Cattery website design with suites, nightly prices and your licence in view

Your pages, the features on them, the final price and the timescale, in writing before you pay a deposit. Hosting, care and any ongoing SEO are listed separately, so you can see what is one-off and what is monthly. On the Business package the first year of hosting and care is included.

In England, yes. The licensing regulations say the licence holder's name, followed by the licence number, must be clearly and prominently displayed on any website used for the business, and a copy of the licence must be on display at the cattery. Defra's own page also tells boarding businesses to display the licence number in any advertising; that line is Defra's guidance rather than the regulation. We put the name and number on every page, exactly as your current licence shows them.

In England, Defra's guidance says councils should keep a list of licensed businesses and their star ratings on their websites, and some publish one: one council's register shows the licence number, expiry date, activity, business name, postcode and rating. With your licence number on the site, an owner can match it against the council's list. Elsewhere in the UK the owner can ask the council, or DAERA in Northern Ireland.

In England the council gives every licensed cattery 1 to 5 stars, based on its inspection and its compliance record, and adds the rating to the licence. The rating also sets how long the licence lasts, from one year at 1 or 2 stars to three years at 5, and it can change after an unannounced visit. Show the rating your current licence carries and nothing higher: false or misleading information about a business can be a misleading action under consumer law. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have no star ratings.

In England, Defra's guidance says the business owner must see an up-to-date vaccination record from a vet for every cat, with current vaccinations against feline panleukopenia, feline infectious enteritis and the respiratory viruses feline herpesvirus and feline calicivirus. Whether to accept a vet's certificate of a recent titre test instead of a booster is your decision, and homeopathic vaccination is not acceptable. Put your rule on the booking page and in the arrival steps, as the demo names the vaccination record in its FAQ, so owners can see the vet before the trip.

Not in England. A cat unit may only be shared by cats from the same household, and Defra's guidance adds that the owner must give written consent to the sharing, including your authority to separate the cats if there is a problem. Communal exercise areas are not allowed either. A family suite on your website can say this plainly, as the demo's says it is for cats who already live together.

No. The rules above are England's. In Wales and in Scotland a cattery is licensed by the council under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963, renewed every year, with the conditions the council writes into the licence; Scotland's newer animal licensing regulations do not cover boarding. In Northern Ireland the licence comes from DAERA under the Welfare of Animals Act (Northern Ireland) 1972, again for a year. None of the three has star ratings or a set wording for websites, but across the UK the Provision of Services Regulations 2009 require you to make the licensing authority's details available to customers, and your website is one way to do it.
