Owner & cat carer
Meet Lois Tucker
The friendly face behind West End Cattery.
A genuine love for cats
Care that feels personal
Lois understands that leaving a much-loved cat in somebody else’s care is a big decision. Her aim is to make every guest feel secure, comfortable and settled while giving owners reassuring, friendly service.
With only eight units, West End Cattery is deliberately small. This gives Lois time to get to know each cat, follow their usual routine and notice the little things that help them feel at home.
