In September 2008 Cambridge Style Magazine will be featuring our boarding cattery.

Cambridge Style is a glossy lifestyle magazine, bursting with the latest fashion and beauty advice. Its attractive, glamorous looks and aspirational content make it a magazine all young women want to read. It also features elegant homes and interiors, music and events, food, beautiful travel destinations and interviews with local personalities based on the city.

Exclusive celebrity interviews are common and each month they have special features which may include families, weddings, outdoor living, days out and food and drink. In March 2007, Style celebrated its 5th birthday as the leading lifestyle magazine in the Cambridge area.

In September 2008 Cambridge Style Magazine will be featuring our luxury boarding cattery.

In June 2008 we were delighted to launch our brand new boarding cattery and cat hotel website www.westlodgecattery.co.uk ~ and it's absolutely packed with photos of our cattery and guests!

Our website was designed by Kay Key who not only is creating and owns BoardingCatteries.org, but also publishes the 'bibles' on kennel and cattery design to improve animal welfare (see below).

Having worked with Kay & David (expert in cattery and kennel design) for over 2 years on our vision for the future of our boarding kennels ~ Kay was "thrilled to be able to show Westlodge Cattery's full potential to caring cat owners seeking the very best in catteries."

Kay also advised that our new cat hotel will be immediately awarded their prestigious Crown Award from BoardingCatteries.org when it goes live later in 2008!

In August 2008 we launched our new boarding cattery website.

In June 2008 we were featured in the book Kennel Design which is the 'bible' for inspiration for those thinking of starting a kennels or cattery, and is available from every Amazon and online bookstore and bookshop anywhere in the world.

This book is sponsored by Dogs Trust, and is written to help future kennel and cattery owners build the best standard of accommodation, and learn about animal welfare. The author's books are used in animal welfare and kennel and cattery management courses in colleges and universities around the world.

We were chosen for the book because of our deep commitment to improving our kennels and cattery standards, our stunning location including our beautiful mature landscaped gardens, and to be an inspiration to other existing kennels and cattery operations who are looking to reach higher standards of accommodation and care.

We encourage everyone thinking about starting up, or improving their kennels or cattery to visit Cattery Design~ or ~ Kennel Design.

In June 2008 we were delighted to open our new luxury cat hotel/cattery and launched our new website.

We wanted to provide the most comfortable, deeply padded and luxurious bedding for our Cat Guests ~ and so we commissioned special cat themed beds from Tinkerbellspaws, who told us:

"Your cattery looks absolutely great and I would imagine as a result you have been very busy! Congratulations on the Cattery, or more appropriately Luxury Feline Hotel!!! - and also the website - it's fantastic!!"

Best Regards to one and all

In June 2008 we were thrilled to announce the opening of our brand new cat hotel and boarding cattery in Cambridge.

To ensure we had the highest of standards, our new cattery building was manufactured and built by highly respected Pedigree Pens
who have been accredited with the British Standards Certification ISO:

We are thrilled with the new cattery, which incorporates 2 large, light and bright V.I.C Cat Suites which directly overlook our beautiful gardens, including the Koi Carp pond and our Aviary (seen in the background, as is Marc!).

Our new Cat Hotelis filled with natural daylight, panoramic views, and enough deeply padded and comfy cat bedding to appease even the most demanding of clients ~ Cat-napping in style is beautifully demonstrated by our regular guest, the scrumptious birman cat Jeremy (shown right!)

In August 2008 we opened our brand new, high standard cat hotel and boarding cattery in Cambridge.

In 2006, when we became the proud new owners of Westlodge Kennels and Cattery in Cambridge, we inherited a paper-based system of cards.

We wanted to ensure we provided a special service where every cat's needs were known, and catered for. So we introduced our bookings software system made by PetAdmin to be able to note every pet's details in full ~ detailing everything we would need to know to care for them during their stay with us.

We are delighted with our bookings software, and it has enabled us to provide a much more personal service, and one that is much more efficient. We can track everything, we can hold a waiting list, so that those customers who would like to book in a year in advance, or a few days in advance can do so easily.

Our deepest thanks to PetAdminfor providing a bookings system that allows us to take extra-special care of our Clients.

In 2006 we introduced our new PetAdmin Booking System for Clients
