πΎ Why We Ask So Many Questions About Your Cat π
At Broadlands Cattery, we understand that sometimes our booking forms and check-in questions can feel rather detailed π π
But there is a very important reason for this β every single question helps us provide the safest, happiest and most personalised stay possible for your cat β€οΈ
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 πΎ
π½οΈ Feeding & RoutineWe 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 π
π Medication & Health InformationIf your cat requires medication, supplements or special care, detailed instructions help us continue their routine exactly as they are used to at home π©Ί
We also ask about:
- veterinary details
- medical conditions
- allergies
- mobility issues
- previous illnesses
This helps us provide safe, professional care throughout their stay.
πΊ Personality & BehaviourOne of the most important things we ask about is your cat's personality β€οΈ
Some cats arrive and instantly make themselves at homeβ¦
Others may prefer a quieter approach while they settle in.
Knowing whether your cat is:
- nervous
- vocal
- shy
- highly sociable
- food motivated
- playful
- independent
β¦helps us tailor their care and interaction individually πΎ
π§Έ Favourite Comforts From HomeWe often recommend bringing familiar bedding or favourite blankets.
Cats are very scent-orientated animals, and familiar smells can provide enormous reassurance during their stay ποΈ
Sometimes the smallest comforts make the biggest difference.
β€οΈ It's All About Individual CareThe 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 β because to us, they are never "just another cat" πβ¨
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 πΎ
