The Qualco Story

Qualco Kennels & Cattery began in 1964, when Les and June settled into Qualco Cottage, a small home tucked away in the quiet countryside outside Ormskirk. They shared a simple, wholehearted love of animals the sort of affection shown in the everyday moments: early morning feeds, late evening checks, and the instinct to care for every dog and cat as if they were part of the family.

What began as a modest idea soon grew into a way of life. While raising their two children, the kennels and cattery expanded alongside them, shaped by steady routines, hard work, and the trust of local families who kept coming back year after year. Qualco became more than a business. It became a familiar, dependable part of the community, known for its kindness, honesty and genuine care.

Today, Selena, one of Les and June’s children, continues the legacy. She grew up among the animals her parents looked after, learning the rhythm of the place long before she ever took charge. Under her guidance, Qualco remains exactly what it was always meant to be: a family run haven built on experience, warmth and the belief that pets deserve a calm, comforting home while their owners are away.
