Pleasing 4 Pets

When you are busy planning for a holiday or preparing to spend a weekend away from home, it’s all too easy to forget about the welfare of your feline friend whilst you are aware. As part of your preparation for any trip you should take into consideration your cat’s requirements, and should try wherever possible to plan your pets care in advance.

One of the most obvious ways to ensure that your cat is cared for appropriately in your absence is to board him at a cattery for the duration of your trip. Your vet should be able to recommend a local cattery with a good reputation and professional pet insurance. You should bear in mind that responsible catteries will require confirmation that your cat is up to date with his vaccinations, so remember to have your cats most recent inoculation certificate to hand when making a reservation.

Friends or family may offer to look after your cat whilst you take a trip, but should always ensure that they are fully aware of what is involved in providing adequate care for a pet. You should take into consideration whether your cat will be accepted and welcomed by all members of their families, including any existing pets that they might have.

Cat may often be more contented and at ease if they stay at your home whilst you are away, but you should ensure that a responsible friend or dependable neighbour visits your home a minimum of twice daily to feed him and give him clean water. You should always remember to leave a telephone number for your vet and a contact number where the carer for your cat can reach you in case of an emergency.
