Reviews
I cannot rate Scratch Pad highly enough! Wonderful carers with wonderful facilities. Despite not settling in as comfortably as we had hoped, Scratch Pad staff made sure she was eating, toileting and healthy.
This was our cat's first stay and it was fabulous. Mono is only partially sighted and is normally very nervous. The staff were so calm and welcoming that Mono was instantly relaxed.
Our senior cat has stayed here several times. They treat Jayna (17) with so much love and care. Last time I took her in it was her birthday, and she got a spontaneous serenade!
This team is great, I've talked with them a lot and watched them work, they really personalise care for each cat. The facility is clean and has a terrific playroom.
