Testimonials

Cheryl looked after my cat Buttons for nearly 6 months while my house was renovated.
I was so impressed with how well she was cared for. Cheryl took time to brush her as well - love those wee extra thoughtful touches. Cheryl was also very accommodating for visits during that time. She is clearly a natural with cats as every time I visited I could see that my cat was so comfortable around her.
Such a lovely quiet place set back off the road.
Great for those flying as so close to the airport. Highly recommend to all. Your cat is in great hands with Cheryl!

My cat is a very sensitive soul in every meaning of the word!! He needs quite a lot so I was nervous about putting him in a cattery... Cheryl very quickly put my mind at ease through her great personality and her love of cats. When it came time to pick Ninja up I was amazed! My cat who rarely likes anyone but my husband and I was smitten with Cheryl! He was glowing with happiness and behaved himself completely which is more than I can say for other times when people have dropped into feed our cats on other occasions when we have been away! I am a cattery convert! Thank you Cheryl for being you and running and amazing business 10/10 would recommend

Cheryl has looked after my crazy cat on a couple of occasions. She is always so well looked after and always gives me an update on how she is. Thoroughly recommend Cheryl and 4Paws.

Jaime, 5 Star Facebook review, November 2018

"Our fur babies had a 3 night stay at 4 Paws Cat Motel this weekend and despite a very nervous Mummy (first time we have left them) they settled in quickly and had a wonderful time! We got daily updates (I texted) including photos and I would happily and highly recommend this place to any cat owner! Cheryl and Phil are such friendly caring people who are obviously passionate about what they do and we will not hesitate to book our cats in in the future.
The rooms are clean and comfortable and a good size; very reasonably priced and lovely big outdoor areas for cats to run around in and also plenty of indoor space too for wet days!
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!"

Cheryl looked after Nacho for three weeks like he was her own whilst we were in the midst of a housing emergency, she was so helpful, with amazing communication and we are so grateful we can place our cat in a place we feel that he is at home in! Highly recommend!
