We started Loose Farm Cattery, just South of Battle, about 18 years ago. The prime idea was to provide a small friendly cattery with the personal touch.
We can take 11 to 22 cats at any one time catering for particular diets and taking care of any prescribed medications.
We are recommended and used by Senlac and Chase Veterinary Practices.
The Cattery itself is of rendered concrete block construction with individual secure units within. Each unit has an individual heated house, some units having secure outside runs over looking the East Sussex countryside.
I, Jeannie, am always available to discuss any particular requirements, diets, concerns or worries
OPENING TIMES:-
09.00 to 11.00 am and 04.30 to 06.30 pm Monday to Saturday
09.00 to 11.00 am Sundays
01424 774238
Bookings can also be made through our e-mail address which is anthony_godfrey@sky.com

Down on the farm in Sussex one of the most exciting times is upon us – Lambing Time!
The ewes were covered amid the fireworks around bonfire night so should be due to drop in early March.
Lambing time is an exciting time but it is always a little worrying as although sheep are generally very self sufficient when it comes to giving birth occasionally complications do happen and they sometimes need help.
This year has been no exception, the first of the ewes had a prolapse and the vet was needed, although he thought the lambs were still alive inside a few days passed and she finally went in to labour, sadly neither of the twins she was carrying survived and it was a very sad start to usually such a joyful time.
I am pleased to say since that terrible start things could not have gone better! With no help at all and within just a few hours of each other the next two ewes gave birth to two sets of twin lambs; the third was just twenty our hours behind them.
The three mums are doing very well and the six spring lambs are bouncing around the field and getting stronger by the day! We have just one more ewe to lamb and fingers crossed she does as well as the last three and despite a traumatic start it may yet finish up as a great lambing spring!
