Meet The Team
Almora Cattery is owned and run by Darryl Davies and Jenny Heeley. In our previous careers, Darryl was a research scientist before becoming a chemistry teacher, while Jenny was an early years and special needs teacher. We spent over 20 years teaching in international schools in various countries including Ecuador, Sudan and China. We wanted a change of lifestyle and we both love cats - we travelled with our two cats, Stella and Artois, who we rescued in Egypt when they were very young - so we took our Cattery and Kennel Management qualifications and here we are!
The newest member of Team Almora is Chloe, who joined us in November 2023. She came to us when her owner unfortunately could no longer take care of her. Chloe is a black and white domestic long hair who loves the outside so you will see her in the garden and around the cattery.
Chloe
Chloe joined us in November 2023 when her owner was unfortunately not able to take care of her any more. She loves to roam around the garden, so you may see her around and about!
Arty
Arty was a beautiful ginger female who we rescued from the street when she was about a month old. She loved being outside in the garden and chasing sticks. For a big cat, she was very nimble on her feet and once caught a humming bird!
Stella
Stella was only about a day old when we first saw her. We had to feed her specially-made solution with a pipette and put her in a box next to a bottle of warm water for her to sleep. She loved sleeping on knees, chasing her giraffe and waking us up early!
