Customer Testimonials

"We moved to Hitchin around 2 years ago, and chose your cattery after reading the great reviews. Zoe, our cat, gets very stressed when away from us, but we have no qualms leaving her with you as she always comes back happy, we can tell that you are real cat people and that she's always treated really well. We would never leave her at any other cattery. Thanks for looking after her x."
Matt Hibbs & Ladere Simcock - Hitchin, Herts. - 21st January 2012

"Just to say a big thank you for looking after my beloved Tillyanna yet again recently. Tillyanna greeted me very vocally when I collected her and whilst she continued to protest to me for the duration of the following night, she is absolutely fine and eating and purring well. I always feel so happy leaving her with you. With Best Wishes."
Liz Robinson - Stevenage, Herts. - 09th January 2012

"Thank you Cats Country Club for all the years of care you have given our beloved (and very spoiled!) burmese, Hovis. Even though I know he would rather stay home while we are away on our holidays, he always returns from your care in the best of spirits and it means the world to me that you look after him so well. Best Wishes."
Thelma Braybrooks - Ampthill, Beds. - 17th June 2011

"Thank you for looking after Jake for us during our various holidays, especially his later visits, with complicated medications to be dealt with. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a peaceful and caring cattery."
Alison & Tom Colegrove - Ashwell, Herts. - 4th April 2011

"I just wanted to say thank you for looking after Tilly so well when she's come to stay with you over the last few years. Especially as the last few times she's needed special care, which has meant you giving her pills crushed up in Tuna! It's wonderful to know that I can rely on you to look after her when I'm away and most importantly she always comes home a happy kitty! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you. Thanks again."
Nicky Ellis - Clifton, Beds. - 19th March 2011

"Our cat Timmy is 18 years old and has stayed at this cat hotel for many years, he was very well cared for and I would highly recommened this cat hotel."
Ann & Ed Martin - St. Ippolyts, Herts. - 19th January 2011

"Thank you so much for taking care of Tigger for me. I didn't feel that I had thanked you enough when I saw you both this morning as my brother-in-law was waiting for me. He (Tigger that is) spent the whole journey home 'squeaking' at me and has not left my side since we got home... I didn't realise how much I was going to miss him. I shall be in touch shortly with dates over Xmas and the New Year when he will need to come and see you both again. Tigger thinks your cattery is FAB! Thank you again."
Denise Kent - Campton, Beds. - 4th November 2010

"Just to let you know that Ollie is OK again now, as the vets have changed her insulin and she seems to be getting on very well with it. I have to take her back next week for a quick check. Thanks for your help in realising something was wrong so quickly and getting her back to the vets."
Teresa Brown - Shefford, Beds. - 7th August 2010

"We just wanted to thank you both so much for the your fantastic and accommodating care of Goose this summer. When he damaged his eye the day before we went, I was sure we wouldn't be able to go away and as a vet and veterinary nurse we probably panicked more than normal. It was so reassuring to know that you were happy to give him his eye drops and medication and when we picked him up his eye was almost completely healed. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone whether their cat needs medicating or not."
Sam McMillan - Stevenage, Herts. - 2nd August 2010

"I wanted to thank you for accommodating and thank you so much for looking after my two kittens Yogi and Peppa. You made a stressful time for me so much easier with your kindness and efficiency. The kittens came home happy after their new experience and I know they will look forward to their next visit especially to see the chickens! Thank you again, you are brilliant. Best Wishes, Emma, Yogi and Peppa."
Emma Dinham - Hitchin, Herts. - 16th July 2010

"Jak Somali has asked me to tell you what a purrfect holiday he had with you. He especially enjoyed his view and has made many feathered friends. He is looking forward to seeing you all again in September. Love From Jak, Mummy and Daddy.x"
Francesca Green - Sandy, Beds. - 12th May 2010

"What an excellent idea having an 'online checking facility'. Over the years I have had some bad moments, particularly when we have paid a lot for a holiday, wondering if when we get to the kennel/cattery that there would be a record of the booking. In fact it is fair to say that the standard of care, customer service and professionalism you provide is of a very high standard."
John & Gill Pearson - Hitchin, Herts. - 19th January 2010

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for looking after Majestic so well each time he had been with you. I was very concerned about leaving him for the first time back in 2007 and he is now a regular visitor to Cats Country Club. Whenever I come to pick him up he is very reluctant to come home, which is a great testimony to Mandy and Colin who look after him so well. I know I can go away and not worry about him whatsoever. He will be visiting Cats Country Club many times again in the future. Many, many thanks to you both."
Lesley Morris - Stevenage, Herts. - 27th August 2009

"Thank you both so much for looking after me so nicely last week. My 'Mummy' was very happy to have me back home in such top form.... She said I've become very brave and even cuter (!!) and said I could come and stay again soon! With Lots of purrs and cuddles, from Ziggy."
Doreen Alhadeff - Hitchin, Herts. - 22nd June 2009

"Thanks for looking after our cat Daisy. We have come back to a cat who is very content and happy. Thank you again for such fantastic care. We will come back to you again."
Jeremy & Shreeja Ashton - Letchworth, Herts. - 21st April 2009

