Purrfections Cattery

When you look after a cat with fractured pelvis but catch your own stealing their food its time to have words with the cat !

Have you ever wondered what cats actually see? A cats retina (a layer of cells at the back of the eye that converts light into nerve impulse) is made up of rods and cones. In a cats retina, the majority of the cells are rods (almost three times of that in the human eye). These are highly sensitive and are the reason that cats can see so well in low light. 🐈 Although cats can see well in low light, the image is quite grainy (compared to humans) 🐈 Less cones in the retina means less colour so cats can only see yellow and blue (and the combination of these, green) 🐈 Cats cannot see the colour Red 🐈 Cats pay little attention to colour, instead they take their cues from brightness and patterns 🐈 So colour vision is sacrificed for improved vision in low light 🐈 Seeing the world this way allows cats to detect subtle movement very well and this can help to detect prey, without the distraction of bright colours

Be aware of the dangers of Antifreeze when it comes to our cats 🐈 If you suspect you cat may have ingested in, call your vet immediately 📞

Antifreeze is commonly used in the winter months to prevent cars and pipes from freezing up ❄️ It can make its way on to the ground through dripping and leakage and can be licked and ingested by our cats, due to it's sweet taste. Common Signs of Antifreeze poisoning are : - Vomiting - Excessive drinking - Incoordination - Increased urination - Seizures (fits) - Panting/heavy breathing If you suspect that your pet has been exposed to antifreeze, call your vet immediately. Let's keep our cats safe this winter 🐱

What do you think is going on here?? Leo is the latest addition to the Purrfections Cattery family and introducing him to Fluffy was an important part of this. Any cat introduction should be taken slowly and in stages. Preparing the environment is an important part of this too. What advice do you think Fluffy is sharing with Leo?

We think Luna is, as she enjoys her comfy blanket 🤩 Each chalet at Purrfections Cattery has plenty of comfortable bedding for your cat. However, we encourage you to bring your cats own bed or blanket too. If your cat sleeps on your bed then put a towel or blanket underneath him or her for a few nights before boarding and bring that with you, to bring some smells from home with them.

Leo is the latest addition to the Purrfections Cattery family 😻 He found his way to Donna's workplace as a stray and definitely landed on the right doorstep...🥰 Did your kitty come into your life as a stray? We would love to see your photos 😻

This amazing trio - Gizmo, Boris and Tabby - are regular visitors here at Purrfections Cattery 😻 If you have a family unit that would like to board together, we can accommodate up to three cats from the same household 🐈🐈🐈 We have a large chalet that can safely sleep three cats. The chalet has a heated pad, viewing windows and an adjoining ladder. The chalet adjoins an extra-large run which excels requirements for three cats

Beautiful Blue 😻 Do you share your home with a white cat?? We would love to see your photos 📸

It's almost Halloween and we just had to celebrate some of the black cats who have visited Purrfections cattery recently - Ebony, Harri and Micky 😻 Do you share your home with a black cat? We would love to see some photos 📸

Gorgeous Cooper chose to rest on on some comfy blankets instead of using the bed provided 😹 Does your cat do this too?

At Purrfections Cattery we provide a home away from home for your kitty 😻 If Blue could talk, she would agree! 😉 We are a family owned cattery and we strive to provide a stress-free homely environment for your cat. Because we are a small cattery you can rest assured that your cat will receive lots of human care and attention during their stay. Blue recently had surgery when she stayed with us so spent time relaxing and recovering in her comfortable chalet 💜

Handsome Tom took in all of the sights during his stay with us, from the highest vantage point in his chalet. Each chalet provides options for your cat to perch at different levels. Did you know that as a species cats like to use any available vertical height? As natural predators this gives them a way to survey their environment while also providing safety (remember cats are a prey species too).

Happy Monday from Gizmo, who is enjoying some qt relaxing on his extra fluffy bedding 😻 Each chalet at Purrfections Cattery has plenty of comfortable bedding for your cat. However, we encourage you to bring your cats own bed or blanket too. If your cat sleeps on your bed then put a towel or blanket underneath him or her for a few nights before boarding and bring that with you, to bring some smells from home with them.

Georgie is 5 months old and was spayed just 3 days before this video was taken 😻 We provide plenty of enrichment for your cats when they stay with us. In fact, Georgie has so many different toys that she is spoilt for choice 😹 If you are planning a winter break then get in touch with us. We can provide your cat with a home away from home while you enjoy some downtime 🐈
