Other Information

For the safety and security of all our guests, please ensure you transport your pet in an appropriate manner. It is a legal requirement that all animals be secured while travelling in vehicles. Lou Lou’s Cattery and Small Animal Boarding recommend transporting your pet in an appropriate-sized pet carrier with handle, that you can secure using a seat belt.
For first time guests, it is recommended that you bring something that smells of you, such as an old T-Shirt.
