A good site should have a good air flow (an exhaust fan installed in a window will do the job), a good source of natural sunlight - windows, glass doors, and area for the cat to wonder around, exercise and scratch at least once a day.

  The cattery facility and storage spaces shall be cleaned with appropriate detergents and disinfectants as often as is necessary to keep them free of dirt, debris and harmful contamination. In humid climates, dehumidifiers keep the moisture content of the air at acceptable levels. This discourages fungus and upper respiratory disease and keeps the cats' coats in prime condition.

  Cats shall be observed daily and diseased cats shall promptly be provided with medical care. A vaccination program, under advice of a veterinarian, is recommended. Cats shall be kept clean, free of severe coat mats and generally groomed sufficiently to maintain a healthy condition. An effective program for the control of insects, ectoparasites and mammalian pests, if present, shall be established and maintained using animal safe products.


Litter training

  When your cat gets into the routine of going to a certain location, you'll need to prevent the behavior from recurring. Since the smell of declining urine is a signal for the cat to "reapply," clean the accident site with a pet odor remover - perhaps multiple times to get past the cat's sensitive nose. While you are preventing bad habits, make good habits more appealing. The litter box should be clean, have privacy, and non-perfumed. If your cat is not used to litter box, or has never regularly used the litter box, you may want to retrain the cat by himself. Once the cat is used to it, then he will try to come back if nature calls.

  Litter boxes should be completely changed and scrubbed at least once a week. Not only is this a good sanitary practice, but it also breaks up the reproductive cycle of roundworms. The walls of the cattery need to be washed down periodically.


Feeding and Water

  Cats shall be fed at least once each day except as otherwise required by a veterinarian. A good rule of thumb will be to serve up meals twice a day. The foods shall be free from contamination and shall be wholesome, palatable and of sufficient quantity and nutritive value to meet the normal daily requirements for the condition and size of the cat. Food shall be provided in sufficient amounts to ensure normal growth in kittens and maintenance of normal body weight in adults.

  Food receptacles shall be accessible to all cats and shall be located to prevent contamination by excreta. Feeding dishes shall be kept clean. Self-feeders may be used for the feeding of dry food and shall be sanitized regularly to prevent molding, deterioration or caking of food.
