We currently
have twenty heated chalets of approximately 1.5 metres long x 1.5
metres wide x 2 metres high with outside runs approximately 2 metres
long x 1.5 metres wide x 2 metres high that can accommodate up to
three cats sharing from the same household.

The safety
corridor is accessed from the outside by a door that has an 'auto
close' locking mechanism that securely closes and locks the door after
you. The runs are accessed from the safety corridor and are fully
secured by 'Twillweld' and timber with a UPVC roof covering to fend
off the elements. Access to the outside run from the chalet is via
a door for us and for our guests a cat flap which can be locked open
during the day for those guests who have never used a cat flap before.

Each chalet
has a 'bolt hole' bed for the evenings and a 'day bed' with views
of the garden through the opening window. There is an 'off the floor'
feeding area where fresh water and the food of our guests choice is
presented daily and floor space for the litter tray. During the summer
months there is also a chair with a vetbed cover placed in the covered
run so our guests can take in the fen air in comfort.

When occupied,
each chalet is cleaned every morning and a clean litter tray and fresh
water provided. Then the guests are presented with fresh food depending
on their personal requirements. Our guests are then visited throughout
the day with sessions of light grooming and feline conversations.

For other entertainment there
is a radio playing during the day and our guests are encouraged to bring
with them any toys or playthings they may have to make their stay as enjoyable
as possible.
