The opportunity you’re asking about most likely refers to MEOW! A Cat Sitting Company, which markets itself as the “Nation’s Premier Cats-Only Pet Sitting Franchise.”
This model is designed to capitalize on the “cat renaissance,” focusing exclusively on the estimated 49 million cat households in the U.S. that are often underserved by general pet-sitting businesses.
Core Business Model
- Niche Focus: Unlike general pet services that are often dog-centric, this is 100% feline-focused. It targets “cat parents” who prefer specialized care, knowledge of cat behavior, and a stress-free, in-home experience for their pets.
- Low Overhead: It is a home-based model. You don’t need a brick-and-mortar facility, specialized vehicles, or high-cost inventory.
- Service Style: Professional, reliable in-home visits that include daily updates, medication administration, and specialized attention tailored to a cat’s territorial nature.
