Websites for catteries
Web design for catteries: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Cat owners judge on stress and hygiene. Show the pens and the separation.
Cat owners are a distinct and demanding audience. They know cats find boarding stressful, and they are looking for evidence of quiet, secure, properly separated accommodation rather than a converted kennel.
The details they check are specific: sneeze barriers, individual pens, whether cats from different households can see each other, and how nervous cats are handled.
What your customers want answered
- What are the pens like and how big are they
- Are cats from different households kept properly separate
- What does it cost per night, and for two cats sharing
- What vaccinations do you require
- Can you give medication and manage an elderly cat
Show the construction, not just the catsIndividual units with their own runs, full-height partitions, sneeze barriers between pens, and how the cattery is cleaned. Cat owners research these specifics and a cattery that photographs and explains them will beat one showing only a cat on a cushion.
Not catering for elderly and medicated cats
A large share of boarding cats are old and on medication, and their owners struggle to find somewhere that will take them. Saying that you do opens a loyal and underserved market.
Show the pens and routine
Cat owners worry about stress and warmth. Show the pens, heating, outdoor runs and how cats are kept apart, with a description of feeding and the daily routine. Mention medication and special diets.
Requirements and booking
Explain the vaccinations required and how to show proof, your licence and star rating if applicable, prices per night and what to bring. Say how far ahead to book for busy times, and how drop-off and collection work.
Care for every cat
Explain how you care for cats with special needs: older cats, medication, diabetic cats or nervous cats. Say whether cats from the same home can share a pen and how you keep them calm.
Describe how you check cats daily, what happens if a cat becomes unwell and which vet you use. Drop-off and collection times, what to bring and how to book for peak times should be clear.
Common questions
- What should a cattery website include?
- Photos of pens and runs, heating, routine, diets and medication, vaccination requirements, licence, prices and booking.
- Should I show my licence?
- Yes. Catteries must be licensed by the local council, and showing it, with any star rating, reassures owners leaving their cat with you.
- Do owners want updates while away?
- Many do. Say if you send them.
