“Fantastic”
“Me and my mum have used Valley Cats and it fantastic!! Great place to leave your cats whilst away, no worries at all! Beautiful set up and Kay is brilliant :) highly recommended!!”
“5-Star Luxury”
“Beautiful cattery, lot of care in love put into building it. Spoiled cats, it's like 5-star luxury.”
“Great Accommodation”
“At last! We've tried many catteries in Rochdale area but none came up to scratch...and then we tried Valley Cats. Great accommodation and lovely people. We don't need to go anywhere else now. On the journey home, there was only minimal meowing and they were so much more relaxed than they've been after staying at other catteries.”
“Caring and Loving”
“I just wanted to share my experience with Valley Cats. They have been an absolute godsend. I'm in the process of buying a new home and unfortunately, my temporary home does not allow pets. Valley Cats were recommended to me by a friend. I needed somewhere where I could leave Alfie initially for 3.5 months, obviously, I was very anxious about this. Kay and her team have been so caring and loving towards Alfie and have put my mind at rest. Unfortunately, my house has now been delayed so Alfie's stay will be 5 months at Valley Cats and I have no worries or hesitations of him being at Valley Cats. Kay treats him as part of the family and I'm sure he will be sitting round her dinner table on Christmas day. I visit Alife, fortnightly to not unsettle him and Kay sends me regular updates. I highly recommend using Valley Cats, whether it be short-stay or long. Kay and the team are just brilliant.”
“Brilliant”
“My first experience of boarding my 2 kittens but it was made a wonderful journey from start to finish; we had regular updates and pics. They have come home happy, chilled, and a little bit fatter. All in all, I think they had a fantastic holiday, thank you. I can’t recommend valley cats highly enough, they are brilliant and the cattery is stunning.”
“Beautiful”
“Yesterday I picked my two girls up after using Valley Cats for the first time, whilst I went away to Canada for 16 days. I have used other catteries in the past and I have to say in all honesty that this is by far the best! Both of my cats love being outdoors for most of the day, so it’s hard on them being confined in any cattery when I go on holiday, as you can imagine. I researched dozens of catteries for weeks before I went because the one I usually use is ok for a couple of days, but too small for over a fortnight. I rang and spoke to Kay a couple of times before booking them in and she was so lovely, taking the time to speak to me, not at all rushed. My boyfriend dropped them off and told me it was beautiful – more like a ‘cat resort’ than a cattery! ;-) Whilst we were away, we were able to use Facebook messenger to speak to Valley Cats and see if they were ok, and we saw a photo of them being posted on the Facebook page as well as updates, which we loved as it gave us peace of mind. When you meet the staff, such as Sue, you can clearly see how much they love and care for all the cats. In the past when I have collected them from other catteries, they have been anxious and irritable on the journey home, but yesterday they were so calm and content – and this says a lot as I live in Bolton and it is a 50-minute trip! Within 5 minutes of being back at home, they were completely chilled! Thank you Valley Cats, thoroughly recommended and we will be back again. Sally, Maggie, and Mildred.”
”Would Highly Recommend”
“It's the second time I've left my two at Valley Cats. Nervous rescue cats, siblings. First time, they were scared when we left, the second time they were off exploring right away. Don't know what you've done to them Kay and staff but they have come back confident, happy, less nervous, and very cuddly! Would highly recommend - it's a 40-minute drive for us but well worth it because I know they are safe and happy.”
“Relaxed”
“The cats are so relaxed, booked a week for myself ..only joking, but even though it's my daughter’s cattery, I am so proud of it, and the cats are so happy...Kay and Sue make me laugh, they can speak cat language.”
“Clean”
“Went today for a look unannounced, what can we say, beautiful, quiet, clean, all the cats were chilled and settled, thanks for letting us disturb your morning routine. Think Fluffy may get a little too comfy on her stay with you. Looking forward to bringing her for her holiday.”
“Fantastic”
“Fantastic place with very caring staff who will do anything for all their guests to make them feel comfortable! Thank you for taking such good care of Pebbles! Will definitely be bringing her back here when we go away again! 5* place which I would certainly recommend to anyone that needs somewhere for their kitties, thanks again!!”
