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!

lovely place for a cat to stay, my cat is elderly, unfriendly and neurotic, and I have no hesitation leaving her with Kelly as I know she'll be kept an eye on and her health and diet will be monitored with kindness and sympathy