"Just a little note to say the HUGEST of thank you's to you both for looking after and taking such good care of Ziggy. I came home yesterday to see the most content kitty who had not a care in the world - and looking so healthy, (a very far cry from my first cattery experience!!). He has already settled back home so well. Thanks again and he will definitely come back and visit in the future!"
Doreen Alhadeff - Hitchin, Herts. - 8th September 2008

"Thanks for looking after Millie so well over the last two weeks."
Simon & Julie Novis - Sandy, Beds. - 1st September 2008

"Thank you for looking after Tilly. It was very kind of you to wait for our arrival. Tilly was unusually talkative on the way home, I think she was pleased to see us, and she has settled back in. I was very nervous as this was the first time we have left her, but I needn't have worried. I would recommend you to family and friends."
Helen Carey - Finchley, London. - 18th July 2008

"We just wanted to say thank you again for looking after Heathcliff so well. He seemed very content when we got him home (-:"
Jen & Andrew Benson - Stotfold, Herts. - 8th July 2008

"Thank you for looking after Pebbles for us last week, she didn't misbehave when we got her back home, she was just more affectionate than normal so she must have enjoyed her stay."
Joanna Mustill - Hitchin, Herts. - 23rd June 2008

"Just a quick note to say thank you for looking after Meech & Cheech. They have settled in back home after their little holiday just fine!"
Becky Dainton - Hitchin, Herts. - 11th June 2008

"Millie always seems very happy when she stays with you and we are very pleased with your service!!"
Simon & Julie Novis - Sandy, Beds. - 1st February 2008

"I cannot recommend Cats Country Club highly enough. Mandy and Colin took great care of my elderly cat Helen. I always felt the utmost confidence in them because they took her circumstances and abilities into consideration and made her happy and comfortable."
Vicky Fox - Linslade, Beds. - 22nd January 2008

"Just wanted to say thank you for having Harry over the past week. I was really apoprehensive about leaving him as I hadn't left him since I got him when he was only 6 weeks old. However, he seems to have had a great time!! He's slowly settling back into being at home and I'm loving having him back. So once again thank you, see you next year!!"
Vicky Hopcraft - Ickleford, Herts. - 7th January 2008

"Just a quick note to say thanks for looking after Magic so well again - she was settled at home almost as soon as we were in the door! It's such a relief when we go away to know that Magic is not only being cared for, but is happy staying with you guys and more importantly she's not suffered from cystitis once when she's been with you!!"
Lorraine Buhagiar - Knebworth, Herts. - 2nd January 2008

"Just a quick email to say thank you so much for doing such a great job looking after Zebedee. We are so delighted that we found you and all our wedding guests were very amused to hear that Zeb was enjoying an ensuite room with a 'paddock view and private terrace'!
We would recommend you to anyone looking for a place to put their cat whilst away, he obviously loved being with you. We will be back. Thanks again."
Sophie & Chris White - Hitchin, Herts. - 17th December 2007

"Cats Country Club came to my rescue when Fudge was abandoned on my ageing mothers doorstep by my estranged wife whilst I was away in Norfolk on holiday with the children! Mandy went out of her way to collect Fudge in the evening and care for him for a week, recognising the difficulty I was faced with. I have nothing but praise for Cats Country Club and would recommend them to cat lovers everywhere."
John Hurst - Ickleford, Herts. - 3rd November 2007

"Our cat Binky stayed in the Cats Country Club for a period of over two months during our move from Hertfordshire to Yorkshire. We visited Binky while she was in the Country Club and always found her looking content, well and happy. We always felt reassured that she was in good hands, and were very appreciative that Mandy and Colin had obviously taken the time to get to know her. We would thoroughly recommend Cats Country Club and only hope we can find somewhere as good in Yorkshire!"
Alison and Geoff Kenney, (formerly of St, Albans, Herts. but now living in Yorkshire) - 15th October 2007

"A rather belated thanks for looking after Frizzle so well last summer. We have never left her for so long before and I was a little concerned, even though I know she is always in good care with you. I certainly need not have worried, she was obviously very happy. I'm beginning to think she looks forward to her summer holiday with you as much as we look forward to our own trips! Many thanks."
Phyllis Davies, Stevenage, Herts. - 9th October 2007

"Thank you very much for taking such good care of our Burmese, Skye, whilst we were on holiday this year. She obviously enjoyed the attention and fuss you gave her as she did not have her usual 'strops' and moodiness when she returned!! We would like to book for next year from...."
Kevin & Tracey Gourlay, Shefford, Beds. - 29th September 2007

"We wanted to say a big thank you for looking after Jaspur whilst we were on holiday - he is very happy to see us and every few minutes he starts purring. I think he will re-adjust quite soon - in fact he seems to get back into his home routine very well. Once again thank you and we hope that you'll have Jaspur again in a year or so."
Anna-Maria Albici & Ian Britten-Hull, Hitchin, Herts. - 3rd September 2007

"Thank you so much for looking after Molly. It was her first stay at Cats Country Club and her first time away from home since she arrived from Battersea Dogs Home, so we were a bit nervous about how she would cope.

