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?

    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses? 
    • confused by the question?
    • My point was in response to this:  "The idea that serving as a local councillor (including dealing with the public, internal party politics - which is always the most vicious where the stakes are lowest, and plenty of unpaid prep work) is a great pathway for careerists and moneygrabbers is utter shite. On a per hour basis you'd be far better off working at Sainsbos."   You could give up your job at sainsbury's and do a councillor's work and be very much better off. Most of these councillors earn this sort of money and still have full time jobs on the side.
