Morningside Cattery

Our 3 cats stayed here for 2 weeks, all well cared for a looked after. All food requirements were met and we have problem cat who is very feisty but she was no problem to them.

Here’s my review of Mlyward Birmans as I believe everyone deserves to know how they treat people, being the same people as Morningside Cattery:Awful experience. We agreed on a kitten, which later changed as the kitten could not be sold due to a health condition. Ron offered us a seal point kitten instead which we were originally after, travelled all the way from Bristol to Sheffield to see the kittens, fell in love with it instantly. Ron even asked us about the naming him etc. during that visit, so everything started to feel real. Long story short, 3 days before we were to travel to Sheffield again to pick the kitten up, Ron said the cat is no longer available because it’s a show quality kitten and he can’t lose out on winning a show. We were heartbroken and could not believe it as we verbally agreed on everything already! He then offered us another cat which was already reserved by someone else (!). Anything for their personal gain, kept on changing their mind throughout. As soon as we decided that maybe we will have the other kitten he then said „it was given to someone else as they have a long waiting list” which we already knew someone had it reserved and since the beginning they were both saying there is no waiting list (couldn’t even be honest, could you?) From what we have seen kittens were also fed the worst kind of food available on the market (4% actual meat content for kittens that need to grow - shocking) which is worrying and shows they don’t really care that much about cats wellbeing. What they do care about is winning shows though and nothing else. Ron never even apologized, just said “same thing happened to him when he was getting his first Birman” - poor excuse for treating people with such cruelty, but clearly to him cats are just business items.I have waited a really long time before posting this review because I am aware that Mlyward is very popular within the Birman breeders community and felt worried it would stop us from getting kittens from other breeders registered with BCC. Thankfully we were put in touch with a wonderful lady from Boston and have two beautiful cats from her now. I think Ron in a way did us a favour as I would much rather have a pet from someone who cares rather than someone as insensitive and selfish as he is.

Fantastic, I know my cat's are safe here.

It is a lovely cattery run by people who truly care about their boarders. They looked after my late cat and now my daughter takes her cats one of which collapsed while boarding but Julie the manager was magnificent getting vetinary care and staying with her as long as possible. We could not have asked for more care and will be forever grateful

Amazing cattery very reasonably priced with staff who go the extra mile. Thankyou so much to Dennis and the team!

Left my cats whilst on holiday. They didn't want to come home.They were well looked after. Fabulous friendly staff Dennis & Julie. Thanks for looking after them so well

Been to visit prior to our cats first stay. Exceptionally clean in a nice garden environment.

Wouldn't take our cats anywhere else.

So many Thanks, Pepper been here for a week, I knew she's in the good place and good hands, will definitely use this service again!

Very comfortable place for cats and owners
