Catcuddles Cat Clinic is a charity-run, cat-only veterinary practice that says it operates on fees (rather than donations) to provide affordable care. The clinic advertises in-house imaging (ultrasound and digital X‑ray) alongside routine preventative work, and it also lists surgical procedures such as lump removals and “life‑changing operations.”
From the latest reviews available to us, owners describe bringing cats in for check-ups, neutering and microchipping, and one person mentions their limping cat was seen quickly. Reviews are mixed overall, with two 1‑star reviews making serious allegations about welfare, licensing/qualifications, and being pushed into unnecessary treatments—claims that directly conflict with multiple 5‑star accounts of patient, helpful clinicians.

We adopted our wonderful boy, Goku (formerly Alphonso), from Cat Cuddles in October 2023. Living locally in Hither Green, we’ve loved bringing him in for check-ups with a kind and knowledgeable South African vet. More recently, we unexpectedly found ourselves fostering a stray cat, whom we named Moo, since autumn last year. Wanting to give him the best chance at finding his forever home, we took him in to be neutered and chipped (at very affordable prices) and were incredibly grateful when Cat Cuddles volunteers offered to take him in. It had been a real struggle for me to get him on any waiting list at bigger cat charity rescues as well as other local rescue shelters/charities. With so many stray cats in London and shelters stretched to their absolute limits, the work this charity does is truly invaluable. I can sense they're all doing their best with the resources that they have. Thank you for everything you do—keep up the amazing work!

Pseudo name for the closed down cat cuddles in palmers green. Cat cuddles are abhorrent people. Their clinic was investigated for, lncluding not limited to, not adhering to animal welfare practice law, not having the correct licence or employing staff of suitable qualification and experience.House in palmers green was also cut into unlicensed bedsits above so called cat clinic. People were having their stray cats wrongly seized by them. Cat cuddles was claiming they found chips which were untrue and many cats were then being advertised for sale at 150 adoption fee and 200 other costs such as vaccinations etc, so a minimum 350. These cats were being kept in cages in a back garden in lewisham under name cat cuddles , Abbey Wood cat shelter. Cats brought in by original owners were being overcharged and were pushed into expensive and unnecessary further surgeries and treatments. Extreme distress for both at and owner. Very fond of taking negative reviews down so full information will be posted also online.This practice is not accredited by Rcvs.
