Cats are particular — and so are their owners. Running a successful cattery means delivering a calm, clean, professionally managed experience that puts anxious owners at ease from the moment they enquire to the moment they collect their cat.
The administration side of a cattery is often underestimated. You're managing bookings across multiple suites, tracking vaccination requirements, coordinating feeding schedules for cats on special diets, and sending regular updates to owners who want to know their cat is settled.
Most small cattery operators we speak to are managing all of this with:
The result: gaps in communication, risk of double-booking over the holiday rush, and hours of admin that could be spent with the cats.
See exactly which suites are booked, which are available, and which are blocked for cleaning — all on a single calendar view. The system prevents double-booking automatically.
Track each cat's vaccination certificates and record expiry dates. Get alerts before they lapse so you never inadvertently accept an unvaccinated animal. Each country and region has its own vaccination standards — the system stores whatever requirements apply to your facility.
Capture feeding instructions, medication schedules, and special care notes against each animal profile. No more sticky notes — every team member sees the same instructions.
Booking confirmations, check-in notifications, and check-out summaries are sent automatically. You can also send daily wellbeing updates, which owners of first-time boarding cats appreciate greatly.
Generic appointment apps are built for single-session bookings. They don't handle multi-night stays, suite-level capacity, or the combination of booking management and animal records that a cattery needs. You end up bolting tools together and manually reconciling them — which creates errors and wastes time.
