Looking for a good cattery?

Recommended Posts

Hi! Sorry if this is already on the forum somewhere, but I am looking for a cattery for my old lady, Elsie. Our usual spot "The Cattery" in Croydon is full and we need to find something asap.


If anyone has some good suggestions I would love to hear them. Looking for a 10-day getaway in the summer, which is obviously peak time.


FYI - I've already looked at Brockwell Vets service and don't like the setup (too dark, indoor etc).


Thanks in advance!

Have you considered Trusted Housesitters? Have a look at their website: https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/


I came across them from an article in a Cats Protection magazine (November?) at the Neighbourhood Vet (ED branch) and I think EasyJet have recently teamed up with them. I am due to have my first housesitter in the summer.


It works on a membership fee basis for both pet owner & housesitter with no further charges. There are housesitters both based in London/UK as well as looking to visit from abroad, so it is possible to meet someone before you confirm a booking.


Might be worth having a look.

We have 2 friends who we have used to pop into our cats on a daily basis. They have a cat flap and are not wanderers.

One of the friends charges for her time, but the other will not take any money. Both of them are given keys to the house.


What about a trusted neighbour who wishes to earn a few pounds?

    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