There was no need to worry however, as she was well looked after, and we were even able to monitor Molly on the webcam from Madeira! This is a fantastic facility at Cats Country Club that we took full advantage of, and as far as I am aware, there are no other catteries in the area that have webcams. Molly will definitely be returning for her next stay in a few months' time!"
Helen and Gary Corben, Hitchin, Herts. - 15th July 2007

"Nice to speak to you this morning. Well, I've logged onto your website, and have put it in my 'favourites'! I've just been looking - your website is VERY impressive - well done!"
Belinda & Brian Robertson, Hitchin, Herts. - 19th June 2007

"Tarquin & Kissy have thoroughly enjoyed their many stays at the Cats Country Club, so much so that they were reluctant to come home after each stay! Mandy & Colin are two genuine, friendly & chatty cat lovers! If you want to leave your cat(s) in a very safe, calm, clean & friendly environment, book them in to the Cats Country Club.
As we are now moving from the area, Tarquin & Kissy will no longer be able to holiday at 'The Club' - much to their dismay!"
Warrick & Trudi Pope, Henlow, Herts. - 21st November 2006

"Cats Country Club sounds very smart, clean and friendly - and that is exactly what it is.
For the past ten years our family has had peace of mind knowing that our cat Simba has had a home from home whenever we've gone away. We always receive a cheery welcome from Colin and Mandy, and all the cats look happy and comfortable in their peaceful rural location.
We can warmly recommend this special place, and now that we are moving up north we can only hope we find a new home from home for Simba which comes with this sort of recommendation.
Many thanks to Mandy and Colin for everything."
Monica French, Hitchin, Herts. - 7th July 2006

"Just a quick note to thank you for looking after Flash while we were away. I'm sure she had a great time and she seems so chilled out now - she keeps wanting a fuss which is very unlike her! Love the picture on your website, I'll have to tell her that she's famous now.
I'm sure we'll see you again when we next go away."
Gemma & Doug Goodier, St. Neots, Peterborough. - 17th June 2006

"Once again Fritz has come back from his country club in peak condition. With other catteries we have had to keep him in for some time when he got home as he was so unsettled, but when he gets home from the CCC he's ready to go out within an hour or so. Indeed this time he was howling the place down to get out within minutes!
He always seems so contented when he gets back and is just pleased to see us, as opposed to being relieved!"
Keith Marr, Letchworth, Herts. - 30th May 2006

"I was wondering how Hattie would take to a "new" place, she was not much more than a kitten when she stayed at the CCC before, but as I left her I could see that she was quite laid back about it and I went away for the week with peace of mind, feeling assured that she was in a loving environment, this was so apparent from the start. Of course I still thought about her and missed her!
Thank you so much for looking after her so well, she didn't complain quite so much on the way back home!"
Mrs C Staniforth, Luton, Beds. - 7 May 2006

"Thank you very much for taking care of Poppy over the Easter weekend. It gave us peace of mind that she was being looked after by a very caring family.
We love the pictures in the gallery."
Mrs Clare Palmer, Beds. - 18 April 2006

"It's always incredibly difficult to leave our little darlings behind when we have to be away, but are extremely happy that Cats Country Club is there to help. Mandy & Colin are always very helpful, very polite and extremely accommodating - as my plans change last minute! I know the cats are loved after, medicines given and they enjoy their outdoor runs. Thank you CCC."
Mr Jay Sena, Beds. - 03 April 2006

"Like all cat owners we had concerns for our beloved Jessie when we went on holiday for the first time. She was from an animal rescue shelter and found it difficult leaving her. However from the moment we found your cattery we knew she would be well looked after. Now having left her with you 3 or 4 times now we now know how relaxed and happy she is when we come to collect her. Thanks for the peace of mind this has given us."
Mr M & Mrs S Wood, Beds.

"We have used CCC for many years but it has improved enormously since Mandy and Colin have taken over. Cats are not just boarded, they are given the affection they need when being away from their owners. Our cat Neko comes back looking in great form and relaxed.
We can recommend CCC to any cat owners who want to relax and enjoy their own holiday!"
Mr D & Mrs C Rands, Beds.

"As in this world one always finds a reason to complain - I thought it might make a pleasant change for someone to take the time and trouble to write a note of appreciation for your service.
Your cattery looked after our two cats Eccles and Moriarty and as this was the first time they had overnighted away from home and we were quite worried about the effect this might have on them.
When we met you it was obvious that you were not 'just running a business' but had a caring and sensitive approach to the animals in your care. When we collected our cats they seemed as relaxed and comfortable as if they had never been away from home.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH for an excellent service and at reasonable rates."
Jane Ayres & John Smith (formerly of Gravenhurst but now living in Lincolnshire)

"I was very impressed with the collection & delivery service, especially as my cat decided to do a disappearing act when Mandy arrived to collect her! Cassie came back from her week's holiday looking very relaxed & chilled out. I have already recommended Cats Country Club to a colleague at work & will be using them again in the future."
Miss A Busvine, Bucks.

"My cats have stayed at the Cats Country Club over many years. They have been looked after with great care and affection, it's a real home from home"
Mrs E Dodd, Beds.
