Conveniently situated in the centre of Howick, this beautifully landscaed rural paradise is a cat's haven of peace and tranquillity. Free from the stressful noise of traffic and barking dogs, your cat can enjoy the soothing sound of running water from the water feature and the gentle tinkle of wind chimes.
Above all it is a place where you can be confident that you are leaving your beloved pet in an environment where you can be certain that they will receive the best possible care and attention, nutritious food and plenty of love and kindness by our professional and highly experienced team.
Established over 30 years ago, the cattery has enjoyed the very best reputation and is highly recommended by the local veterinarians. Over the last 16+ years the present owners, Jan and Ivan Willis, have maintained and improved its high standards of cleanliness, hygiene and care.

Howick Boarding & Breeding Cattery
Kent
24th August 2008
I
have been taking my cats to this cattery for almost 10 years. Jan is
most certainly a cat lover and talks and cuddles with the cats as if
they were her own! I am also grateful that they send their Xmas booking
sheets in Sept/Oct as it reminds me to get our holiday plans finalised
and make sure we can book our cats in for those times. They get booked
up quite early and that to me tells me that they are good at what the
do. The 'male owner' ,as other reviewers have worded him, Ivan,
actually went out of his way when my very frail cat of 17ys passed
away, (not unexpected) peacefully, while we were on holiday, contacting
me and making the necessary arrangements, which included burying her in
our garden before we got back. Now if that isn't service, I don't know
what is!!!

Great Cattery that goes beyond a boarding cattery - Excellent people,
service, and care !!!!!
We have had three cats looked after by Jan and Ivan over the years. Our
first cat was a 16 yr old Burmese with kidney disease and required
medication and special food - we always felt assured our cat was being
well cared for - and he was! James our mandalay was very well cared for
and always seemed relaxed when we collected him. Unfortunately James
was killed on the road outside our home and was very touched that Jan
expressed her sincere condolences - a very genuine lady. We now have
Henry our blue mandalay boarding with Jan and Ivan as required and he
is always very happy when collected and I am told he receives lots of
cuddles that he loves! We have also had vets recommend Jan and Ivan's
cattery. This cattery
is one of the best I have ever encountered?????

I
have been taking my cats here for well over 14 years, they have been
well cared and looked after.
one of my cats was still being cared for at the age of 19 and my
younger one has been cared for since she was 6 months she is now 7. The
cattery is very clean and on collecting the cats all the other cats
look pretty happy too. As for the comment on not accommodating for less
than 5 days, this only applies to the Xmas period, when they are very
busy and bookings are made by Sept/Oct.
I suppose I know the owners very well now and yes you would need to have
a good sense of humor to relate to them. Like every business they have
their rules and times you adhere to. Until I have no further cats I
will keep using this cattery.
Norwegian Forest Cat
The Norwegian Forest cat, aka 'The Viking
Cat', is a large, semi-longhaired Norwegian breed. It is an ancient
breed, and is one of the largest of all domestic breeds, with only the
American Maine Coon being larger.
It is a powerfully built cat with long hair, a full ruff, tuffeted ears
and a bushy tail. The Norwegians front legs are slightly shorter than
the hind legs. Its long outer coat is glossy and water resistant, while
the thick undercoat adds protection against the cold. |
