Pets Corner

Pets Corner was shut down by the Camden Council health and safety department because they were keeping animals in the basement, in cages kept in the darkness to breed them and sell the kittens and bunnies. So much for lovely pets on display. When the owners left the premises they left the animals caged in the basement and they were found most dead, some dying by the people who entered next. Their service was abysmal and their manners just very bad, as it can be expected by animal abusers and profiteers.

If your kids want a pet and you are prone to a case of the «Aaaahhh that’s SOOO cute,» you must stay away from the Pets Corner at all costs.
Pets Corner is a small unassuming pet store on the corner of Queens Crescent and Malden Road in Kentish Town. The collection of animals revolves around fish, budgies, very funky looking horned lizards, kittens and other little furry animals. It has all the usual bits and pieces you need to care for your pet, and the family run feel makes it a comfortable, helpful environment.
The kittens are the biggest draw in this store. Even as dog lover I must confess they are really cute. It is £90 for a black and white and £150 for a ginger kitten.
My girlfriend has been bugging me for a kitten ever since I took her here. You’ve been warned!

Pet’s Corner is suitably named as it’s situated on a corner of a road, tucked away on a back street in Camden which is why I think it deserves a mention as it could easily be missed. It looks fairly small from the outside but they have utilised the space inside well. A lot of pet shops these days do not hold live pets and just stock animal products. This is of course more from a welfare point of view and convenience but it is clear to see that the staff of this shop truly care about the livestock in their temporary care and have a genuine interest, rather than just trying to make some easy cash. They mainly hold animals such as rats, mice, hamsters and I have bought rats from there several times. The staff are informative and make sure you know how to look after the potential new member of your family properly. The good thing about this place is that they also sell items such as live crickets, not as pets (although I guess you could) but to cater for your hungry pet reptiles. This is a real bonus as a lot of pet shops don’t cater for this. A classic little gem and extremely useful pet shop.
