Living with a cat in London is like sharing your home with a tiny, regal flatmate who demands the best—be it meals, toys, or the comfiest spots to nap.
As cat owners, we know the joy (and occasional chaos) of caring for these whiskered companions. But the real challenge lies in finding a pet shop that caters to every need of your feline friend, from premium supplies to knowledgeable advice.
We’ve explored London’s top cat shops to help you spoil your furry overlord with the best this city has to offer.

What we love most about Pet at home is its convenient Order and Collect service. It allows you to browse and purchase items online, and then pick them up in-store at your convenience.
We were impressed by the sheer range of products—from high-quality cat food and fun toys to grooming essentials and stylish accessories.

The store itself is spacious, clean, and well-organised. It makes shopping a smooth and enjoyable experience. Coupled with free parking, it’s a convenient go-to choice for busy Londoners.
The store can sometimes feel a bit commercial, which might not appeal to those looking for a more boutique-style shopping atmosphere.
Offers everything needed for a happy cat
“I’ve been going to this pet shop ever since I got my cat, and they’ve had everything I need to make sure he’s got a happy life in my human house.
They have a great selection of cat toys, a good selection of nutritious cat food and so far I’ve had a wonderful experience with the staff that work there and they’re always helpful and on hand to give advice when needed.”

2. Pets Corner
Address: 60-61 Barnes High Street, Barnes
Phone: 020 8860 9442
Business hours:
- Mon-Sat: 9:00am – 6:00pm
- Sun: 10:00am – 5:00pm
Pets Corner is known for being a carbon-neutral pet shop, which impressed us as a cat owner who cares about the environment.
What stood out was how much thought they put into everything into every product. They offer high-quality cat food brands like Orijen and Thrive to specialised diets like grain-free and raw options.
Even their toys, grooming supplies, and bedding prioritise a cat’s health, comfort, and enrichment rather than just stocking generic pet shop items.
The staff were lovely and clearly knew a lot about pets. They gave us great advice on healthier food options for my cat, which we appreciated.
The store is clean and easy to navigate, so shopping there feels relaxed. However, they have a limited variety of raw food options, which might not be ideal for cat owners looking for more specialized diets.
Top-notch products and exceptional customer service
“I had a pleasure of visiting Pets Corner in Blackheath multiple times, and I must say, it has become my go-to shop for all my cat’s needs.
The staffs at Pets Corner are exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with any questions or concerns. Their dedication to customer service truly stands out, making every visit a positive experience.
I highly recommend Pets Corner to anyone with pets, especially cat owners. The quality of products available, combined with the outstanding service, makes it a top choice for pet supplies.”

Great variety of healthy cat foods
“Our cat is 17 years old and about a year ago, became the most finicky eater ever. Pets Corner has a wonderful healthy variety of foods that he enjoys and they are always willing to take back any unopened cans or pouches he suddenly changes his mind about. The staff are always extremely helpful and kind.”

Phone: +44 20 8883 5633

Broadway Pet Stores is a family-run business, known for its strong connection to the local community and 50 years of trusted service.

The staff are friendly and eager to help, providing excellent advice on pet care and products. They even offer a loyalty scheme for Royal Canin customers, adding extra value to your purchases.
However, delivery service is limited to nearby areas, which may not suit cat owners outside Muswell Hill.
Exceptional service and local delivery
“This is a great pet shop run by a lovely family who are very experienced in helping people look after their pets. They also deliver locally which is absolutely brilliant. They go the extra mile to help which is much appreciated, such as tonight when I’d bought the wrong cat food and they kindly redelivered what we needed. Really unusual to get service like that these days – do consider supporting this great local, family business instead of the big chain stores.”
- Miriam Rich, Google Review
A well-stocked local store
“Great local pet stores that I would highly recommend as despite the fact that it’s not one of these larger super pet stores that just seem to be opening up everywhere. This store just has so many good quality pet assecories that to be honest you would be hard pushed to find in some of the larger stores i just mentioned. Also if you have a cat such as i do there is a large variety of specialized dry cat foods available. From a kitten to an adult cat and also they cover so many dietary requirements. Also not to mention the vast amount of everything else that’s available as to me the first time i used the store it was like being in a pet store from a bygone era. As there was just so much of a variety of products in the store. And it’s very rare to see this nowadays so seriously if you have a cat or a dog or any other little furry animal or fish try this pet store for sure. As you will not be disappointed also your be doing your part to keep local businesses alive rather than just the internet based shopping that were all becoming accustomed to nowadays. Last but not least i would have given this store 10 stars but unfortunately 5 is all you are allowed on here. And i sincerely hope my little bit of input helps those of you looking for a pet shop with knowledgeable staff and a family run buisness still.”

4. Angel Pet Supplies
Address: 81 Chapel Market
Phone: +44 20 7278 1503
Business hours:
- Mon-Sun: 10:00am – 6:00pm
Angel Pet Supplies stands out for its impressive range of Natural Instinct raw frozen cat food. It’s a rare find perfect for cat owners looking for high-quality, species-appropriate nutrition.
The shop also stocks popular brands like Schesir, Canagan, and Pro-Plan, ensuring various options for different dietary needs.
The store provides thoughtful guidance on nutrition, housing, and pet care, which makes every visit worthwhile.
The shop is compact but well-stocked with food, toys, bedding, and grooming supplies for cats and other pets.
However, their focus on raw and premium products might make it less ideal for those seeking budget-friendly options.
Helpful shop for new cat owners
“I just became a cat mom first time after a long time, and had just a little knowledge about the things here in the UK. They helped me find those things that I was looking for, many options, very nice staff. Also got some cat food sample, because I was looking to change the quality that my cat had before, so they gave me that for free to try it out. I can’t recommend the shop better. Highly recommend.”
- Zsófia Szentjánosi, Google Review
Quality brands and eco-friendly pet products
“Lovely and helpful owner who stocks genuinely great brands (like Orijen and Thrive) that are hard to source elsewhere! Much better than supermarket fare. Many plastic-free products that are suitable for all pet types.”

Supreme Animal Foods is one of London’s largest independent pet shops, boasting over 6,000 product lines and decades of experience!
They have everything for cats, from food and treats to toys and bedding. They even have raw food options for those looking for something natural.
The store is well-organised with dedicated sections for pets like cats, birds, and reptiles, so it’s easy to find what you need.
The staff helped me pick the best food for my cat’s sensitive stomach, which I appreciated.
Their prices are reasonable. Plus, they have an online shopping option with secure payment options, which we found super handy.
The shop is spacious and fun to explore, though it might feel overwhelming if you’re unsure what you want.
They offer generous help and free samples
“Had a very lovely experience in this shop this evening. A great gentleman was giving us healthy food recommendations for our pet cat Valentina, as he could tell that we were struggling to choose.
Not only this, but he gifted us a lot of free samples for her! He was extremely generous and sweet.
You can tell that the owners actually care and are well informed on the products that they choose to sell.
We will continue to support this shop as often as we can. 🙂
Thanks so much.”

Expert staff
“I was given a kitten that was supposed to be a 8 week male. I went to this pet shop for some food and I was told by the gentleman there, that I had a 6 week female kitten because he weighted her and does know pets. That information was relevant to book for her vaccination at the vet. I was also advised on the best food to buy. My favourite pet shop, they really care.”
