It is a good idea to book well in advance to ensure that we have room for your cat, particularly during busy holiday periods, e.g. Easter, the summer months and Christmas/New Year.

Do we take holidays ourselves?
We previously opened all year round. However, this winter 2017-2018 we will be taking two breaks. We will close on 1st November 2017 and we will reopen on 7th December 2017. We will also be closing the cattery from 10th January 2018 and will reopen on 1st March 2018. This winter we need to do some maintenance on the cattery and some work on the trees behind it and in order to do this we will require the buildings to be empty. Most cats I know don’t take too kindly to the noise of a chainsaw – or workmen for that matter! We hope this does not inconvenience any of our valued clients.
Inspection
We welcome and actively encourage inspection of our cattery. However, please consider that our guests are our absolute priority so we would ask you to make an appointment in advance. The best time to call to see the cattery is 5pm and we can arrange this time for almost any day.
How to Book?
The first thing you need to do is to check availability on your chosen dates. You may email us here cuddlescattery@gmail.com to check or give us a call on 091 875 691.
Once we confirm that we have available suite you may download Booking Form here , complete it and email it to us.
Of course you would be very welcome to come to see the facilities at Cuddles prior to booking. Just contact us and we can arrange a mutually suitable time for you to call.
Useful information when transporting your cat to Cuddles
Please make sure your cat has not eaten for at least 2-3 hours before travelling. Many felines do not travel well and if they are ill they can become very stressed. It also helps a cat to settle if he or she eats shortly after coming into the cattery. We have found that it is not necessarily a good idea to fast your cat completely before coming here as many become suspicious when they realise they’re skipping breakfast!
What to Pack?
Vaccination Record Card – for the health and safety of all cats in the cattery, no cat can be admitted without full, current vaccinations. Please also see terms and conditions on our booking form.
A bed or blanket that your cat normally uses (unwashed). If your cat sleeps in a human’s bed, put a towel or blanket or rug underneath him or her for a few nights before boarding and bring that.
Any special food that you would like given to your cat during his/her stay.
Some favourite toys.
A scratching post (if your cat has one) or a favourite scratching mat.
A brush or comb if your cat has one. Remember to let us know if you cat does not like being brushed in a certain area!
Any other items that will fit into the pen and will make your pet feel more comfortable.
