Good cattery in Edinburgh

wallacebob

Having moved recently, we need help with puss when we go on holiday. We used to have an excellent place in Dumfriesshire, so what are the best , and obviously best value in Edinburgh for our little pal.

Prefer south Edinburgh, as we're in Morningside.
thanks!

dont know but I live nearby so if i can help house sit your cat, let me know. Send me a PM (i will be cheaper than cattery too and have my own two!)

May even be poss for you to drop of moggy here if they would get on with my two.

Thanks Angelflower, what a kind offer. Cream is a little unsociable though, so doesn't like other cats. I am going to have a look at cattery in Colinton on Monday.

We've yet to find a nice cattery in Edinburgh. Instead we travel across to "The cattery" in Dunfermline.

I know of a new cattery that's just opened near Forth if that's any good? It's run by a qualified veterinary nurse and her husband and has only been open a few weeks. It's called Crookland Cattery and can be contacted on (01555) 811541.

My wife's aunt runs a cattery and kennels near Bathgate

Hilltop House, Ballencrieff Toll, nr Bathgate.

We don't have the phone number right now but she'll be in the phonebook.

The best cattery is "Glenview Cattery" in Dunfermline.

Had a look at Colinton Cattery, seems nice. People were very friendly, so we'll give it a go in February.
Thanks for everyone's help, I'll let you know how we get on.

We used Adams Cattery cattery near Bathgate in the summer and the owners were very welcoming. The cattery was very clean and the cats there seemed contented.

I don't know a cattery but I can recommend a cat sitter in Edinburgh who I have used several times - comes round once or twice a day, feeds, cleans and plays with puss. Suits my cat much better to be at home.

That's supposed to be very good indeed. It's just literally about 2 mins away from where we live, although we haven't tried it yet (we will later this year). We did say to a friend about it though, who travelled out from Edinburgh to use it, and she put her cat in over Xmas & New Year. She said it was really, really nice. She got a text message & photo on Xmas Day saying that the cat was fine & everything!

We did use a cattery in Fountainhall for years which is south of Edinburgh, but it's maybe a bit too far from where we live now (about an hours drive). I would definitely recommend it though - Ivanlea Cattery, who are FAB-registered too:
