"This is a 1st class cattery.  The 1st FAB listed cattery I have used and far the best

of any cattery I have used in the past"

"First time we have used this cattery and everything was perfect."

"We couldn't have asked for better care for our cat - he came home content and looking beautiful. 

We will definitely send him to Jackie again."

"Jaxcats is wonderful - I would recommend them to anyone!"

"The owner of this cattery takes a keen interest in all all aspects of my cats welfare and general behaviour.  She is committed to providing care and attention as well as clean, warm, comfortable accommodation.  I could not rate this cattery more highly."

"Rachel has a very caring yet professional attitude and we will be using her services again

due to the very high standard of care our Perisan cat received"

"Bruiser was well cared for and loved, he was not stressed & settled in very well. 

Will leave him anytime we go away.  Really pleased with care."

"This is a well run cattery by a very caring owner.  I never have any qualms about leaving my cat there."

"I have used catteries for approximately 15 years in this area and Buddle Oak is by far the best.  Cats are happy and settled; fed their normal food and cared for very well; with an excellent owner Rachael who is brilliant with the cats without being 'soppy'.  Some previous catteries I have used the cats have been overfed and loved, but illness undetected.  I recommend Buddle Oak to everyone."

"A happy and welcoming environment.  Owners obviously love cats and are helpful

and caring about special requests"

“I have been taking my cats here for a holiday for over 12 years and I have always

found the owner to be very kind, efficient and caring.”

"A lovely peaceful setting - cats always look calm and happy. Very friendly and caring owners."

"Dawn Trundle provided the best possible care for our cat (and for us).  Our second cat was run over the day before both cats were booked in the cattery. Our remaining cat had never been alone before and we were very worried about having to leave her. Dawn kept us updated on her condition and gave her extra care and cuddles."

"I've only ever had first class treatment here - for my cat and for me."

"Our cat Ricky was clearly cared for during his fortnight's vacation."

"Having used several catteries in the past - some of them excellent standard, I have no hesitation in saying emphatically that Cats at Chaldon is by far the best."

"We were out of the country for two months and my cats were so well looked

after by two fantastic ladies I will always use them now."
