Find out if starting a boarding cattery
is right for you and how to get the ball rolling today.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dear Cat Lover Do you dream of running your own cattery , and completely changing your lifestyle and career to work with cats? You’re thinking about starting a boarding cattery – but you just don’t know where to start or who to ask – or even what you should find out about. Sound familiar? You're absolutely right - it IS very, very confusing when you don’t know where to even start looking!!! Even today, with so much information on the internet - there is very little specialist information available on starting a cattery – and certainly nothing in the depth of advice you’re looking for right now. You just want to get into learning about it – but first you need to find out if it's right for you (which is very exciting!) and where you should start. Because I help people set up catteries all the time, I know all the questions you're burning to ask to take your first steps: |
 |
|
|
I've created a special online 'Kit' to help you find out! I'll tell you all about the 'Starting a Cattery Kit' a little later... but let me first explain who I am, and what we do to help you start up your own cattery or cat hotel...
|
How can you help me? If you haven't heard of us at Cattery Design yet, let me introduce myself to you, I'm David Key. I'm author of the best-selling book: Cattery Design and also Kennel Design (you can find these books in every Amazon online store worldwide, every well-known internet bookshop, and of course, on our websites). The Cattery Design book
looks at very different issues to this online Kit. Later, you'll see several of our customer comments where we've helped them make, (and feel confident about) their decision. Only after they've made up their mind do they then buy my book to help them design their cattery - but initially, our customers want the comfort of being walked through the 1st stage with help.

It is all this knowledge I want to share with you so together we can improve cattery standards I use my knowledge and experience to help people create MUCH better facilities for our beautiful cat friends... to reduce their stress, have a much happier time in the cattery, or get adopted sooner. If you would like to read more about me now, please click here - otherwise we will continue looking at getting you started... |
Is a cattery right for you? Well, it is a BIG decision for anyone – everyone! To change your lifestyle, your career and maybe your home, start your own business, build a special cattery building. Exciting - but a big decision! This is probably the biggest change and investment you will ever make - so you need to be confident , and you need help making the right decision. This can’t be ‘decided’ on with a day of help or a few emails or phone calls! Also - few people would even attempt to try and help you make up your mind or think about guiding you through such life-altering and financial decisions. They wouldn't know where to start! But we do. It is the same whether you ask someone you know who runs a cattery, trade associations or animal welfare organisations – they only have so much time to give you as they are busy running their own business, and can only fit so much in an email or phone call. And it is exactly the same for us - we can only help a limited number of people because there are only so many hours in the day. We spent hours and hours responding to the same queries over
and over again... probably the same questions you're desperately
trying to find out about now. So... we created the 'Starting A Cattery Kit' with all the things you want to know about starting a cattery! But we didn't stop there - the kit also includes the information to help you decide and how to feel confident it's right for you - and where you should start!
|
Frustration of not knowing where to start:
If you’re feeling like this, we understand exactly the frustration you are going through right now. We've received hundreds of requests for help and advice on how to start a cattery. The same is true of any business, but particularly a boarding cattery where you are caring for, and responsible for the cats and kittens in your care. You need to make sure you get the BEST
ADVICE to start off with To create a cattery, you know there must be a set path to follow, and things you must do -- but at the moment you are probably struggling to know where to begin.
The fact is --- the hardest part of thinking about starting a boarding cattery is the frustration of not knowing where to start! ... and we want to save you from that! So you’re not alone – and it's not just you - it IS hard to know where to start for the first time!!! In the past, everyone who started a cattery had to go through this painful process. But not any more! - you don't have to tear your hair out wondering about it all - we can help you get all the answers you need, find out who to talk to about different things like licensing and legislation - plus all the other important things you need to know right now.
So why has it been so hard to find out about starting up a new cattery business? I'm sure you've asked yourself why is it so hard? Let's stop for a moment and think about this. Well, the answer is that once people open their own boarding cattery business they become very busy with customers and bookings and forms and advertising and their website, and so on. This means that no-one has the time to help anyone else through the process – and maybe they reason that if they managed it without help, so can others. Most importantly, are they willing to help someone who is a potential competitor? Some catteries set up day courses costing a few hundred pounds, dollars or euros) so you can go and work with them for a day and ‘try the hat on’, ask a few questions and find out how that particular cattery runs. This can of course, be very valuable experience... but you should be aware that what they teach may NOT be best practice! The truth is that existing catteries or related organisations simply CANNOT give you the sheer amount of time, hand-holding and advice you need in the depth that you require to help you decide if it's right for you.
Why WE want to help you get it right: What you need is someone willing to take the time to provide you with the extra advice --- and we're VERY happy to do that. Here's why - we believe that encouraging and supporting the right people to start catteries is essential for 3 reasons:
|
|||
 |
Ah, so who are the right people to start catteries? Good question! They are caring people who are willing to invest enough time and knowledge into their business to create the best cattery they can - deserve to have success, and, we believe - to have the support and encouragement to get started. So now you know WHY we want to help you get started! |

