I would personally advise caution…

I would personally advise caution before using this company for cat boarding.

I initially considered using them for my cat, but during the process I encountered multiple things that raised concerns for me personally. After discussing some of these concerns with official organisations and fraud-reporting bodies, I was advised that several aspects of the process appeared to be significant red flags.

To be clear, I cannot say whether this business is a scam or not, and this review is only based on my own experience and research. It is entirely possible that some customers have perfectly fine experiences. However, I did not feel comfortable proceeding.

Some of the concerns I encountered included:
- refusal to provide formal invoices
- preference for payments linked to personal accounts rather than clearly identifiable business banking
- inconsistent communication methods and non-UK contact channels
- limited independent business history
- a relatively new Companies House registration with little publicly available operating history
- review patterns that, in my opinion, appeared unusual across different listings

Individually, some of these things may not mean much. However, when combined together, they did not inspire confidence for me when considering handing over both money and responsibility for my pet.

I also appreciate that every business starts somewhere, and younger owners or newer businesses are not inherently a problem. Hopefully, if the business is legitimate, processes and transparency improve over time. If you are reading this long into the future and the company is still operating successfully with stronger verification and clearer business practices, then that would of course be reassuring.

This is simply a warning based on my own experience so others can make an informed decision and do their own checks before proceeding.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

We respect that every customer has the right to make their own decision, and we understand that trust is especially important when it comes to pet care.

However, we would like to clarify a few points for anyone reading this review.

Cattery 001 is a registered UK business and we are committed to operating transparently and professionally. Like many growing businesses, we have continued to improve our systems over time, including our payment methods, invoicing process and verification procedures.

Regarding the points mentioned:

* We can provide invoices upon request and are continuously improving our administrative processes.
* We use UK business banking for our operations and are committed to maintaining compliant payment procedures.
* Our customer support team operates both within and outside the UK to provide extended service hours, but all bookings are managed through our registered UK business.
* We are a relatively new company, and every established business was once new. Since launching, we have successfully completed a large number of bookings and continue to grow through customer recommendations and repeat bookings.
* We take all feedback seriously and continuously improve our host screening, customer communication and operational standards.

We always encourage customers to ask questions before booking, and we’re happy to provide any information needed to help them make an informed decision.

Our priority has always been providing safe, reliable and high-quality care for every cat entrusted to us, and we remain committed to improving our service every day.

Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

We’re delighted to hear that your kitten’s first boarding experience was such a positive one. We know how nerve racking it can be leaving a young cat for the first time, so it means a lot to know she returned home calm, happy and well cared for.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Jack he’ll be thrilled to hear them! Thank you again for trusting Cattery 001 while you were away, and we look forward to welcoming your little girl back for her next stay.

Warm regards,

The Cattery 001 Team

I had a great experience communicating with this cattery. Kayla was especially helpful and really friendly—she took the time to answer my questions and was going to help get everything sorted for me. Although my plans changed and I didn’t end up needing to book, the whole process felt smooth and stress-free. It’s clear they really care about both the cats and their owners. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them in the future and would definitely recommend them to others!

ended up booking with Viadux

ended up booking with Viadux. To be honest, I nearly didn’t go ahead because I always feel slightly bad leaving my cat anywhere, even for a short time. In the end it was much less of an issue than I’d imagined, and I was glad I went through with it.

Smooth pick up and drop off

I left my cat for a few days while I was away and didn’t expect her to settle quickly, as she’s usually quite wary of new places. The first update showed her hiding and not doing much, which was pretty much what I expected.

Over the next couple of days she started coming out more and sitting near the window. When I picked her up, she was quiet but not stressed, and once home she went straight back to her normal routine. Overall it felt like a low-drama stay, which for my cat is about as good as it gets.

I left my cat with Su Su while my flat was being renovated. She was flexible with the drop-off time and made the whole process really easy. My cat settled in better than I expected, and pick-up was smooth. Overall a very convenient and stress-free experience.
