RSPCA West Hatch Animal - Animal Advise

As well as the main cattery, we have a separate block of four cat pens which are used to isolate any cat that may be infectious. This block is cleaned out by the kennel staff, so that infection is not passed to the main cattery. The most common reason that cats are placed in isolation is when they are suffering form cat flu, as this is an air born virus and is easily spread. Sometimes cats may be placed here if they have a skin condition such as ringworm.

Once the cats are signed off as healthy by the vet they are moved to the main cattery for re-homing.
