Recommendations for a cattery?

Stata

April 2014 edited April 2014 in Local discussion

We used Loggerheads in Highams Park once. The place is a tad depressing (no windows), but the ladies that ran it seemed to adore the furry critter (gave him the family pen) and he seemed okay after the ordeal (abeit with diarrhoea). Is there anywhere nearby anyone would recommend? We did consider the Archway Elite cattery - but were not quite sure what our cat would make of 'communal exercise', so avoided that one.

Cats Whiskers are a cat-sitting service: http://www.cats-whiskers.info/index.php<div><br></div><div>Not sure about costs, but it's less disruptive for the cat.</div>

Dragon on Hornsey Rd. Except it's changed names to something I can't remember.

Dragon changed their name to Hornsey Vets (a pity, but they apparently have other branches and decided that a group called Canonbury Vets, Highbury Vets and Dragon Vets (or whatever it was) got people confused...) I've never used the cattery but they're very nice people.The cattery is in a room at the back of the shop, so easy to check out.

The one in Enfield boards dogs as well as cats, which I suppose is fine if your cat is ok with dogs. Hornsey is small but they don't take many cats, they had a revamp about five years ago. Best thing would be to visit the one that takes your fancy before you make the booking I guess, although your cat eill hate it regardless.

That's kind of you to go to such trouble to gather all the info about Enfield. How many cats board there, are they allowed out into the fields? Do you know what kind of vet facilities etc.? Useful to have the personal recommendation, thank you! There should be some kind of trip advisor thing where owners can rate catteries.

Thanks for your help. I'll check those out. Yes, there are some pretty lush (to human eyes) places out of London. I don't use cat sitters, I just can't bear the thought of strangers in my home when I'm not there. If I can, I usually try to get my brother to stay and sell it to him as free accommodation in London plus pay (and plus cat!)
