We will endeavour to contact the owner or representative if time permits, otherwise any treatment deemed necessary will be carried out without the owners consent. The owner shall be responsible for all costs incurred.

 

All cats must be transported to and from the resort in an appropriate cat carrier/cage.

 

Our cat resort will administer medication to all manageable cats. However, should a cat risk causing harm to our staff or to itself whilst medication is being administered, making it impossible to treat the cat, then it will be necessary for the cat to be cared for by a vet, either at our resort, or at the vet clinic. Any vet fees incurred in this situation will be charged to the cat owner prior to release.

 

Grooming will be carried out as necessary, however, our cat resort will not be responsible for grooming any cat that gets distressed or risks causing harm to staff whilst being groomed.

They will need to be kept either in the isolation room or other arrangements made by ourselves.

 

Debts:

Any unpaid accounts will be transferred to a collection agency and any fees incurred passed on to the client.
