Looking for a cattery while you’re on holiday, relocating or away on business?

Leaving your cat with someone else can be tough. Worrying about your feline friend isn’t going to make your trip any easier, so you need to find a good place for your cat to stay, and that cattery has to be affordable.

Our cattery is semi-communal. It is a large airy space where cats feel safe and comfortable: lots of climbing space, baskets and sheepskins. We have a covered outdoor conservatory, which provides a great place for your cat to relax and soak up the sun, and a warm internal room. 

All our cats have their own “split-level suite”, with their bed on one level and litter tray and food on the other. If you have any special requirements for your feline friend, please feel free to contact us so that we can accommodate their individual needs.
