Individual Attention
It is only natural to worry about your cats as we know all cats are different and their needs are not all the same. We will listen to any concerns or requests you may have and make sure your cats have all the attention and care they need. Every cat is treated as an individual and will get his or her own loving and personal attention, ensuring that their stay with us is as happy as possible. All cats are treated with top brand quality food, kittens to older cats, and those with specific or special dietary requirements are also catered for. Bedding and toys are not provided, but if your cat(s) has its own bed or bedding and toys, please feel free to bring them as familiarity will help your cat(s) to settle.

GOOD Based on 21 reviews Megan Guardado2023-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can not rate Jane or her cattery high enough. We had an unusual request as our cats required long time boarding as we had flown them over from Australia. Jane and her team were extremely accommodating and nothing was ever too much trouble and we were allowed to visit them anytime. I would happily send any of my cats there again and thank you again Jane and Fred for looking after them when we could not. Forever grateful.

Caroline Newman2022-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time for my two girls staying at Ferara and they have come home so happy and content, when we collected them this morning they were relaxed and I think they would like to have stayed longer. The pens are spacious and spotlessly clean, which is so important to me, when I made the initial enquiry, I was offered to view the Cattery and made my mind up straight away that my girls would be happy there. Thank you Jane for being so accommodating. First class Cattery with 5 stars 🌟 🤩 Mark Vinters2022-03-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My cat is always happy here, so much so I wasn’t sure he wanted to come home. He is obviously well looked after and has no anxiety or clinginess when he gets home.
