Tomten Kennels & Cattery is a long-established animal-care site in Shenley, Hertfordshire, with a history closely linked to the local veterinary community. The website describes the property as having housed a small-animal clinic for 75 years, alongside kennel, cattery and grooming facilities. Its semi-rural setting is within reach of Radlett, St Albans, London Colney and nearby parts of north London.

The former veterinary premises are distinctive: a listed, L-shaped building adapted for clinical use. Facilities described on the website include reception and consultation rooms, an operating theatre, X-ray equipment, a preparation area with ultrasound and dental equipment, and separate recovery spaces for dogs and cats. Additional areas include offices, utility space and a grooming room.

Tomten’s site has also been used for dog and cat boarding, but the website states that the kennels and cattery have recently closed. It explains that the owner could no longer reliably maintain the experienced team needed to provide the expected standard of care. Because availability can change, anyone seeking boarding or grooming should contact the business directly rather than assume these services are currently operating.

The website presents the former veterinary surgery as a property available to lease, with on-site parking and convenient road access via routes including the M25, A1, M1 and A41. It identifies Samantha Gee as the contact for further information or arranging a visit. The building’s established clinical layout and long history may interest veterinary professionals or others considering an animal-care use; prospective tenants should confirm current availability and terms directly.
