This is, quite simply, a fantastic cattery. I've boarded my cat here on several occasions and am always struck by how much the owners (Lesley and Ray) just seem to really love the cats there. It's a reasonably large cattery (space for 20+ kitty enclosures and each one can be shared by 2-3 cats if you have cats which don't mind sharing). The spaces for the cats are larger than at a few other catteries I've seen. It's always clean and the cats are obviously well-cared for; walking up the main aisle with Lesley and Ray, they will talk to you about their latest arrivals whilst also pausing to talk to the cats as well. They offer a range of foods (different kinds of wet, dry and occasionally even real chicken!) and there are toys in most of the enclosures already in case you forget to bring your own. The enclosures are divided into a private and public area for each cat, where your cat can either sneak away and be unseen, or look at the goings-on in the cattery. There are heated pads for your cat in winter, so they won't get cold. The owners are responsive over email and the phone, and as it's their full time job, the opening hours are long, which is great. The last time I boarded our cat there, if you pick your cat up between 9 and 10am in the morning, you don't have to pay for another full day, which is often a blessing if you come home late one night from a holiday. Although catcare is generally quite pricey, their rates are good. There is also a collection service, which I think is within a 3-mile radius. I've never used it, so there may be a charge, but it's nice to know that if your car breaks down, or your cat has just got too fat to be carried, you can still get it there. Above all, it's a really superb cattery from the second you walk in, you feel like your cat will be in really safe, good hands. Could not ask for better. read more