Nic & Amanda Lovett www.meremoggies.com 28th January 2008 |
Start the right kind of cattery All the questions that are running through your mind right now will probably be based on 3 things:
And all this is going through your mind before you even start thinking about the building, design and care! That's why we LOVE what we do here, we get to speak to lovely caring people like Jill and help you start up your dream, completely transform your lifestyle, and help you make an INCREDIBLE difference to cats and their owners. Even better, we are there through your journey and can help you every step of the way. I can tell you it’s absolutely exhilarating when you get your building or licensing permission, your very first booking, and of course when you open your cattery doors to customers for the first time!!! And when you look back at your first year in business it is so much more satisfying to see that you’ve done in your 1st year what old standards say should be done in your 3rd year! But to do all this you need the right information at the beginning... .. and you need to be doing it for the I don't want you to waste your time or money, so... unless you want to 'do it properly' and 'the best you can' - I can't help you. The magic formula of satisfaction, pride and success only works for those who want to do it well! Doing things 'on the cheap' or 'without proper research' is NOT how to be successful!!! You won't realise your full potential (personal and financial), and customers will see this lack of interest and investment of emotion, time and money. Catteries run like this will only be busy at peak times and charge the lower end of the scale, and have to spend more money on more and more units to make a basic income. You'll attract 'price-complainers' who just search for the cheapest cattery and still complain even then! They'll be the sort of people who will turn up without notice (early or late), give you a hard time on the phone/in person, be tough or even miserable to deal with - does this sound like fun to you? This is a downward spiral - unfair to cats and owners - and the family - so look for something that will excite you to strive for the best and be successful. If you don't care enough about your business to invest and research it properly - why should your customers? There are already enough catteries like this around (and many going out of business thankfully). If the above put you off, then I have
done my job!!!
 
The above 'differences' will apply in every country - the standard worldwide is poor, probably one of the reasons why you want to create a better cattery yourself! Cat owners are desperate to find somewhere of high quality to entrust their cats to. Either that, or they just don't take a holiday! Yes, there are people who don't care where their cats
stay, or aren't bothered by poor conditions - or send their husband
to take the cat as they can't bear to see where s/he
will be staying - but there are already plenty of catteries
to cater for that type of customer.
To be successful and create a cattery to be proud of... You have to be genuinely interested, dedicated, even passionate about learning as much as you can on cat welfare, cattery standards, and have the imagination and care enough to do something better, or even extraordinary - providing such a fantastic service that customers will do your marketing for you and recommend you to all their friends! This is just the sort of person I can, and want to help! |
||
If you 'want to do it right' (thankfully a phrase I hear often!) you will be so much more successful, happy, and financially better off. You'll be able to charge higher fees that match your higher standards, so you can build less units and spend more time with the cats you are looking after. It's a job in a million!!! Can you see how much more enjoyable and fun it will be to work this way? You'll be successful - and you WILL make a better income! There just aren't enough catteries like this. I can tell you customers go in droves when they find such an inspiring, professional and caring cattery! |

So, if like Jill you “could do with some advice really” I’m sure you’ll be interested to know what happened to her next... Well, with our help she became confident that starting a boarding cattery was right for her, and got the book to help her start her cattery. Her initial ‘not a clue’ email was quickly followed up with another, in which she told me she is “really getting into it now” and had “lots of ideas” about the kind of business she wants to run – and then she starts to ask about a business plan and the next stages!!! But you're not at that stage yet - you need to walk through all the startup questions, and find out if it really is perfect for you by doing your research. Your 'Starting a Cattery Kit'
will take you through where to start -- (the excitement is palpable from Jill's words don’t you think?!) You too will have the thrill of getting going, having a plan of action, and knowing exactly what kind of business you want to run, and how to take those first important steps, and be in charge of your own cattery business and lifestyle. And then the questions start... but at a more specific level and with much more confidence and a real sense of purpose. All you need to know is where to start! This Kit will give you the guidance you need at this stage in your dream – it’s easy to read and understand – and you’ll have FUN learning more about yourself and what you want to achieve.
