Introduction

Former British Gas customer service and account manager Mark Mentiply turned his love for cats into a thriving business. 18 months after buying his The Cat Butler franchise his business is booming with nearly two hundred clients and he can’t keep up with the demand for his premium cat care services in Oxford and surrounding areas in Oxfordshire.

Return of Investment

Mark made back his initial investment six months after launching The Cat Butler Oxford and has expanded his team to help deliver his premium cat care service across Oxfordshire.

Business Expansion

Mark said: "My business is doing brilliantly; well ahead of all projections. I’d put measures in place in case the business took a while to get going but it has literally exploded since I started in June 2022.

"I had no idea it was going to get this big this quickly; my partner Nicola helps me carry out some of the visits and we have employed four Cat Butlers who operate in specific areas in the county to keep up with demand and so we don't have to turn away business, especially during peak times, such as Christmas. I’ve actually had to stop advertising because I found it was bringing in too much work!" 

Buying my The Cat Butler franchise was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I don’t regret it for an instant. It has been really hard work but I expected that and I know I’m building a strong business for the future and I’m really proud of what I’ve built so far.

Owner & Founder

The Cat Butler was set up by Sandra James in recognition of the fact that a stay in a cattery can be unsettling for many cats and also their owners.
