I think our cat enjoyed her stay here more than we did our holiday.

"Friendly Manager, clean, varied and good sized rooms for your kitty. All the rooms have access to an out door verandah. They also have large luxury suites that are pretty amazing. Good place for long stays. These people are passionate about cats it's not just a business"

"Our wee Roscoe has returned happy after her stay here for over two weeks. She is a rescue kitty so is pretty nervous but she looks fantastic and is relaxed. Thank you all for looking after our wee girl (despite the name lol)"

My cats came back as happy and healthy as ever. The owners are so very kind and look after all the days like they are their own kids. I 100 percent recommend this place for anyone with cats that want to go away.

"Loving the new owners at Riverside Cattery! Our cat was so pampered! Our much loved family "Puss" that would normally be so eager to come home barely blinked an eyelid before stretching out and laying back in her luxury cat castle. It certainly made our homecoming less stressful with a relaxed Puss"

"I was nervous leaving my cats here for the first time but could see how much care and attention is given to the cats staying here when I dropped them off. It was very clean and clearly knew the cats names and characters that were staying there. Loved seeing the Facebook update. Both our cats came home so chilled and happy. Will be back again"

"It's obvious that Carrie and Andrew are genuine cat lovers -- they take the most amazing care of our kitties every time we're away. It's fantastic to be able to travel, whether for a weekend or a month, and know that our furbabies are being cared for"
