Reviews
Hillcrest are the best. They have looked after Lily since she was 4 months. Lily is fed well, hugged and brushed and is contented there. They send me videos. They are an AAAAA+++++ safe place to leave your precious cat.
We were nervous about putting our boy in a cattery for three weeks for the first time ever, but he loved it! They were so kind and sent us photos and videos of him. Spent time with him, played and cuddled.
We have just been away and our cherished cat has been so well looked after at Hillcrest. She is almost 16 and has daily medication which was administered daily. We also loved getting updates while we were away.
I had 4 of my cats stay at Hillcrest for 18 days. They loved it, when they came back you could tell they had been well looked after and brushed.
