EXPRESS SERVICE
Our EXPRESS service involves handover of cat in carry cage at Reception (or your car) instead of
seeing your cat into or from their boarding unit. Feel free to request this if you need to be somewhere in a hurry, it helps you out for us to get your cat ready to go, or you find it hard to get your cat into their carry cage. Of course if you need a contactless process then this is the one to request.
Need some wiggle room? We also provide our EXPRESS service for check-in and check-out 30 minutes either side of our normal hours, by prior arrangement and without extra charge.
Please note:
EXPRESS check-in: we do expect a discussion with you on your cat’s current health status if
- you are a new client
- your cat has existing health conditions
- your cat has a new condition/requirements.
EXPRESS check-out: please provide an arrival time and update us as necessary on the day. This will ensure that your cat spends the minimum amount of time sitting in their cage waiting.
OUT OF HOURS
We appreciate you respecting our opening hours and the appointments (check-in and check-out dates and times) that you have booked. By prior arrangement we may open outside our normal hours. Note that we also have shutdowns as indicated in Holiday Closures, any agreed check-ins and check-outs during this time are Out of Hours.
Out of Hours fee will apply (see Rates).
Check out our EXPRESS service if you need a little wiggle room around our open hours.
