Vaccinations & mandatory requirements
Cats who display any kind of illness or infection will not be admitted.
All cats must be presented in a clean, flea free condition and MUST be vaccinated minimum F3: vaccination (although F4 or F5 is recommended) Booster shots are to be administered at least 3 weeks prior to the boarding arrival dates.
If you are unable to provide a flea treatment such as Frontline, Advantage or Revolution for your cat, Acacia Grove Cattery will supply the treatment and this will be charged to your account.
In peak periods your cat needs and deserves every possible protection.
All boarders must hold a current vaccination certificate, which MUST be produced for verification on admittance to the cattery. We regret that in the best interests of other boarders there can be absolutely no exceptions. To avoid disappointment please be sure that your cats vaccination certificate is current.
To provide the upmost health security for all of our boarders there can be no exception to this requirement.
