Purr-sonal Spotlight: Tsuki!

"Tsuki is so sweet, I absolutely adore her! She came out right away to get some attention. The little lady did plenty of laps around her room, eager to get as many pets as she could. She took a few breaks from her cuddle time to play around, attacking her feather toy. Tsuki had an amazing time smelling it, I'm sure it was very interesting! Tsuki is doing well!" -HCH Staff Member Jo

Purr-sonal Spotlight: Flower, Pluto & Toby!

"Flower, Pluto, and Toby were so much fun to hang out with today!! They were such balls of energy! All three boys were very friendly and came up to greet me at the door. I was so excited to see flower being more adventurous, I think it’s safe to say he’s loving the room! I offered these three many pets and cuddles which they all adored, Pluto especially loved them since he laid in my lap for a while. I offered them a few different wand toys and they loved all of them! All three would excitedly race to catch it and hop in the air as well. I turned on the tv for them to watch and Flower was very eager to catch the squirrels and birds! Pluto's interest was slighting peaked but overall he preferred relaxing on his shelf while Pluto rolled around playing with a wand toy. Overall these three were so much fun to hang out with and I always love playing with these cuties!! :)" -HCH Staff Member Gloria

Where Happy Cat Fits In 🐾
Happy Cat Hotel & Spa was built to answer that need. We're not just another boarding facility or grooming salon that "also takes cats." We are:
Cat-exclusive - Every suite, every spa service, and every enrichment activity is designed around feline behavior and comfort.

🐾 Luxury-focused - Themed hotel suites, enrichment play, and premium grooming make the experience unique for both cats and their humans.

🐾 In-demand - Many of our locations have grooming waitlists and high boarding occupancy, showing just how underserved this market has been.

🐾 Proven and scalable - With multiple revenue streams (boarding, grooming, retail) and strong franchise growth, Happy Cat is proving what's possible when you focus on the needs of cats alone.

Purr-sonal Spotlight: Dog!

"Dog was tucked in her bed when I stopped by today, but she came right out to say hi when I came in. She made sure I knew she wanted all the pets. She purred the entire time I was in her room. She had a good time playing with the ribbons as well. She didn't pay much attention to the birds on the TV, but I left it in her room for her to enjoy later." -HCH Staff Member Marie

Cats make up nearly half of U.S. household pets, yet when it comes to dedicated services, they are often treated as an afterthought. Grooming franchises typically focus on dogs, with cats squeezed into the mix. Boarding facilities often treat cats as an add-on, housing them in smaller spaces away from the main (dog-focused) operation. Even retail stores and training services are largely dog-centric.

This lack of dedicated options doesn't match reality. Cat owners want, and need, specialized care for their pets. Cats have unique behaviors, health needs, and comfort preferences that are very different from dogs. And with more people living in apartments and urban areas, demand for high-quality cat boarding and grooming has never been higher.

Many small businesses struggle not because of their service, but because of visibility.

Happy Cat Franchising addresses that challenge head-on. Franchisees benefit from both national brand social media and hyper-local marketing strategies, ensuring their hotels attract attention from day one.

This isn’t a model where new owners are left to figure it out alone—marketing is built into the foundation, creating a steady flow of cat-loving customers who are already looking for premium care.

The question becomes: why go it alone when the support is already there? To learn more about how Happy Cat Franchising supports its franchisees, visit www.happycatfranchising.com

Purr-sonal Spotlight: Moo!

"He is the sweetest little orange boy!!!! I offered to let him come out into the hallway. His curiosity was willing, however he wasn't quite ready. So I sat out side for a bit them came in and finished his play time. We cuddled and he rolled all over the floor. He dipped his tail in the water, but nothing was stopping the cuddles. I gently repositioned him and we continued with the pets." -HCH Staff Member Amanda

Pet grooming is a growing industry says Grand View Research's Pet Grooming Services market analysis report.
