About The Cat's Whiskers Boarding Cattery

The Cat's Whiskers is situated in the suburb of Harborne, just over three miles from Birmingham city centre. It is easy to get to by road and is on a main bus route.

Despite its convenient city location, it is set in a peaceful country-like setting, surrounded by the beautiful parkland of Harborne Golf Course. This ensures that resident animals have minimum disturbances and usually settle in quickly.

The Cattery is run by and is next door to the Orchard Veterinary Centre so we are fortunate to have vets close at hand in case of emergency. This enables us to give ongoing veterinary care as and when needed. The staff are trained and skilled in the administration of medicines for those animals on long-term treatment.

  • Totally amazing folk work there not only treating treasured pets with skill and compassion but also caring for their owners with empathy. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

  • I’ve been with Orchard Vets for 15 years and wouldn’t take my dogs anywhere else. The friendliness and caring nature of the staff exceeds expectations. In the past year I’ve had to have two of my amazing Shih-tzu’s put to sleep (due to old age) and the way my fur babies and my family were treated will remain with me forever. Likewise, with regular appointments and emergency appointments for my puppy they are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. If you are looking for a reliable, professional and friendly vet then look no further. Thank you, especially to all the staff at the Oldbury branch

  • Have used Orchard since they first opened in Wednesbury 40+ years ago. They have amazing, caring vets, nurses and reception/admin staff. Our fur babies have always received the best care and treatment.

  • Care, compassion and professionalism are always experienced at Orchard Vets. I originally met Mr Dudley in the early 1980s and have never been anywhere else since!

  • Wouldn’t take my two staffie boys anywhere else, younger one went to puppy classes with Natalie so he has no fear of going to see the vet now and knows he will get fussed and a little treat! My older, anxious rescue recently had to have 8 teeth out and he was cared for really really well, I swear he was made such a fuss of that he was disappointed to see me when I went to collect him!

  • The staff at Orchard vets in Wednesbury were fantastic today. Our little cat had been shot, and the staff were so compassionate and caring. They removed the pellets, gave lots of advice about what we should do next, and have ensured her aftercare. The vet spent lots of time talking to us - such a lovely lady. Thank you.

  • Dr Frances is the kindest, sweetest most knowledgeable vet we’ve ever met! She’s very caring, comfortable and looks after our cat Mittens so well. She even remembered Mittens and the family after a year of not seeing us! The reception team at Orchard Vets is also very kind and quick to get us booked in and straight in the cat waiting room. Highly recommend Dr Frances at Orchard Vets we wish we could see her every time!

  • Thanks to Emma and all the team for operating on my cat Sonic today, after he got into a scrap with a tougher cookie! Genuine appreciation to all staff who help out when I can't manage physically. All the practice nurses and reception team are great and Emma's skills are fantastic. We've moved home but we're not changing Orchard! It's so hard to find this combination of kindness, professional knowledge, value for money and genuine care for my cats.

  • The team were magnificent in dealing with the urgency of my cat who had suddenly become paralysed. From the first panic phone to seeing my cat right through to the sad ending, they were professional, caring, explained everything and we know we made the right decision. We can't rate this vet service enough.

  • Thank you to the wonderful staff here for looking out for our little lady Millie for half her life. Staff were very understanding, compassionate and respectful when it was time to say goodbye, she was loved for almost 15 years. Thank you for the card, it means a lot to us.

  • A massive heartfelt thank you to the vets, nurses and support staff at Orchard Wednesbury for the care and devotion that they delivered to Annie our chocolate Labrador throughout her life. We sadly lost her aged 11 just over a week ago. As a family we were and remain heartbroken. But the staff here made sure Annie’s passing was pain-free and as natural as it could be. The vet joined us, on her knees so that we or Annie didn’t have to move. Nothing was rushed and we had as much time as we needed. When we are ready to have another beauty The Orchard will again be our chosen provider of animal care. Thank you again to you all.
