When going on vacation, it can be an anxiety inducing worry about where to leave your fuzzy feline…read morefriends. After much research and a recommendation from our vet's website, we decided to go with Sophisticat. We called them to arrange an inspection and they were happy to show us around their clean, large and well cared for facilities. This really put us at ease as we were going overseas for the holidays. We've since gone back to them one other time and have never had a complaint. They require your feline to be up to date on vaccinations and have a go-to vet should anything happen. They have most foods on offer, but if yours require something exotically special, they do ask to bring a supply in which is fair enough. We even called once to make sure Bella was settled in ok and they were happy to give us a progress report (sad, I know) and she didn't show any signs of stress when we retrieved her. I would go back to them without any hesitation and recommend them to anyone needing a cattery.

When we decided it was time to get a faithful hound, my little lady and I headed out to Coldstream…read moreand checked out Animal Aid. After looking at the website, in which they have set up 'facebook like' pages for each of the dogs up for adoption, we had decided on a dog to save, and went to meet it in person. They have lovely staff here, and its clear they love all the animals that come through. We met a heap of dogs, and as hard as it is to decide, we chose a dog that we thought we'd like to have some 'one on one" time with. Here the staff let you take the dog for a short walk around and you get to say hello without the fence in the way. It was then that we found out how things work. We weren't allowed to meet the dog, as it had 3 people who had put it "on hold" over the Internet. It seems people shop for animals online now, and you can 'hold' a dog until you get the time to come and meet it, rendering anyone else who is keen out of the running to adopt it. Although I definitely recommend adopting over buying a dog from a store, I suggest you get online and 'hold' any dog you like the look of before heading to the Animal Aid and avoid disappointment.
