How to choose a cattery in Greater Manchester
For a cat, look for secure individual accommodation with a hiding place, elevated resting space, clean litter facilities and a double-door or similarly controlled entrance. Ask whether the cattery is physically and acoustically separated from dogs, how often each cat is checked, and how staff record appetite, drinking, litter use and signs of stress. Confirm that unfamiliar cats are never expected to share a unit.
What to prepare for your cat’s stay
For cat boarding, prepare the cat’s vaccination record, secure carrier, usual food, medication instructions, veterinary details and an emergency contact. Ask about parasite treatment and identification requirements. Tell the cattery about hiding behaviour, litter preference, eating habits, medical conditions and previous stress, and ask whether familiar bedding or a small item carrying the cat’s home scent is permitted.

How many catteries and cat-boarding establishments are listed in Greater Manchester?

Should cats be housed away from dogs?

Which vaccinations does a cat need before boarding?
Requirements vary by establishment and the cat’s circumstances. Ask which feline vaccinations and parasite treatments are required, when they must be completed and whether the current record must be presented.
What should I take for my cat’s stay?
Use a secure carrier and provide the requested vaccination record, food instructions, medication and emergency contacts. Ask whether familiar bedding or a small scent item is allowed and tell staff about appetite, litter and stress habits.
