Wychwood Kennels & Cattery in short

Wychwood Kennels and Cattery is a family-run kennels and cattery on Kinnersley Drive in Lilleshall, established in 1978 with repeat bookings and vet referrals behind it on its own account. Dogs, cats and smaller pets are all catered for on the site between Telford and Newport. A directory listing records licensing by the borough council, though the business website itself states none.

Customers rate Wychwood at 4.4 from 50 Google reviews, a middling base with no second source on record, and this review reads that as respectable rather than standout. What counts against it is evidence: the openable website pages publish no prices and no licence statement, and no insurance detail appears anywhere checked, so it sits outside the ranked list.

Questions about Wychwood Kennels & Cattery

Is Wychwood Kennels and Cattery any good?

It is a long-running family boarder dating to 1978 for dogs, cats and smaller pets, with 4.4 on Google from 50 reviews. But it sits outside our ranked list on missing licence and price evidence. Read the Google reviews, then ask the business for its licence statement and current prices.

Is Wychwood licensed by the council?

That cannot be sourced from the business's own website, whose openable pages carry no licence statement. A directory listing records licensing by the borough council, but a directory claim does not meet our check. Ask the business for its licence number and issuing council. That evidence would put it in the next ranked round.

What does Wychwood charge for cats?

The website pages that could be opened publish no prices, rates or fee statements, so there is nothing current to quote. Ask the business for the daily cat rate, sharing terms, extras and cancellation terms in writing. Get the whole stay priced on your exact dates before you agree anything.

Where does Wychwood work?

The kennels and cattery sit on Kinnersley Drive in Lilleshall, between Telford and Newport, serving both towns. Boarding for dogs, cats and smaller pets happens on site. Send your postcode with your dates to confirm a place. Ask about viewing and collection times.

How is Wychwood ranked?

It is not in the ranked three: the licence statement we require is missing from its own website, so it sits in our researched-but-not-assessed group. Decades of trading alone do not place it. Read the full review, then ask for the licence evidence for the next round.
