If your pet if found to have fleas, Acaster reserves the right to seek veterinary advice, the vet may treat your pet with an appropriate flea treatment, the cost of this treatment will be payable on your return. To avoid this, please use a regular flea prevention treatment.

Client Obligations

Clients are encouraged to provide their cat food, this ensures the cats diet remains consistent and reduces the potential of stomach upsets/diarrhoea.

Clients authorise Acaster Luxury Cattery to obtain emergency veterinary care that may be necessary whilst boarding. The client accepts full responsibility for any charges related to this emergency care. The client also authorises Acaster to use a vet of their choice to administer the care. Acaster will make every effort to use the animals registered vet however depending on then illness the local vet registered with Acaster Boarding would be used.

Every effort would be made to contact the owners to advise them of the situation (should a vet be required) unless the owners give specific instructions not to.

Clients can provide any items such as bedding, toys and treats. No bean bags please.
