Η προσέγγιση του Tripadvisor στις κριτικές
Πριν από τη δημοσίευση, κάθε κριτική στο Tripadvisor περνά από ένα αυτοματοποιημένο σύστημα παρακολούθησης, το οποίο συλλέγει πληροφορίες, απαντώντας στις ακόλουθες ερωτήσεις: πώς, τι, πού και πότε. Εάν το σύστημα ανιχνεύσει κάτι που πιθανώς αντιβαίνει στις οδηγίες της κοινότητάς μας, η κριτική δεν δημοσιεύεται.
Όταν το σύστημα εντοπίσει ένα πρόβλημα, μια κριτική μπορεί να απορριφθεί αυτόματα, να σταλεί στον σχολιαστή για έγκριση ή να επανεξεταστεί με μη αυτόματο τρόπο από την ομάδα ειδικών περιεχομένου μας, οι οποίοι εργάζονται αδιάλειπτα για να διατηρούν την ποιότητα των κριτικών στον ιστότοπό μας.
Η ομάδα μας ελέγχει κάθε κριτική που δημοσιεύεται στον ιστότοπο και τίθεται υπό αμφισβήτηση από την κοινότητά μας αν δεν πληροί τις οδηγίες της κοινότητάς μας.

I attended a Jessops Academy photo shoot at the Cat Survival Trust this week, and it was an amazing experience. The Trust is not open to the public, but admits members and participants in pre-booked tours only, such as the photographic tours organised by the Jessops Academy. The site has an air of intentional untidiness about it, partly due to ongoing building work. The animals are in relatively small enclosures, and during the day we got right up to the wired fences without any secondary barriers which you find at public zoos. The Jessops guide, Pete, was excellent and gave really helpful tips for professional as well as amateur photographers.
There was one rather worrying feature. In a presentation, the Trust founder, a homeopathic practitioner, gave some really interesting background to the creative and valuable environmental work of the Cat Survival Trust. But he then appeared to endorse a theory that it is not the fossil fuel and carbon which is the main issue of climate change, but the polar drift! I may have misunderstood him. But then, on top of the pile of nature books he pointed to, there was a book denouncing the Covid-19 vaccine, which made me wonder what the scientific view was. Sadly, my suspicion was confirmed when reading their latest newsletter, claiming that COVID-19 was a scam - it was just the annual flu!
But from a photo shoot point of view, this was a wonderful and unique experience.

Read somewhere that the sanctuary was behind the farm shop so upon arrival saw the farm shop and proceeded to walk a little around the side of this building. Hadn’t seen the signage for the cat sanctuary entrance because it was hidden by rubbish and faded - the entrance was in fact just a door just to the right. Owner or volunteer (I’m not sure) started shouting over asking where we were going so we walked back and explained we were trying to find the entrance. He ended up rather aggressively giving my partner and I a lecture; health and safety, trespassing, “how would you like it if someone walked in your garden”. There was no signage, no gates to restrict access etc. Calmly apologised only for him to continue. Clearly having a bad day and wasn’t worth the argument but it’s not acceptable behaviour. Looked run down and dirty with rubbish everywhere and that’s without even going in. We were told “it’s not a zoo” and we “need to book” but we couldn’t navigate the website to do this. Mainly there to make a donation for the cats so it’s a shame that he met us with such a negative attitude. Would not recommend and would rather support somewhere else.

great collection of wild cats plus a few other animals, well informed talk by knowledgeable volunteer taking you round the site that is hidden behind a farm shop. The site is looked after just by volunteers and the owner, a non profit organisation which also does fantastic work for local and overseas wildlife. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

We took a group of 7-11 year old boys here recently. They, and we loved it. I had no idea so many beautiful wild creatures lived so near to us! Interesting tour and able to get very close to see the animals.

