tree which was overhanging the cattery and is attempting to make oil from the leaves! BMX riding and snowboarding keep him busy when he is off duty.

Maureen, our owner, has two dedicated house helpers. ‘Ginny’ who ,loves to sit on any paperwork, especially if it’s being worked on by Maureen. Winston her brother, a handsome ginger boy, likes to see who is coming into the garden. He thinks he is in charge! Phoenix, the house rabbit lives mainly in the conservatory/work room. Her small cattery was started as a hobby when she retired because she loves cats so much. It rapidly turned into the thriving small business it is today. Maureen is passionate about cat’s welfare and makes a yearly donation to a cat’s charity from the cattery. She is also passionate about giving young people a good start in their working life and takes her placements very seriously. The cattery is a very happy place with a really good team who all work together to do the very best they can for the cats on holiday.
