"I think Dolly has been asking me to hand feed her caviar!  I was so concerned that she would

expect higher standards at home or pack her bag and return to you!"

"We would just like to say thank you so much for looking after Suki when she needed to got to the vets. 

It's great to know that she is in such good hands and we know that she enjoys being you"

"I cannot speak too highly of this cattery and its owners.  We live only four doors away.  Our cat loves it so much that the visits every day, and is often to be seen trying to get in!"

"In all our years of putting our cats in catteries, we have never come across such a genuine cat lover  who loves what she does and yet whilst a business, this is clearly a vocation for her"

"Fabulous cattery, always welcoming and accommodating. A real home away from home."

"Was of great assistance with my cat's dietry problem.  Able to suggest the right food which my cat liked and stopped her sickness problem."

             "I doubt very much if you could find a cleaner, well planned and more considerately owned cattery anywhere. The animals have a lovely outlook also."
