smallpaws-cattery

Small Paws is a small cattery licenced by Argyll and Bute Council for 30 cats,and is built to EEC standards.  It is family run and we have plenty of time to cuddle the cats to make them feel welcome and at home. I have been  involved with cat rescue for over 20 years -the cattery was opened  in 1994 after many requests from people who needed somewhere for their cats to go when they themselves went away on holiday. My profession in my first life was nursing, so I’ve swapped caring for people for caring for cats!

Each chalet has heat lamps (which heat the air and the whole cat, and not just the underside of the cat as you get  with a heated bed) and has its own covered run. You are welcome to bring your cat’s own bed, toys and treats,and  anything else you think might help your wee friend to settle in. One thing necessary to bring is an old unwashed T-shirt or jumper of your own to put in your cat’s bed. Please also bring a telephone number where you, or somebody who can make decisions for you, can be contacted in an emergency while you are away.

An up-to-date certificate of vaccination against cat ‘flu’ and feline enteritis is essential, and should be brought  with you.

The cats have the radio to listen to all day to bring a touch of home, we don’t have silly gimmicks like DVD players!

All ages of cats are welcome, medication can be given at no extra cost as long as you bring it with you, and grooming can be done if necessary.

A collection and delivery service is available to and from Oban for a small extra charge.
Boarding fees are very reasonable and all-inclusive. Please contact me for details.

The cattery is open every day of the year:
from 8.30am – 12.30 in the morning (weekdays and Saturdays).
from 4.30pm – 6pm in the evening (weekdays and Saturdays).
from 9am – 1pm on Sundays.
Inspection is invited before you book your wee cat in.
