Welcome to the Old School Cattery, situated in the garden of a 16th century thatched cottage located in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, a few miles from Bury St. Edmunds.
The cattery is owned and operated by Pam and Oli D'Alberto. Pam is a qualified Animal Behaviourist. As cat owners ourselves we know how much you love and care for your cats. We understand that leaving your cats in our care can be hard, but rest assured that we will provide the highest level of physical and emotional care, so that you can totally relax whilst you are away. Here at the cattery we build relationships not only with the owners but most importantly with your cats themselves. We take time to listen and get to know each individual cats requirements so they can also relax and feel at home. During every stay each cat will be expertly catered for in one of the guest rooms in the state of the art, custom built cattery.
We are fully licenced by West Suffolk Council.
