Can anyone give me any recent recommendations for a local cattery please?

[Growlybear]

I need to find a cattery for two week-long breaks in the next couple of months. Does anyone have any recommendations for catteries they have used recently please?

Not a cattery, but we recently needed to find a new cat sitter and were very happy with Trudi M from Cat in a Flat (the website). She's in Forest Hill but covers SE22.

We have used Farm Cottage cattery in Croydon for many many years never having found anywhere good in the Dulwich area. We originally got the recommendation from a local vet.

The vets on Lordship Lane is great and very reasonably priced, I used them in February and it was ?8 per night on weekdays and ?11 on weekends, food included. I can't see the info on their web site but if you call them, they can confirm the pricing: https://www.lordshiplanevets.co.uk

Thank you for all the replies. I have used Lordship Lane vets in the past, but one of my cats has been banned from just about every cattery she has ever been to, including Lordship Lane. There is only one cattery that will take her again, which is quite a long drive. Neither of my cats travel well, and both poop the second I start the car; they then find hidden reserves and poop every few minutes throughout the journey, which makes me reluctant to consider catteries which are any distance away! I had been hoping that I might find a nearby cattery that I haven't used before where she may be a little calmer.

I've also always been reluctant to use a catsitter but may have to consider this now. I don't have a cat door, and because of our alarm, I would have to leave the cats shut in the conservatory whilst we are away and am not sure if this would be unkind. I'm sure that if anyone else let them out into the garden, then they just wouldn't come back in again. It's a bit of a dilemma!
