Does your cat take holidays?

 
Cats boarding at a cattery (or kept in a breeding cattery or rescue shelter) are at-risk from Bordetella bronchiseptica (Bb). Bb causes ‘cat flu’-like symptoms in cats and can be deadly, especially in young animals. Because catteries contain lots of cats, the stress level can be high, especially when compared to Snuffles’ favourite armchair at home!
 
 
Increased stress increases the risk of Bb infection. Leaving your cat in a cattery is hard enough without the added worry of your pet becoming ill. Ask your cattery staff what protection they offer from Bb. Above all talk to your vet.
