Elderly and Disabled Cats

Special care is provided for elderly and disabled cats. To set your mind at rest, the oldest cat I have worked with in a Boarding Cattery situation was 28 year old Petra Sheen – she was a very determined, feisty tortoiseshell!

Tiddles - 21 years old.

So far at Gyrn Cottage Cattery the oldest resident has been Tiddles, a very sweet 21 year old. She was with me for 2 weeks in June and as it was a bit chilly she had her heater on all day and night during her stay and she devoured 2 whole chickens among other delicacies! Tiddles loved her Reiki treatments.

Phoebe

Phoebe came in with a broken leg. She was in a pen with removable shelving. She was incredibly funny and used to sit in front of the wire door and repeatedly bang the wire with her plastered leg.

Mootie

Mootie had an accident a few years ago and dragged his back leg behind him. I covered the run floor with large vinyl squares so he wouldn’t scrape this foot on the tiles. He is such an adorable and very playful cat.

Lewis

Lewis had 3 legs. He was provided with a low stool and a chair. (read his story here!)