“Outstanding”
“Our cats have spent their holidays here for quite a few years now because they always receive outstanding care with Kay & her team. This is the first year since the upgrade of the cattery that our five have stayed in the spacious Penthouse Suite and which they have definitely enjoyed because they are all so chilled & content. Nice to meet Sue who obviously shares her affection with all cats & has taken great care of our boys & girls this last fortnight. Thank you once again & would highly recommend.”
“Content and Happy”
“Left my three-legged rescue scaredy-cat with valley cats for 2 1/2 weeks while on holiday. Came back to a very content and happy puss-cat. I felt extremely confident leaving her, meaning I could enjoy my holiday completely! Would highly recommend this place to all feline owners (particularly if your cat is a little unsure of most things, like mine!)”
“Thank You”
“Been looking for months for the perfect place to put my princess as I didn't want her being left alone for hours. Came across valley cats by chance and I'm so glad I did! Left her for 2 weeks whist I went away, messaged them to see how she was doing and they sent pictures and she looked so content and happy! Will definitely be leaving her here in future when I go away! Thank you so much!”
“Chilled”
“Thank you Valley Cats, especially Susan, for looking after my baby Suzy. Just picked her up and she is so chilled. Would not hesitate in recommending you.”
“A Great Holiday”
“I’ve just collected my ragdoll kitten Lulu after a 2-week stay. I was very sad leaving her as she is very timid, a house cat and used to lots of cuddles and attention. I was so relieved when I went to collect her, she was clean, brushed, and looking very happy and relaxed. She had found a new friend and had a great holiday. What an amazing place, thank you so much for looking after and caring for Lulu. She looks forward to seeing you for another holiday soon.”
“The Right Choice”
“Amazing first experience of boarding our kitten, Ronnie! We were really nervous but from the moment we arrived, we knew that we had made the right choice! Kay was so reassuring and kind, spending time with us to see him happily settled. Throughout the holiday she sent us photos so we could see how happy and confident he was. When we picked him up, he'd grown and had clearly been loved and cherished in our absence. Cannot recommend this holiday home highly enough. We've already booked Ronnie's next vacation! Thank you once again, Kay and Sue!”
“Lovely”
“Thank you so much for looking after Cleo for the past 3 weeks whilst I have been in hospital. I was so surprised when she didn’t want to come home as she was so happy and contented. It is the 1st time she has been in a cattery and I shall certainly use your lovely cattery again. It is so clean and well looked after and the staff are so friendly and obviously love cats.”
“Very Nice”
“Just had my cats in, they didn't even want to go home with us, the lady is very, very nice, highly recommend!”
“Amazed”
“Left my Sebastian for 4 days and he was well looked after. Amazed by the routine they get the cats in. I walked in and they were all having their nap time. Lovely people. Will definitely be using again.”
“The Best I’ve Seen”
“Viewed the cattery today and was so impressed with the place and Susan was lovely with us and the cats! I'm so happy to have found a place for our kitties to stay. The accommodation is the best I've seen, lovely people and lovely little touches, they even have a luxury penthouse, not that you need it as all the chalets are great! Susan knew all the cats’ names and characters and I feel 100% happy to leave my pets here. Friendly, efficient, and luxurious, 5 stars valley cats!!”
“Friendly”
“Lovely, friendly cattery. I can leave Wolfie there, knowing he's going to be so well looked after.”
“Efficient”
“Fantastic cattery, Bob always loves his stay there, friendly, efficient staff who really care about your pet!”
"Really Happy”
“Really happy with Valley Cats, and more to the point, so was our cat! Thanks.”
“Relaxed and Happy”
“A lovely, friendly place, spacious rooms for the cats and an open run at the back of each room to get some fresh air. Teddy was there for only 2 days but when I peeped in before I picked him up he was relaxed and happy, highly recommend!”
“5-Star Accommodation”
“Just picked my three cats up and they actually feel like they have put weight on, lovely new catteries and runs, 5-star accommodation.”
“Definitely Recommend”
“Fabulous set up.... very spoiled cats... they really have the best of everything here... would definitely recommend.”
