When going away on holidays, considering what to do with your feline companion can be a dilemma. Most cats do not appreciate long car journeys. Acclimatising your feline companion to your holiday destination can be tricky and may dampen your holiday experience.
Boarding your feline companion in a safe and secure environment with trained personnel looking after them is a good option. This will allow you to enjoy your holiday, without any worries.

We do not charge extra for public holidays, school holidays, Easter or Christmas.
For an affordable Glen Eira cattery, Carnegie Cat Cottage will be the perfect choice for your precious pets.
(The Raintree™ Cat Condo is designed for one feline companion at a time. We do not recommend feline companions from the same household share the Raintree™ Cat Condo. However, feline companions from the same household can be placed side by side, which provides for close proximity but with enough space for each companion.
This is important as one companion per Condo allows for strict adherence to cleanliness and hygiene and hence happier feline boarders.)
The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable if bookings are cancelled. This is important so as not to disadvantage other feline companions from gaining a place at Carnegie Cat Cottage as a result of cancellations. The deposit is deducted from your total boarding fee at the time of settlement.

At least 90% of cases of feline upper respiratory tract disease are caused by one of two viruses:
Chlamydophila psittaci is the third most important cause of upper respiratory tract disease in cats. However it is the primary agent in less than 5% of clinical respiratory infections seen in general veterinary practice. Chlamydial infections are clinically restricted to the conjunctiva and oronasal mucosa.
Clinical diagnosis of feline upper respiratory tract disease is based on history and physical examination findings. This is sufficient information to pursue treatment and follow-up care. As treatment options for the various causative agents are nearly identical, there is little advantage in precise identification of the causative agent.
Our cattery in Carnegie is dedicated to preventing the spread of feline herpes virus.
Transmission of herpes virus requires intimate contact between shedding and susceptible hosts. The normal breathing movements of an acutely infected cat does not produce infective aerosols, but sneezing which produces macro-droplets might spread virus particles. Herpes virus can survive for less than 24 hours in the environment, making long term contamination of inanimate objects (such as bedding) unlikely.
Carrier cats can either be latently or actively infected. Latent or subclinical carriers maintain the viral genome in the tissues of the nasal passages. Under situations of stress i.e. transportation, rehousing, cat shows, lactation, hospitalisation, concurrent disease (e.g. FIV or FeLV) the viral genetic material is activated and the virus is shed intermittently. This process can be associated with mild clinical signs. Cats with a known history of severe upper respiratory tract disease or recurrent mild disease are potential carriers even if vaccinated.
This virus is transmitted readily between cats by direct, close contact and is found in large quantities in oculonasal secretions and saliva of acutely infected cats. Small amounts are found in the urine and faeces. Calicivirus can survive and remain infective on inanimate objects for up to 10 days, hence environmental contamination is important.
Carriers of feline calicivirus shed a constant amount of virus for weeks to years after primary infection, irrespective of stressful stimuli. Virus shedding can end abruptly. Some feline calicivirus carriers can have persistent mild conjunctivitis, gingivitis or periodontal disease.

Routine annual vaccination is h3ly recommended. Vaccinated cats do not enjoy complete protection; such is the nature of the viruses concerned. With respect to ‘cat flu’ the purpose of vaccination is not to afford complete protection – this would be nice – but impossible, rather to afford partial immunity to the recipient, so that only mild symptoms may arise in the event of an infection.
In summary, ‘cat flu’ cannot be completely prevented. This is impractical and nonsensical given the nature of the viruses concerned. In fact, many cats are subclinical carriers of ‘cat flu’, and future infections in these cats may arise from their own viral loads rather than contracting a new infection.
Here at Carnegie Cat Cottage we certainly go the extra mile to minimise the risk of ‘cat flu’.
