Olliark Boarding Cattery

"Our cat has been coming to this cattery for over five years. She is a difficult customer outside of our home but the new owners are skilled with her dislike of going into her carry case and have continued to make her stay worthwhile. It is in a nice semi-rural setting which our cat likes. The passion for the cattery is evident. I have peace of mind that she is being looked after and hope to book many more stays. I would recommend booking in advance as it is popular."

"This is the first time we have had to use a Cattery. After numerous recommendations on a local social media platform, it seemed Dani and the team at Olliark Cattery was the one for us! We organised a visit before the stay, Where We were shown round the facilities. They were lovely and clean and the little personal touches for the cats were so lovely. Dani went over and above, in every single aspect of our experience. Our cat is an awkward 10year old stuck in his ways and we were so worried about him. Dani kept us updated and really put our minds at rest! I couldn’t recommend this Cattery and Dani anymore!"

"This cattery is very clean, well set up and organised. The owners are lovely and obviously care very much for the animals in their care. They followed covid guidelines during drop off and pick up. We were really impressed with how nice their set up is, cats have warmed sleeping areas with access to an 'outdoor' (but still secure!) area. Everything was very clean and the cats all seemed very happy and well cared for. Although our cat always hates leaving home and can be very nervous, they seemed happy at pick up and have returned to their normal self once home, so they must have felt safe and comfortable. They also took to the owners, which is very good to see from such a fussy, shy cat. Another huge plus is they do many things for free that I have seen other cattery's charge extra for. For example, we could request our cats normal food, they sent us a video of them during the stay, and they would stroke, play and pet them throughout the day. We were a little late to our drop off because our cat didn't want to get in their crate, but the owners were lovely and let us drop off a little later than arranged. The communication to set up our spot and during their stay was great. They gave our cat a special dinner for Christmas and even gave him a gift! They even gave us a photo of our cat as a little gift when we picked up. They are well worth the money and distance to know our cat is so well cared for. I cannot recommend them enough!"

"Olliark cattery is a very lovely place to leave your cats for a holiday themselves. It was the first time I'm ever gone away and left my two babies Axel and Kiki in a cattery. So as you can imagine I was very nervous. But straight from arrival I was made welcome. Jan and Kev are lovely very perfesional people. Are very big on security making sure your little ones are put in the runs (I call them lol) safely. Axel my ginger tabby male is very nervous when it comes to traveling he is usually sick and poo's bless him. I tried to use a Harnis but he got out of it and i was worried I'd have no way to get him out my car to his pen. Luckily Jan had an open carrier which we used for axel. I was given the carrier to keep for good which I found he was very comftable in as he can see out of it. I had updates and photos/videos through WhatsApp by request, which I thought was an amazing idea so I was kept updated with how they was doing which kept me feeling less apprehensive and able to enjoy my holiday. Both my cats were very comftable and relaxed they even had days where they was played and interactive with. I can't say anymore then give this place a 5* rating and have also re-booked for next year. Which I had to do asap as this place gets fully booked real quickly. I was also given a black and white photo/drawing of my babies which was not expected which is absolutely gorgeous. A truly marvellous gift. Thank you again Jan and Kev"

"Olliark is an absolutely fantastic cattery and a great home from home for my two cats. They settle in very quickly on each visit and often greet us grumpily when we return as they want to stay another week! I couldn't ask for more from Jan and Kev. They look after cats with such care and love and I always feel happy leaving my cats with them, knowing they are safe and happy. Thank you!"
