About us

Welcome to Pinewood Cattery

In April 2021, I took over running Pinewood after starting work here in 2008, working my way through Deputy Manager and then Manager for 7 years.

We spend time getting to know your cat as well as possible, and in turn for them to get to know and trust us. They receive plenty of attention which we tailor to their individual needs in order to make their stay as pleasant and stress-free as possible.

We ensure we work to very high standards of care, treating each cat as if they were our own.

We are happy to arrange for new clients to view the cattery, to put your mind at ease. But please make an appointment in advance to ensure we have a senior member of staff available to show you around.

I hope to meet you and your cats soon,

Sam

Frequently asked questions

We have 40 runs in total –

27 standard runs that can house 1 or 2 cats – from the same home only.

13 larger runs/suites that have multi-level cat trees, the largest can accommodate up to 5 cats – from the same house if you have that many!

There is plenty to keep you furry friend entertained!

There is a shelf on the inside area behind a window, so the cats can be warm while watching the world go by. There are also 2 different heights of shelf on the outer part of the run to give more options of places to perch

All boarders get plenty of attention which includes fussing, playing, or just a lap for your cat to curl up on!

We’re so sorry but unfortunately we cannot board diabetic cats

We try to groom all of our boarders every day (on their terms of course)

All runs have their own thermostat-controlled heat lamps for the cats to snuggle up under

We encourage clients to bring any beds, blankets and toys from home.  This means the cat(s) have familiar items and smells to help settle them in to a ‘strange/new place’.

The cattery has safety passages and 600mm ‘sneeze-gaps’ between units

We do NOT board dogs, so the cattery is a lot quieter
