Built by an operator

Twelve years in a cattery. Built the tool I wished I had.

pets
Still running the cattery.
Every feature shipped here is used at 6am the next morning.

Kennel software treats cats like small dogs. Spreadsheets forget. Group chats get noisy. Nothing spoke cat.

So CatteryStay is the operator tool built in the gaps between feeds — by someone who still does the feeds. It does the admin so you can do the cats.

— from the quiet end of the corridor.

Why CatteryStay

Tools that know what cat people actually do.

Kennel software treats cats like small dogs. We built this the other way around — around cats, their owners, and the quiet ritual of boarding them.

One photo becomes a love letter home in 30 seconds.

Snap a pic on your phone. We write the day's update in the parent's voice, in their language. They cry a little. They rebook.

Mimi · Day 3 of 5
“Mimi found the best sunbeam today — the one by the reading chair. She curled up for almost two hours. Ate her full dinner at 5:30 (chicken + gravy). She's still a bit shy around Doudu but watching him with curiosity.”

calendar_month

Booking calendar that knows about suites

Not just a date grid — it tracks single-cat vs. large shared units, adjacent rooms for household pairs, and quarantine turnover. Drag to rebook. Suggests consolidation.

medication

Meds that check themselves

Insulin at 8am, Metacam at 2pm. Your team taps ✓. Parents see a compliance log.

translate

Bilingual by default

Parent writes in Mandarin, your team reads English. Updates go out in both.

Invoices by household

Two cats, one owner, one invoice. Stripe, Venmo, or cash — tracked the same.

How it works

From booking request to thank-you text. Three steps.

Zero learning curve. Your first update goes out before the kettle finishes boiling.

01
photo_camera

Snap one photo.

The cat, the sunbeam, the food bowl. That’s all we need. Take it on your phone, drop it in the app.

02

We write it up.

One paragraph about today. In the parent’s language. In a voice they already trust — calm, warm, specific.

03
mark_email_read

Parent smiles.

Delivered by magic link. They tap, they see their cat, they relax. You get rebooked for Christmas.

I used to do 90 minutes of admin after closing. Now I close the gate, send the day's updates in eight taps, and actually eat dinner at a normal hour. My wife thinks I've been replaced.

FAQ

Still curious?

Everything we get asked before signing up. If yours isn't here, we actually reply within a couple hours.

Email usarrow_forward
Is this really only for cat boarding?add

Yes. We thought about supporting dog boarding, kennel software, grooming — and then we talked to 50 cattery owners and realized cats are a completely different problem. Single-cat suites, stress-sensitive routines, household pairs, shy newcomers. Everything in CatteryStay is built for that.

What does “AI update” actually mean? Is it weird AI-slop?add

No. You pick a cat, snap a photo, and tap three emojis (napping / ate well / zoomies). We draft the update in a calm, specific voice and let you tweak it before sending. It sounds like you wrote it on a good day — not like ChatGPT.

Do parents need to install anything?add

Nothing. Each booking gets a private link. Tap it, see photos + updates. That’s the whole UX. 97% of parents open the first link within 30 minutes.

Can I import my existing bookings?add

Yes. CSV, Google Sheets, or forward your email confirmations and we’ll do it for you during onboarding. Usually takes 20 minutes.

What about payments?add

Stripe is wired in. You can also mark bookings paid via cash, Venmo, bank transfer — whatever you use today. Household invoicing collapses multi-cat bookings into one bill.
