Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Newsletter 17 December 2015

It has been a fun three months for us settling into our new home and personalizing the Deloraine Cattery in terms of system upgrades, aesthetic changes and producing our own marketing material. Vanessa also visited the local vets, pet stores and other catteries introducing herself and building a support network. We've learnt a lot in the last 3 months and met some wonderful cat owners and kitty cats. 

This is our first newsletter so it is jam packed full of information, including a chance to win you and your cat a weekend away, the date for the next Cause for Paws Pet Expo 2015 and information about my other two businesses I run from here at the Deloraine Cattery. Princess and the Pirate offering children's stylish party supplies; and unique, fun, yet practical superCUTE baby gifts. Next time you're here have a browse in shop or look online.

We'd like to thank you all for the lovely welcome and your continued support. Have a wonderful Christmas and we'll see you all in the New Year!

Paul and Vanessa Wilson
Owners of the Deloraine Cattery

Welcome Pack!


We think the best form of advertising is you through "word of mouth". That's why we think it makes sense to enhance your experience with Deloraine Cattery.

You can read more about what the pack contains on our website.

Privare and Family Rooms

Our private rooms are the perfect choice for one to three cats (sharing from the same family) who like to be on their own and enjoy having the freedom to access the secure outdoor verandah 24 hours a day. There are climbing frames, grass mats, cat tunnel and a chair outside for cats to find their own spot to sunbath or bird watch.

Win your kitty a weekend away!
We are unable to allow access to settle or collect your cats during the Christmas and New Year period

We're completely booked out for Christmas, so it is going to be a very busy time of year for us. During this time we will not be able to grant access to settle or collect your cat(s). This is for the safety of all cat(s) in our care. As you may know cat's do not like change and can be susceptible to stress. Therefore, it's important we reduce added stress such as lots of noise and people coming and going. Stress in cats can cause cystitis (which can be deadly) and can bring out latent viruses (similar to a cold-sore in humans) even if they've been vaccinated. Some of these viruses, such as Cat Flu are transmitted through the air. So, as you can imagine it can sweep through our entire cattery in a short amount of time. Our aim is to settle cat(s) immediately and those that that need extra attention will also be given a homeopathic remedy called Pet Calm and may also require Feliway (a cat hormone spray). Visible signs of a settled cat is they are responsive, eating, drinking and eliminating. For any cats that may be displaying symptoms such as Cat Flu they will be transferred to isolation away from the cattery.
