Reviews
The Purr-fect Cattery did an amazing job of looking after my 14 year old cat. Scott is a bit of a cat whisperer - my cat who usually fights with other cats was so chilled and relaxed. Daily pictures put your mind at ease.
We've taken our wee Albert there twice now. The cats all seem well cared for and we love that they share photos everyday so we can see how he's doing!
Very happy with the cattery. I feel that my cat was well looked after and I particularly liked the online photos posted each day. Would certainly use again.
Gilbert has stayed twice now and he's always so happy. Scott adores the cats so you know they are well cared for and get lots of attention.
