This sums up my devotion to all things feline &#8211; cats have always been in my life, so when I married into a family with a cattery business it felt like serendipity. My husband Simon and I took over the family business in 2015 and moved to live on site with our three children. Simon is busy working in rugby so I run the business supported by our two crazy, adorable Burmese cats, Biscuit and Beanie, as well as gentle rescue cat Spud. As a cat owner myself I understand that your cat is more than just a pet &#8211; it\u2019s a member of the family. My aim is to give you confidence that while you jet off to relax, have fun and be pampered, your cats are also having a wonderful time with us. I have over 10 years of hands on experience and I also have a certificate in Feline First Aid.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6176061\" data-id=\"6176061\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99b40ce elementor-position-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"99b40ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" src=\"http:\/\/claremontcattery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/original.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-335\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/claremontcattery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/original.jpg 960w, https:\/\/claremontcattery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/original-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/claremontcattery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/original-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">Katie Finlay<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Manager<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac6c200 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ac6c200\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I\u2019ve worked at Claremont Cattery for well over a decade so you can tell that I love my job.

And receiving plenty of cuddles. My Ofqual Regulated Level 3 Diploma in Feline Care, Welfare and Behaviour means I have a deep understanding of what cats need from the practical to the playful. Clare will tell you that I also have a \u00a0photographic memory for all things feline &#8211; she likes testing me on which cats we have in, what they eat, their medical history and idiosyncrasies. And just in case I need to underline my commitment further, I rescue and rehome kittens &#8211; except for my four foster fails!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About us Claremont Cattery is a family-run, fully-licensed business located in South-West London.
