NEVER TRUST THEM WITH YOUR PET. My family & I have used…read moreHighcroft for many years and have found they have gone downhill big time. They way they handled the euthanasia of our cat was nothing short of shocking. I have spoken to quite a few people in the area about this and we are not the only ones to have issues. I have tried to complain and ended up with an email after a month of waiting which basically ignored the majority of my concerns. I have registered my other cats with a different practice and I would urge everyone to do the same. Highcroft vets is ONLY INTERESTED IN TAKING YOUR MONEY. YOUR PETS WELFARE WILL BE SECOND TO THEM. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. IF YOU MUST USE THEM DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING THEY SAY

Ethical and beautiful. The hike trail is amazing but if you take the bus tour a giraffe can come…read moreright up to the bus! The bus has no windows so it could probably reach its head through! If you're not up for that the hike is better. The only thing is there are a couple animals where you can't get your hopes up about seeing them... the tapirs are always hiding and so are most of the smaller cats. But that doesn't take off a star! It can actually be more fun for kids to stop for a minute and look for them! You can make it a game!!! It's a wonderful place to visit!

Port Lympne reserve is a amazing place to see animals in vast open spaces and I do highly recommend…read moreto anyone that particularly wants to see a rhino in a large open area or deer type animals but if you are expecting to see penguins, elephants, lemurs etc then this is the zoo for you. Also the zoo is so vast you cant really walk it as some areas are just for the safari truck tours. However you can easily walk to the gorilla viewing area and pass the rhino area by foot and some wild cats. You can also get to the dinosaur park easily on foot and the dinosaur park is a must to do. Ok you say its just plastic dinosaurs but they are so well done and gives you a real scale of how big a dinosaur was and there are so many dinosaurs even some I have never heard of so I highly recommend anyone to go and see these amazing plastic dinosaurs so interesting. The best I have ever seen however it might be a good idea if they could add some dinosaur noise throughout the woods via speakers. So if you want to go on a mini safari, see rhinos or deer type animals or even have a stay with a difference in a tent or tree house then I highly recommend to go along to Port Lympne.

I came across this place on my travels around various Aquatic shops before christmas. It's a little…read moregem! The prices are excellent most of the products were about internet prices. They have around 100 tanks and are expanding to marine fish in May 2011. They have great selection of most popular fish and some great unusual ones. Only real issue I had was the stock was a little low but I was told this was due to the cold/snowy weather and they didn't like ordering live stock in these conditions. They also have a good range of reptiles which are all captive bread which I find is a nice selling point. Only went for a look at the aquatics came away with a lizard.

They put up with daily check calls. The service was excellent from the cattery. On collection they looked well and groomed and happy. They were settled back home within minutes.

Veterinary care and advice is always provided and unwanted cats found homes (they rehome over 55,000 cats every year).

You will still receive the catalogue which is crammed full of enticing gifts - there's an on-line shop too). A great charity to support for all people who care about cats.