I found it amazing that Mr Moore, the founder, has also brought many acres of vigin forrest in Argentina to not only help animals here in the UK but also over seas!
Nearly of the donations made go towards saving to buy more and better equipt the Argentine workers over there, which only 10% is open for tours! 90% of that forrest is held just for native species to thrive!
(Not just cats!)
Every single one of the workers that work at the Trust are Volunteers!
After reading all these bad reviews I went to make my own opinion and get the facts. The cats are fed on a range of meats, from whole deers, giat slabs of beef/pork, chicks, rabbits, chickens and more...!
The animals there are all healthy and look in great shape, some of the enclosures for the smaller cats look small from the out side but that is only because the inside enclosure is big as the cats are never made to go outside just because members are looking around... The enclosures are kitted out for each cat species individually, some outside enclosures are full of bamboo, but that is because this is a sanctuary, NOT A ZOO!
It is there to save these animals that otherwise would have been euthanized because they had no monetary value for zoos!!!
New enclosures are waiting to be built, (they are half completed!) but as you can expect the volunteers time is taken with caring and enriching the cats!
Because this is NOT A ZOO, some of the cats do not like large groups gawping at them and can look nervous when you approach if they are outside! (WOULDN'T YOU!)
PERSONALLY I THINK OVERALL THE WORK DONE HERE AT THE CAT SURVIVAL TRUST IS OUTSTANDING!
I am going to start volunteering (seriously, long term!) to help these fantastic creatures and expand the site further... I just want to thank all the staff for the great work they do and allowing me to have a amazing day out and really appreciate all these creatures have been through!
Remember these cats, lemurs and raccon dogs have been cruelly taken from the wild and brought to a place they do not know! You could look like that poacher and unnerve them!!

If you love cats of all types, this place is for you. The cats are really cool to visit and take pictures of. The sounds and the movement they make is amazing and you feel like you are in the wild. As well as having beautiful cats, there is a farm shop, normal cats and horses that are very friendly. Finnnaly, this place is totally run by willing volunteers that are very helpful and take good care of them. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

We visited the Cat Survival Trust in June and had a wonderful time exploring the complex via a guided tour. The sanctuary has a number of species ranging from snow leopards to mountain lions. The cats were extremely heathy and seemed content in their enclosures, unlike the pacing animals one might see at the zoo. The activity lasts just under two hours and is highly recommended for anyone who has an interest in cats or is local and like me, didn’t even know this place existed.

I understand that this place relies on donations but I came away feeling that there must be better places for doing this kind of work.
As described by others the place is very ramshackle, the visitors room is very cluttered with a distinct mustiness in the air. The toilet facilities are disgusting, sorely in need of even a basic clean.
The cats themselves seem very well cared for, the volunteer staff I met were totally dedicated to the welfare of the cats. There was excellent interaction between volunteers and some of the cats.
Someone has mentioned that the cats were fed on dog food and eggs. This is not so, there was evidence of a wide variety food available, from fresh horse meat to dead chicks. Other meat is available according to supply.
I felt that the cat enclosures were far too restrictive compared with other enclosures I have seen in similar places I have visited and there was evidence of stress in some of the animals.
I know that many of these cats are severely endangered in the wild and the aims of the Trust are laudable but I feel that that the best interests of the cats here are not being bperest served.
The volunteer staff I met were friendly and highly dedicated, I wish I could say the same of the honorary Director. As part of his afternoon talk about the Trust he lectured us on his views on religion and climate change. I would like to have challenged him on the science behind his views but was constrained to do so as I was part of a group. I know that some of the group were uncomfortable with his views.

Lovely people who dedicate their time & love to these magnificent animals, all the animals are in great health & shape. The enclosures need to be larger, but I think this of all animals in captivity. Seriously need more builders to volunteer their skill for this worthy cause please!

Awesome place for photos, but be aware that the volunteers focus and money is spent on the cats and their facilities not on the rest of the site.

Most of the cats have been taken from private collectors, they won't allow anyone to buy them, this is a sanctuary for them to live out there days in peace away from the immoral humans that scare them and do not appreciate the pain the have gone through, they should still be in the wild of course, however, I found out they are only there because they are now to tame to care for themselves in the wild.

Train from Kings X to Welwyn Garden City then a bus to Welwyn Church. It a half mile walk from there. If you want me to take you down, then train to Welwyn North and I can pick you up.

I love cats in all shapes and forms (at least furry ones). If i'd like to visit, I understand I need to be a member. Can I become a member at the door, or must this be sorted out prior to a visit?

Hi, there are a number of ways to visit. If you want them to show you the cats (you must be escorted) then it is best to phone them to arrange it first.
You can contact me and I can take you to visit, although I do not know all about the cats, I can escort you.
Either way you can become a member at the door.

catsurvivaltrust with triple w in front and org behind will give you a web link which tells you all about the Trust and gives contact details. It is on the B656 just outside Welwyn on the way to Codicote. When you see the Farm Shop (with a dropped F) on your left, that is where it is. The "owner" Dr Terry Moore is a very friendly and approachable chap.
