Fabulous. My 14 year cat had never been in a cattery, he settled well after a few days, and was so relaxed and happy during his few week stay while renovating our house. It was the best decision to have the skills and care of Kelly looking after him. Highly recommend
First stay for our cat who usually gets very stressed in a cattery. All the cats there seem relaxed and well looked after. Our cat has come home after a week’s stay very relaxed and happy to be home again. We will be back again. Thanks Kelly and team!
Very well run Cattery by a friendly professional team. Would leave my pampered cat here again with total confidence.
