Customer Reviews

"Our cat, Dylan has been boarding at Eastmead for several years now but when we took him along for a fortnight in December 2018, it was the first time that he -or we- had met Kirsty. We were really reassured to see that Dylan took to Kirsty straight away as did we. In fact, Dylan enjoyed his holiday break so much that he seemed reluctant to come home! He had obviously been well looked after as he was in great condition and was very relaxed on the way home. We have already booked him in again for a break in May. We would not hesitate to recommend this clean and comfortable cattery to any cat owner."

"My two cats stayed with Kirsty at Eastmead Cattery for a month while we were between houses. The Cattery is beautiful and exceptionally clean, my cats were in a garden room which gave them more space than in previous catteries I have tried. One of my cats is quite nervous, Kirsty was very patient with him and he soon came out of his shell. When I picked them up they both looked happy and healthy, I would definitely recommend Eastmead Cattery."

"Our cat recently boarded with Kirsty at Eastmead. Superb attention from Kirsty throughout and he settled in quickly and in no time was very happy in his new surroundings even accepting his daily grooming and making a fuss of Kirsty whilst she did it. No problems whatsoever and I wouldn't hesitate in thoroughly recommending Eastmead Cattery and Kirsty the owner to anyone in the future. We will certainly be going back! Thank you."
