The great care taken by staff to ensure my beloved furbaby Aroha was well cared for when she was spayed. Friendly atmosphere meticulous service provided. To all the staff : Thank you so much for being so thoughtful because she was a rescue i was particularly concerned at first, not anymore. God bless you abundantly.

The cattery is excellent. Each cat has it’s own cage which is high enough ( approx 1.5m) for a mezzanine floor and a ladder to reach it. They love sitting up there and some cages have windows that they can look out towards Te Rapa straight. You can bring their favourite furniture ( scratching post or bed etc). Each day their cage is cleaned and they are able to walk around in a safe area while this is done. Tessa looks after the cattery and does an amazing job getting to know your cat. Tessa looked after my cat for 7 weeks last year and 12 days this year and Cindy remembers her like a best friend. Tessa even sends me videos of her progress.

Very disappointing experience. The service was not friendly or welcoming. We asked three separate times (before booking and again before and after the appointment) whether the visit would be covered by Best for Pets, and were assured each time that it would be and could be claimed back. Afterward, when we trid to claim Best for Pets confirmed this clinic is not partnered and the visit was not covered. Being given incorrect information multiple times is frustrating and misleading. We won’t be returning.

Fabulous being able to get a same day appointment after my cat had been in a fight. Staff were friendly and empathetic. Vet did a fantastic job of explaining my cats injury and what to look out for over the next few days.
