Cat Boarding Information:
Highbridge provide luxury accommodation in a purpose built, licensed Kennels and Cattery, in a rural location just 8 miles from Fort William.
Inspection by Appointment Welcome:
The Cattery is situated in a beautiful garden and offers spacious, comfortable, heated accommodation with covered inside runs. The accommodation is equiped with fleece hammocks, cat aerobic scratching posts, shelves for the cats to climb onto and fleece rugs and bedding. The cats are provided with toys and hideaways for very shy cats. The cats will easily find a comfortable spot to snooze or find something to amuse themselves. Extra large family size accommodation is available for up to 4 cats from the same household. As this is a small establishment your pets are assured of caring, personal attention from the proprietors who are experienced in the care of animals. Your cat's well being and happiness when away from home is our priority. During holiday periods early booking is highly reccommended. Kittens can be boarded 2 weeks after completing a full course of vaccinations. We do not accept un-neutered cats over the age of 6 months.

Cats are fed top brands of food like Gourmet, Whiskas, Sheba, Felix and Go-Cat twice daily. Veterinary diets can also be catered for if supplied by the owner with specific feeding requirements. We are also happy to administer medication given a full list of instructions, if required.
