We’re incredibly proud to share that Alex, The Cat Butler Bournemouth franchisee, was recently featured on the Melancholy Coaching podcast (Season 4, Episode 3).In this episode, Alex talks about her journey into professional cat care, what inspired her to take the leap, the influences that shaped her decision, and what it is really like to run her own business.

Melancholy Coaching Podcast Season 4 Episode 3 featuring Alex from The Cat Butler Bournemouth

The opportunity came through a Women’s Networking Group in Bournemouth, where Alex met Fran from Melancholy Coaching. A conversation about coaching, something completely new to Alex, soon turned into an invitation to record an episode.

Although she is perfectly comfortable behind the camera, capturing the cats she cares for, stepping in front of it was definitely outside her comfort zone. But once the recording started, she found herself genuinely enjoying the experience, even if she is not planning to launch her own podcast any time soon.

The episode gives a lovely insight into Alex’s personality, her values, and the passion she brings to her Bournemouth territory every day.

We love seeing our franchisees share their stories and step into new opportunities. It is a reminder that every Cat Butler business is built on courage, care and commitment.

Well done Alex, we are very proud.

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.
