    My wee cat has been at Pawsawhile for an extended stay (5 weeks). He’s been well look after and seems very happy there. Kelly and the team have gone out of their way to fit him in through the busy periods.

    Thank you to Kelly & her team. I’ve just picked our Kitty up, who is relaxed & unchanged by her stay at Paws a while Cattery, great signs of a well run establishment. When searching the internet for a Cattery I had a chick list. 1. Who operates the Cattery & what is their knowledge, back story/history. 2. How do they receive enquiries & are they welcoming. 3. How will my cat interact with them. I absolutely believe I made the right choice. I was well informed of what to expect & how my fur baby was doing while we were away. Kelly & her team are number on my list to take care of my fur baby.

    Kelly and her team really care about cats and their owners. My cat had two, one month stays this year. When I collected him it was evident he was happy, healthy and really well looked after. Kelly was very accommodating when my dates changed due to a delay outside my control. Highly recommend Paws-A-While for anyone seeking exceptional care for their cat.

    Our girl loves coming here. The cattery is well set up, light, good airflow, never too crowded and just feels good. We've put our girl through a few catteries and this one is the o ly one she's really been settled, and happy in. Kelly and her team are fantastic!
