Why We Ask So Many Questions About Your Cat

🐾 Why We Ask So Many Questions About Your Cat 🐈

At Broadlands Cattery, we understand that sometimes our booking forms and check-in questions can feel rather detailed 😅📋

But there is a very important reason for this — every single question helps us provide the safest, happiest and most personalised stay possible for your cat ❤️

No two cats are the same, and getting to know your cat properly before their stay helps us ensure they settle in comfortably and receive the individual care they deserve 🐾

We ask about your cat's feeding habits because routine is incredibly important to cats.

Some cats:

• prefer small meals throughout the day
• only eat certain foods
• can be sensitive to sudden changes
• may need encouragement when settling in

Knowing their normal habits helps us spot quickly if something is out of character 👀

If your cat requires medication, supplements or special care, detailed instructions help us continue their routine exactly as they are used to at home 🩺

We also ask about:

• veterinary details
• medical conditions
• allergies
• mobility issues
• previous illnesses

This helps us provide safe, professional care throughout their stay.

One of the most important things we ask about is your cat's personality ❤️

Some cats arrive and instantly make themselves at home…
Others may prefer a quieter approach while they settle in.

Knowing whether your cat is:

• nervous
• vocal
• shy
• highly sociable
• food motivated
• playful
• independent

…helps us tailor their care and interaction individually 🐾

We often recommend bringing familiar bedding or favourite blankets.

Cats are very scent-orientated animals, and familiar smells can provide enormous reassurance during their stay 🛏️

Sometimes the smallest comforts make the biggest difference.

The more we know about your cat before they arrive, the better prepared we can be to make their stay calm, comfortable and stress-free.

Our aim is always to treat every guest as an individual — because to us, they are never "just another cat" 🐈✨

Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed information when booking with us. It genuinely helps us give your cats the highest standard of care possible 🐾
