Our collection and delivery service runs from Monday to Saturday. Occasionally
the service is not available. Each collection and/or delivery needs individual consideration
by us beforehand, so that we know that we are able to commit to your dates/times. If
you live within a 2-mile radius of Cats Country Club boarding cattery, then we’ll collect
and deliver your cat(s) free, should you require this.
Collections and Deliveries for addresses up to 10 miles away are outlined below. The charges
are due not just to the length of time involved travelling both ways, (10 miles or even
less to pickup or deliver a cat, never takes less than an hour in total and very often takes
considerably more, especially if they are unwell en route) but also due to the significant
and ever increasing fuel costs. You are of course welcome to enquire via a taxi company to
get a quote for the carriage of your cat(s). We are totally happy to accept delivery of
your cat(s) by such method, so long as all the inoculation/paperwork is in order.
Base level charge, 2-10 miles radius from CCC
Collection or Delivery - £25
Collection & Delivery - £50
Charge/Rate, greater than 10 miles radius from CCC
Collections and Deliveries over 10 miles will be charged in addition to the base
level charge of £1/mile and rounded up to the nearest multiple of £5.
Delivery back to an unattended house surcharge
Cats being delivered back to houses where we are the key holder and the owner is
not present at the time of delivery will attract an additional tariff of £20, as typically it
takes 30 minutes to resolve parking, get into the house, find all the necessaries, read
instructions, put out food/water, settle the cats, secure doors, adjust heating and deal
with alarms before leaving.
Additional London surcharge
With more and more cats having a holiday with us from London, whilst their owners too
take a well-earned break, or are having building work done. Collections & Deliveries
from/to London will now carry a modest additional surcharge, as we have to spend a
disproportionate amount of time on these more congested London roads. N.B. These
prices do not include the congestion charge, if required by the journey, which is
currently £15 and the ULEZ charge, which is currently £12.50 and since August 29th 2023, now
further extends to the boundaries of the M25.
North London Collection or Delivery surcharge - £30
North London Collection & Delivery surcharge - £60
Central London Collection or Delivery surcharge - £45
Central London Collection & Delivery surcharge - £90
When we arrive, please have the following ready:
- Your cat(s) first and foremost - as they can and do show a remarkably canny
tendency to go AWOL at what can be the most inconvenient times! (In respect
of this, from the time of our arrival, we are happy to wait up to 15 minutes
for your cats' return, after which time, the collection fee for the booking becomes
payable and we will likely have to leave and if we are to pickup your cat, another
pickup charge will be incurred.)
- Your cat(s) up to date Inoculation Certificate(s).
- Any favourite blanket/bed they like to sleep in/on.
- We can take a moderately sized scratching post if they like to use one.
- Any favourite toys they have fun playing with.
- Any other items you feel will personalize their chalet for them whilst
boarding here - to make them feel as much at home as we can.
- For our position on your cat's vaccination requirements and other
important cattery boarding information, whilst they are boarded at Cats
Country Club boarding cattery, please click here.
All these items will obviously be returned back to you with delivery home of your cat(s).
