HEMJOY CAT HOTEL – CATTERY IN BERKSHIRE

ON ARRIVAL

• We will need to see a current vaccination certificate with up-to-date vaccinations against Cat Flu and Feline Enteritis. Your veterinary surgeon can advise you on this.

ABOUT OUR CAT & DOG HOTEL

Hemjoy Cat and Dog Hotel is long established and was taken over in the summer of 1979 by June and Dudley Barnes.

“As lifelong animal lovers, it was a natural progression for us to move our family and our ever increasing menagerie into Hemjoy. We set about improvements straight away, and are proud of the reputation we have built up over the years with like-minded owners, who entrust the care of their much loved pets to the Hemjoy staff.”

Regular visitors will already be familiar with our staff. They are a team of animal lovers whose priority is to ensure that their guests have a very happy, comfortable and contented stay at Hemjoy.

A warm welcome to you!
