Our Cattery in East Ayrshire

Jacqualine Ferguson has been the owner of this property since 2000 and decided to convert her love of animals into a business by deciding to open this new Cattery in April 2013.

Here are 5 reasons why choosing us is the right choice:

• Passionate family run business
• The Cattery is fully licensed and insured
• All year round boarding
• Short and long stay available
• Pet collection and drop off service available if required (Separate costing for this service)

The Lintmill Cattery is kept under continuous supervision with Chalets housed in our large gardens. We have 26 Chalets available 18 suitable for up to 2 cats, 7 for up to 4 cats and 1 for up to 5 or cats. Ensuring cats from the same household are able to share accommodation.

Our purpose built cattery was designed using the Feline Advisory boards (FAB) guidelines to ensure the comfort of your feline pets. Each Chalet has under floor heating or heating radiators. 10 units have 2 levels to access outside runs (ground level for older or infirm pets via a cat flap or via window on shelf area).

Each cat has access to an attached covered outdoor run / play area to let them stretch out and every chalet is equipped with scratching posts, beds and toys. Grooming is also available.

Here at the Lintmill Cattery we try to offer a routine that captures our guests’ home routine as closely as possible ensuring they settle comfortably. We try to spend quality time with each guest to ensure they have plenty of human contact during their stay.

For the safety of your pet and those belonging to others please insure that you have addressed the following health requirements prior to checking your cat into the cattery:

• All cats require having full and up to date vaccinations for Cat flu and Feline Enteritis.
• Vaccination certificates must be brought when you are checking in your pets.
• An emergency contact number as well as your pets vet details must be provided at check-in.
• Please ensure that your cat’s flea treatment and worming treatment are up to date prior to admission
• Please advise any special dietary need or medical treatment required at time of boarding.

Veterinary attention is always available.

We recommend you provide your pet’s normal bedding, toys or item of clothing with a familiar smell to help your cat settle.

We are happy to accept cats on medication where treatment is being overseen by a veterinary practice and have access to a local vets practice with 24 hour cover available if your cat’s health requires it.

We are unable to take cats with infections or contagious diseases and if your cat is ill at the time of arrival that has not been monitored by your vet we will refuse admission. If your cat requires medical attention during their stay all uninsured pet’s fees must be borne by the owner.
