Reviews
This is a great cattery, which we have used on several occasions. Our cat is nervous by nature and it is really important to us that, when we are away, she is in an environment where she feels safe. The team at Wandering Willows is committed to ensuring the animals have a happy and safe stay.
Candy and the team at Wandering Willows are just absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to accommodate our pets during a hospital emergency.
The staff are easily contactable and very flexible about fitting in with the cat and owners' needs. Thank you for my pet's safe 3-week stay as a first-time boarder.
