Couldn't recommend little glen cattery enough! Tiggy and Arlo have just enjoyed their first double pen trip here. Zoe was so caring and wasn't phased by Tiggy's grumpiness at all! I felt both my fur babies were in the best hands possible. We were kept up to date with pics and videos too which was lovely. pens are really specious for 2 cats who are used to being outside.

I can’t rave about Little Glen enough. Our mischievous boy seems to love being there and comes back so perfectly clean and groomed - so I can tell his long fur has been brushed daily! Zoe and Geoff clearly love… their job and all the cats that they care for, which makes the whole experience so much more relaxing, for everyone involved. Sometimes, it’s just about feeling comfortable and relaxed with people and Zoe and Geoff made us feel so at ease. If you’re looking for a home-from-home, friendly and caring place to leave you precious kitties, definitely get in touch with
