Title: Any Recommended Catteries for Croydon, Surrey Area ?
Post by: moongirl on December 19, 2009, 16:42:21 PM
Hi,

Would anyone please be able to recommend any catteries reasonably local to the Croydon area in Surrey, ie, Coulsden, Banstead, Hooley, Kenley, Purley, Whyteleaf and surrounding villages.

If you have personal experience of any local catteries both good and bad we would be grateful for some info. Its for a short period of approx 5 days for our cat and if we can take her food for her all the better. We have never used a cattery before so its all a bit new and slightly worrying for us. Any feedback and tips as to what to look out for and protocol etc most appreciated.


Thx & Rgds

Gill,

Thanks for the info.

We seem to have left this a bit late as all of the places we have tried are fully booked. As newish cat owners (9 months) it's the 1st time we have considered using a cattery and should have realised that over the Xmas period they would be fully booked if they are any good.

I think that it's going to be a good few phone call to see if we can find somewhere suitable. There are some highly recommended "cat home visitors" just the other side of Croydon to us but we are not in their "visiting" area so I suppose a local one of them would be an option.


Thx for advice anyway, definitely will use FAB in future now we know the demand etc.

Rgds

Would your vet be able to recommend a good local catsitter, moongirl?
