Dates booked are charged for even if you collect your cat(s) early. If you cannot collect your cat(s) on the intended departure day, please let us know as soon as possible. We may have another cat booked into the chalet for later in the day, and we will need to make specific plans to care that little bit longer for your cat(s).

For us to take care of your cat(s), we require your cat(s) to be vaccinated against the following:
• Feline Panleukopenia

• Feline Calicivirus
We need to see the vaccination certificates before we can secure your booking. When booking, please upload a picture of your cat’s vaccination certificate to the appropriate area in your Revelation Pets account. Alternatively, please email us a picture of the vaccination certificate upon making a booking request, and we will get back to you.
Cats must also be up to date with flea and worming treatments; before check-in, please provide us with the following:
• Type of flea treatment and date of administering
• Type of worming treatments and date of administering
All kittens must have received both primary vaccinations, and we require one whole month to have passed after the second vaccination before we can provide boarding.

We stock a wide range of proprietary wet and dry cat food brands and will feed what you request. If your cat requires food that we do not stock, we ask that you provide this and please bring enough food for the duration of your cat’s stay. We do not accept cats on raw food diets - if you wish to discuss this, please call us.
