Why are catteries so expensive??? Looking for one near Worthing and cheapest is £7.20 a day plus insurance! What a racket, they must be making a fortune.

Doesn't seem over the top to me. There is more than just food to pay for, and i suppose you do want a decent cattery for your cat. You will probably get it cheaper but may well be grotty and unclean.:eek: Haven't you got a good neighbour who will look after it for you? Mine looks after my 3, she is brilliant. Don't know what i would do without her.

£3.50 a day for one cat and £5.00 for 2 sharing the same pen like ours do and this includes food and heating etc. They love it there and always seem a tad disappointed to see us walking up the path to collect them. We are in the Midlands.

Interesting..... I think we have found another example of the North or Midlands South divide.

Dont forget you will need full Immunizing certificates for a cattery.

£9.50 a day for our two cats. I didn't have much choice as one of my cats has a severe flea allergy so the cat areas had to be far apart from each other. They are also able to give my cat her tablets.

This isnt always the case and I know from using a number of catteries over the years that their policies do differ.

If your cats immunisations are not up to date some catteries will still take the cats but at your risk. I realised my one cats innoculations were not up to date and obviously took her straight to the vets to start a course but was aware that we would be away when the 2nd batch was required. I called the cattery and they said as long as I was aware that the cat was at risk and not the other way around i.e. other cats in the cattery, then she would accept her.

Our cat is French, so she has all the vaccinations etc.but have never been asked for them at a cattery.
