Emergency Plan

The cattery is fitted with a smoke alarm and a powder fire extinguisher. This is maintained and in good working order. 

In case of a fire 999 must be called immediately and the building evacuated, including all cats/owners/carers, to the evacuation point which is across the yard outside the garage.

In case of emergency all cats will be put into their carriers and evacuated to a building away from the cattery and out of the elements. For example: the garage, with a secure door, until the owners or emergency contacts can be contacted to come and collect the cats or alternative accommodation can be found in neighbouring catteries. 

CALL the nominated vet if necessary 01484 421512. This is the same number for Out of Hours.

A carbon monoxide detector is not necessary as there is no gas on the premises.

In the event of a sudden change in temperature the electric heater can be increased or heat pads added if the weather is extremely cold. 

When the weather is very hot then fans/air conditioning units can be placed in the cattery in a safe area away from the cats to improve ventilation. The external door can also be left open but the internal door must be secured at all times. 

There is a thermostat within the cattery to keep a constant check on the temperature.
