Cattery Website Example: Whisker Lodge Cattery

Cats dislike change more than most pets, so owners choosing a cattery look first for signs of calm, warmth and quiet. The sample opens with a sleeping cat in a round frame that slowly breathes, a promise of cats only and the afternoon quiet hours. Three chalet types follow with nightly rates, sizes and what each one includes, from a single chalet to a senior chalet with low shelves and a ramp. A section on the inside of a chalet explains the heated sleeping box, the shelves and the solid screens that stop cats from different homes sharing a sneeze. That opening sequence answers the two big questions, comfort and cost, well before anyone scrolls halfway.

The rest of the sample handles the practical worries that keep owners from booking. A packing table sets what to bring from home beside what is already waiting in the chalet, which stops anyone arriving with a car full of litter. Health rules ask for a vaccination record and flea treatment, and they point owners to their own vet because requirements vary from country to country. A clear statement that carers are not vets, and that an unwell cat is taken to one, sets honest limits on what a cattery does. The request form then gathers the chalet, the dates and each cat's habits, so the lodge can confirm a stay in a single reply.

Sneeze screens, warm boxes and a vaccination card: what owners look for before leaving a cat

Chalets described down to the shelf

Owners want to picture the exact space their cat will live in, so each chalet type needs its size, its bed, its shelves and its nightly rate. Details such as a heated sleeping box and a window ledge matter more to a cat owner than any adjective. A family chalet for siblings and a senior chalet for older cats show that the cattery has thought about different needs. Deposit and holiday rules belong under the rates in a sentence or two, stated plainly. When the chalets are described this carefully, owners feel they have already visited.

Proof that households never mix

The fear behind most cattery questions is infection or a fight with a strange cat. Solid screens between chalets, one household per chalet and cleaning between every guest answer that fear directly. Saying so in the strip near the top, and again inside the chalet section, keeps the message in view. Photos of single cats and sibling pairs, rather than groups, reinforce the point without a word. This one reassurance often decides whether an owner books or keeps searching.

Health rules that respect the vet

Vaccinations and flea treatment protect every cat in the building, yet the details depend on the country and on each cat. A good page asks for a current record and treatment before arrival, then sends owners to their own vet to decide what their cat needs. It also explains, without drama, what happens if a cat stops eating or seems unwell: the owner is told and a vet sees the cat. Carers give medicines and prescription diets only as labelled, and never offer advice of their own. Clear limits like these make a cattery look more professional, not less.

A request that introduces every cat

A cattery cannot confirm a stay from dates alone, because the chalet, the number of cats and any medicines all shape the booking. The sample form asks for each cat's name, age and breed, the vaccination status and a box for diet and quirks. Those answers let the lodge spot a senior cat or a twice daily tablet before the reply goes out. With AI Web Maker the owner sends the request, the cattery confirms, suggests other dates or declines, and the deposit is paid to the cattery directly. Good cattery website design keeps this form short enough to finish on a phone in a few minutes.

Search checks run along the Whisker Lodge chalet row

Owners search for a cattery, cat boarding or cat hotel near their town, sometimes adding words such as heated or cats only. Using those everyday terms in headings and naming the area served helps a website for a cattery turn up in local results.
