“This is such a wonderful place to board your cat while your away. Located in a very quiet area with amazing accommodation for your cat to be kept happy and safe. Boarding fees are very reasonable. We have used this business more than a few times , with our princess booked in for another stay this summer ”

“Paws for thought were the first cattery I had ever used. Two cats one aged nearly 20 and the one 10 Years of age. Both seemed very happy and content, well fed and looked after. Set up is exceptional and variety of food is vast. Definitely recommend and will use again!”
