Title: Cattery in Essex
Post by: Leanne on January 23, 2007, 16:52:22 PM: We aren't going on holiday till November but I want to research a cattery now for our little man, we have a weekend away planned in March and I am hoping that family will help out.

I don't want to leave him and the thought of it already upsets me!

If anyone can recommend a cattery I'd be really grateful,

Thanks

Have a look at this link: http://www.londonandessex.demon.co.uk/ what you see is what you get...Spencer was very well cared for while he was there, he didn't put on any weight despite being less active for 3 weeks! His coat was lovely and any special dietary requirements they will cater to if you provide the food. They have a vet etc.

Worth the money for it and my sister certainly had peace of mind twice now.

Thanks Kittybabe I will look at that website

Why the worry? If you want to go for a quick visit let us know, or if you want to just get your little boy there and then collected then that can happen too.

If its any consolation, read this: http://www.chaptanservices.com/purrs/index.php?topic=782.0

I posted this when I was going on holiday end of last year....very reassuring comments from others and you are not alone out there not wanting to leave him. I was close to cancelling the holiday all because I did not want to leave Lexy. :rofl:
