From April 2008 we will be offering a three day residential, intensive practical course on cattery mangagement.

Our courses run from April to October, on a strictly , one to one basis, covering the day to day running of a successful Boarding Cattery. Also, taking you through all the paperwork involved from first contact with the customer to final invoice.

Is it for me?
If you are undecided whether a boarding cattery is for you, this course is ideal. A boarding cattery is a way of life, a 24 hour commitment, not just a job.

The nature of the course is quite intensive and students must be prepared for strenuos activity on the three day course . There will, of course be lighter moments and a good a sense of humour is always encouraged!

At the end of the course you will be given specimen documents and templates that we use in our cattery.
