Cattery?

[miss_mystra]

Can anyone recommend a local cattery? I phone my vet and they didn't really seem to know any, but knew there was one in Dulwich, possibly Dulwich Cattery but no reviews anywhere or a website etc

I normally get Lisa from Bow Wow Miaow (she's wonderful and i recommend her 10000%!) to come round but I am now living in a houseshare, with other people who aren't too vigilant at keeping doors closed when I'm not around (they are indoor cats, one has a brain problem so would not last long outdoors) so I'd just be too stressed out worrying if they had escaped, I hate the thought of sending them away but it seems to be the safest/most worry free option.

The Dulwich Cattery has now closed. Try Gloria on 020 8693 1533 - she is based in East Dulwich Grove. My son boards his cat there and has always been very pleased. Gloria is really nice and a real cat lover.

thanks, will get in touch with her

Any other places people can recommend so i have options would be fab!

Another huge thumbs up for Gloria! My cat is an indoor cat, he's not really the most confident, and he stayed with Gloria for 2 weeks when I went on holiday. He came back very happy and settled. Gloria is a lovely lady and responds to texts and calls quickly when you want a bit of reassurance that your puss is ok.

Her cattery pens are inside her house too so no sheds at the bottom of the garden which is nice...especially for indoor cats.

oooh that is good! Pickle gets cold at night (she's sleeping on my head at night, and she did the same last winter haha) so i was a bit worried about some of the catteries coming up on google where they are pens in the garden!

We have also used Gloria in the past - our cat stayed with her for about 5 weeks while we had building work done. He went to her as a nervous cat, and not particularly friendly. When he finally came home he had changed completely, very settled and friendly (and with a newfound love of prawns and roast chicken!). She is brilliant.

Gloria is amazing. Also boarded our cat for 5 weeks for building work and then subsequent holidays. It's more like a cat hotel she treats them so well xx

Hi,

I can recommend 'The Cattery' although they are a bit further out but they look after them well, and they have heated pads for sleeping too. The E.D catteries tend to get quite full quite quickly.

Bumping this thread back up as I'm looking for a cattery over the Christmas period. Normally use Gloria but disorganisation has resulted in not getting in soon enough and she's already full booked. Thanks.

Huge thumbs up for The Cattery in SE20 - Margaret is wonderful and we took our boy there year after year until he died in the Spring ... highly recommend x

[LadyNorwood]

I used to use The Cattery in SE20 until we had to leave our cat there for three months - when we collected her, we were told "she's off her food, only drinks water"; turned out our poor cat had suffered kidney failure but they hadn't thought to take her to the vet (our cat was then on daily medication, had to boarded at the vet as she had gone blind and was shortly afterwards PTS); now we go to Cozy Catz Cattery in South Norwood, our new cat loves it and they are wonderful there....

We have just picked up our beautiful kitten from Gloria, and she is delighted with herself with a lovely healthy looking coat to boot. Gloria is just such a lovely lady and I felt like she fully understood our kitten is like our baby!We will use Gloria again witout hesitation. Highly reccommend her.

Hi there, do you know if Gloria is still running her cattery in Dulwich I've been trying the number above with no luck. Do you have another contact number for her? Thanks

[miss_mystra]

Used her over Christmas, don't know another number for her sorry! Keep trying :)

[raerae]

She's still definitely in business, I used her at the end of Feb. I text her if I can't get through and she always gets back to me. Same number as always (but she has a new phone which I think she's slightly confused by as she had me down as someone else in her phone and left that person a message about my cat!)

[Carrie]

Gloria is definitely still in business as she looked after my 2 last weekend. I also text rather than phoning and she always gets back to me straight away - 07758 690767

We were not impressed by Gloria - long story, but loved Margaret at the Cattery. Definitely got to visit before to check its the right place for your cat, but I'd recommend it 100%
