"A wonderful cattery - lovely surroundings & lovely people. We wouldn't take Higgins anywhere else.  He enjoys it too!"

"This was our cat's first stay in a cattery and although she is of a very nervous disposition around strangers, she settled in very well and came home completely unfazed by her stay. Needless to say we were very pleased."

"This is just a brilliant place."

Comments from cattery users

"In all our years of putting our cats in catteries, we have never come across such a genuine cat lover  who loves what she does and yet whilst a business, this is clearly a vocation for her"

"Fabulous cattery, always welcoming and accommodating. A real home away from home."

"Was of great assistance with my cat's dietry problem.  Able to suggest the right food which my cat liked and stopped her sickness problem."

             "I doubt very much if you could find a cleaner, well planned and more considerately owned cattery anywhere. The animals have a lovely outlook also."

"The care and attention our cat receives at Cat's Pyjama's is second to none. The cattery is always clean and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. The best in the UK I'm sure."

"We have used three other catteries over the years and none of them have provided our cats and us with the excellent services and care which we are now fortunate to have. It's a bonus that the owners are such super people!"

"Helen and Mark gave a very personal touch to the way they worked - I felt very happy to leave

my cat in their safe hands!!"

"We would not go on holiday if we were unable to book our cat into Fordham Cattery."

"The owners' affection and concern for the cats go beyond the call of duty and should be recognised."
