What's on the itinerary?

At Wolds Retreat, we keep a daily routine which allows our visitors to settle and adjust more quickly to their new surroundings. Known routines help to promote a feeling of safety and contentedness.

Our daily programme

Early morning:

Every day starts with a little chat and a good morning cuddle.

Then breakfast is served in the form of some tasty wet food (type and flavour may be specified by owner).

Fresh water and dry food is topped up.

Litter trays are cleaned out, and beds and the pen are inspected and cleaned as necessary.

More cuddles, maybe a massage or a brush-out, and then puzzles/activity centres are set up with kibble treats. 

Any guests due to leave in the morning are prepared, so that they are ready for collection.

Any new arrivals are settled in.

 

Mid-day:

Play time (or just more cuddles), and a few kibble treats. Litter trays are inspected and cleared as necessary. 

Time to relax and enjoy the views of the field and horses at the back , or the cattery garden at the front, whilst we are are around and working in the cattery.

​

Mid-afternoon:

Time for afternoon cuddles, fun and games, and a few kibble treats. Pens and litter trays are inspected and cleared as necessary. 

Any guests due to leave in the afternoon are prepared, so that they are ready for collection.

​

Please note: 

  • Unless owners specify otherwise, we like our guests to have access to dry food throughout the day and night.

  • We prefer that the wet food, served in the morning and late afternoon is a wholefood.

  • The evening snack and kibble treats are complementary foods.

  • At times, music and speech will be played from the radio. This is known to help cats feel at home.

  • The "cat music" is a variety of gentle instrumental songs and sounds, including of cat purring, specifically composed to have a calming and relaxing effect on cats. Depending on how busy we are, it may also be played at times other than late afternoon.

  • Any medication is administered according to the owner's instructions.

  • As a part of our daily observations focusing on each cat's health and welfare, we keep written records of behaviour, eating and toilet habits.

9.00 - 10.00 & 17.00 - 18.00
