Vaccination

All cats must be vaccinated to the F3 level at least two weeks prior to arrival. In accordance with PIAA (Pet Industry Association of Australia) recommendations, a copy of the current vaccination certificate must given to us prior to or upon arrival to board, if for some reason you do not have this then we can check with most vets but this must be done at least 1 week prior to arrival so please inform us of this at the time of booking.

Worming

All cats should be regularly treated for worms, since there are a number of different treatments on the market we need to know which treatment you use and when the last one was administered. Please have the treatment up to date before boarding your cat.
