Reviews
Our fur babies stayed for just over 3 weeks. Our cats thought they were in heaven! Alvin took over and made himself super at home. Thank you for the love, care and attention.
A great cattery with fantastic staff who actually care for your cats. It also has very good facilities which allows your cats to roam around during the day rather than being stuck in a cage.
The staff are lovely and the place is spacious and tidy. My cat Oscar REALLY enjoyed his stay here and took full advantage of the free feeding biscuits.
They took our fur ball in at short notice and stayed open when we were late the first day. It smelt nice and clean and the cats had lots to do and places to explore.
