Founded in 1948… we are a family owned and run business based in Wilmslow, Cheshire offering boarding for cats, dogs and small animals, dog grooming and onsite pet shop. We also have an online shop containing a carefully selected range of high-quality pet foods. This provides you with the convenience of ordering online and we’ll deliver to your doorstep’
Our Founder, Jess Millett (or Grandma as she was affectionately known to all staff), instilled a simple philosophy… to treat every pet as if it were our own – with care and affection. This is still our philosophy all these years later.
Over the last 50 years Newgate Kennels and Cattery have grown from one employee, the founder Jess Millett, to a workforce of over 30 employees (team photo’s coming soon).
To allow you to find out more about how Newgate has progressed over the years we have compiled a timeline of the most significant events throughout our history.
Mr Rolfe Millett (due to ill health) stepped down as manager, leaving Joel Millett in sole charge of the day to day running. New and replacement kennel blocks were built (Arley, Gawsworth and Tatton).
On October 9th, Mrs Jess Millett (founder) died at the age of 96. The Kennels and Cattery will continue to trade as a limited company.
Planning approval was finally granted (after a two year process!) for the replacement of four kennel blocks (48 kennels), two catteries (17 chalets), two staff rooms, small animal room and trimming room. Work started in October.
