A lot of local catteries around Geelong, Melbourne and the Surfcoast have been extremely hit hard financially by the Covid 19 virus as customers cancel their travel plans due to restrictions and therefore cat boarding. Your local cattery whether it be in Geelong or Melbourne already adhere to very strict cleaning and sanitizing standards just as Veterinary Clinics.
People may not be aware, but there is a very high percentage of cleaning and sanitizing involved in running a cattery as it needs to be as sterile as possible to ensure that all guests leave healthy and happy.
Cattery staff are well trained and very conscious of contamination and are prepared for dealing with these situations. Catteries in general, have low foot traffic compared to other businesses such as retail stores as people do not necessarily just pop in for a look but rather by appointment.
Our cattery is cleaned on a daily basis using hospital grade products as well as all staff using hand sanitizers, wipes and sprays to minimise contamination. A lot safer than a supermarket!
