Dorwell is a purpose built, family run cattery. Situated on the edge of Dartmoor National Park we are easily accessible, being only 200 yards from the main A38 at Wrangaton.
Licenced, insured and vet recommended, we offer a wide choice of accommodation and a high level of care. We can facilitate special diets and medication when provided.
All cats will automatically be covered by pet insurance upon their arrival and for the duration of their stay. However, this will not cover any existing medical conditions your cat may have on arrival.
All cats must have an up to date vaccination certificate (flu and enteritis) and this must be shown on or prior to arrival. We reserve the right to call your veterinary surgeon on your behalf should we feel it necessary for the welfare of your cat.
Unfortunately male cats over age of 8 months that have not been neutered cannot be boarded.
Minimum charge of £30 in the form of a non-refundable booking fee,
