"The photos are
very good and the text well thought
out and unambiguous, and
I loved the quotes! From our point
of view, it is a pity the book was not published
a year earlier!
I am sure it will become a potential cattery owners bible!
Congratulations on all your hard work."

ebook was so inspiring and knowledgeable.
I have been considering opening a cattery and this book has helped
me with so many questions and the enthusiasm to go for it."

"Back
in 2006 I came across your website and downloaded 'Creating
a successful boarding cattery'. To say
I was taken by how well written I found it, as if Kay was
talking (writing) to me personally is an understatement.
I then purchased Cattery
Design and have gone on to undertake a diploma in Kennel
Management.
This [Starting a Cattery] kit is superb
and you have helped me (us, my entire family is looking forward to the day when
we can either start from scratch or purchase and enhance
a cattery) in motivating to do this and open a facility that
I know is needed.
I am looking forward to establishing a facility that you
would be proud to come and visit and our residents the
cats, can't wait to return to.
Discussions are well in hand with financial advisers so
we can get this dream off the ground.
You have helped enormously and I thank you for your
inspiration and having taken the time to create such a wonderful
and helpful web site and range of material.
My very best regards"

Average Customer Review:
I'd have kicked myself if I had found this book AFTER building my cattery!
5 July 2007... |
By Ms. B. Dugen Cheshire, England) 
 I finally decided to stop dreaming about owning a cattery when I retire (31 year to go until then!) and take action by setting a 5 year target to be running my own cattery by the age of 34. I have scoured the internet to find as many resources as possible and to complete my initial goal of 1 years research.... but there is not a great deal out there!
I bought this book from amazon, so I was almost buying the book blind, with limited knowledge of the quality of the information it contained. £40 for a book I was not sure about.....
[NB: you can now 'search inside' the book on Amazon!]
The book arrived, and three days later I have not put it down!
It does not prescribe exactly what you should do, its not just a book of cattery blue prints (as I had imagined), it is a book that inspires you, makes to want to be a pioneer in the cat world, fills you to the brim with new ideas, makes you think laterally and creatively.
In my case it has confirmed that my initial 'big ideas' are right, I do have what it takes, and before i even picked up the book I was a pioneering cattery owner without even knowing it!
But the book has opened up avenues that I had never even thought about, and has steered me to see the bigger picture.
In a nut shell, if this book was on sale for £500, I would still buy it!
(p.s. I also signed up to their online web resource for a year [Starting a Cattery Kit] and this also was money well spent, if I could grade the website, I would also give it a 5* rating)  |

Dear Cat Lover,
Are you considering a career as a caring and professional cattery
owner? Are you having problems finding where to get
straight, unbiased answers to your questions about where to start,
or what are the best cattery designs?
Have you been to your local cattery and come out thinking
"I can
do MUCH better than that"?!
Do you want to find out what it's like to completely change your
lifestyle and income doing something you LOVE - spending your
day with cats?
Then you've come to the right place!
Over the last 20 years I've been designing animal facilities professionally,
working for one of the most well known animal rescues (as
well as helping many others).
I've also had the privilege of assisting thousands of
animal lovers worldwide to become facility owners themselves.
I use my knowledge and experience to help people create MUCH better
facilities for our cat friends... to reduce cat stress, have a much happier
time in the cattery, or get adopted sooner. (Click
here if you'd like to read more about my experience...)
Working for a big rescue for such a long time, you
can just imagine the breadth of cattery facilities, suppliers, products,
materials and level of care I've seen - from cruel to amazing.
So, in 2000 I decided to DO something
to help more people build BETTER facilities, and Kay and
I started writing our books and websites
My latest book, Cattery Design: The Essential Guide to Creating
Your Perfect Cattery is a BIG BOOK and totally unique - described
as "one of a kind book on cattery design" by the
UK’s leading feline welfare charity Cats
Protection - who wrote the Foreword to the book, as well as providing
some of its fascinating cattery case studies.
Formed in 1927, Cats Protection has grown to become the UK's leading
feline welfare charity. This wonderful charity rescues and find new
homes for around 60,000 cats and kittens EVERY year.
[Click
here] if you would like to read more about their work.
But we didn't stop there with our rescue case studies for the
Cattery Design book!
We also included the world-renowned BCSPCA, RSPCA, FAB, Blue
Cross, and the Wood
Green Animal Shelters as well as top boarding catteries and cat
hotels - all our case studies are from the UK, America and Canada.
Kay and I searched worldwide to find some of the best and most successful
boarding and rescue catteries to include as case studies, with BIG colour
photos, descriptions and insider information on what makes their catteries
so unique, successful, and financially viable.
We provide facts, statistics,
advice & design guidance with real-life examples, layouts, and 100's of
BIG colour photos - to give you masses of ideas, inspiration and motivation
to start your own cattery...
... and the encouragement & facts to become one
of the BEST and most profitable by providing a service that cat owners
are longing for.
And the truth is... that running your own cattery can be an INCREDIBLY rewarding --- and
profitable way to earn a living... if you know what you're
doing, are caring and knowledgeable about cats, and are prepared to
invest in a cat-friendly cattery that your customers adore!
It is EXTREMELY important that your heart is 100% in it. Unfortunately,
there are far too many poor quality catteries out there
that only provide a very basic service because of outdated knowledge
(or lack of it) and total disinterest in improving or investing in their
facilities, basically running them into the ground.
I realised that putting my experience and knowledge into book
form, and creating accompanying websites was the way to reach
many, many more people.
Get it RIGHT ~&~ do it BETTER !!!
But whether you have already ordered your units, begun building,
or your cattery is finished --- there is SO much wonderful
information available today that you can now read in Cattery Design:
The Essential Guide to Creating Your Perfect Cattery".
I wrote the book because I wanted to catch people BEFORE they
made expensive mistakes, show them how clever design can improve
life for cats in catteries, whether it is for a week or six months
--- and even how to improve cat welfare in the worst of conditions
or no budget.
But here is where I want to help YOU... once you find out what customers
are really looking for today - and what makes a good cattery for cat
welfare and good customer impressions - you will start to understand
how much MORE SUCCESSFUL (financially, personally and professionally)
you will be.
Kay and I want to help you every step of the way, whether you are thinking
about starting a cattery (whether boarding, rescue, quarantine, breeder
of pet), need information and advice to help you decide, whether you
are already 'going for it', or have an existing cattery.
We want to see catteries improving, not
only for the cats' welfare but also to encourage caring new owners
to build better housing and become more successful by doing it!
Start learning today what it takes to start, run, and grow a
successful cattery business and whether it is right for you!
You can read testimonials from customers (above left) who have purchased
the Cattery
Design book such as:
"I am now going to drool over your
wonderful book for many days to come. EVERYTHING
I wanted to know about is in there, fabulous!"
Don't waste any more time hunting on the web for the detailed information
you want to start your cattery
- it doesn't exist!
We spent a year and a half writing this book, pouring over 40
years of expertise into it - and I assure you, as can Cats Protection,
that it IS a one of a kind book on cattery design - in fact,
there are no others concentrating on the most fundamental part of your
cattery - the building itself!
It was written to help encourage you to
make YOUR dream cattery come true, and to motivate more of you to create
GREAT catteries!
Get your cattery off to a flying start now:
