EF100 People's Choice Award

Contribution
Community is at the heart of The Cat Butler. Our franchisees volunteer, fundraise & support local rescues, helping cats & people. From rehoming pets, donating supplies & raising money, they get involved in causes that matter. We also work with vets to raise awareness on microchipping, neutering & responsible ownership. It’s more than running a business – our network brings pride, purpose & positive change to communities across the UK, making a genuine difference every day.
Support
At The Cat Butler, support never stops. From day one, franchisees get 1:1 mentoring with our Founder & Franchise Manager, bi-weekly calls, and fast responses from HQ. A buddy system links them with experienced peers, while extra help in marketing, operations & KPIs ensures struggling franchisees bounce back. Wellbeing is also a priority, with regular resilience workshops & an open-door culture. Our tailored, always-on support means no franchisee is ever left to struggle alone.
Innovation
We never stand still – developing smarter ways to support clients & franchisees while keeping cat welfare first. Our bespoke cat-sitting app (in development) will let clients book, manage & track visits in real time, while Butlers log updates & chat securely. We’re expanding services with enrichment visits, senior cat care & “cat concierge” extras, giving clients more choice & franchisees new income. Plus, fresh marketing tools, campaigns and PR toolkits help every franchisee shine locally.
Future
The future of The Cat Butler is about growing a franchise that’s ethical, caring & community-focused. We’ll keep putting cat welfare first while giving franchisees the tools to thrive & supporting their wellbeing with stronger HQ backing. From supporting rescues & giving a voice to voiceless animals to encouraging greener choices, we’re committed to making a positive difference in every community we serve – building an ethical, trusted, sustainable brand for the long term.
