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?

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • 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?
