For the safety and protection of visitors, customers and staff at Haven Farm Cattery the following changes have been implemented to ensure the Cattery can operate safely. Advise has been sought from vets and government guidelines are being adhered to.

Please ensure you read and understand the implication of the current operating changes and if you have any questions telephone to discuss. Ring the landline 01359 221207.

Haven Farm Cattery has always had a very high infection control regime. All cat pens are cleaned daily and have been deep cleaned and disinfected between cats.

In order to operate safely and reduce any risks we are occupying every other unit and between occupation a period of 72 hours will be given between occupation. (Thorough disinfection will be followed by the unit remaining unoccupied).

Corridors, doors and gates will be disinfected throughout the day.

The office and grounds will be out of bounds to everyone except those working here.

Due to the amount of additional cleaning required between handling each cat it is only possible to accept a small number of cats for boarding. The only way to maintain high levels of infection control and to meet social distancing rules is to ensure customers deliver and collect at allotted times and do not enter the premises.
