Meow, I am Ebony Centazzo the owner and crazy cat lady of Cat Napping Suburban Retreat. I am wanting to spread the love and uniqueness that I have created at Cat Napping Suburban Retreat.

Cat Napping Suburban Retreat opened as Hoppers Crossing's (Melbourne, Australia) first indoor boarding cattery on the 27^th September 2011.

My prior career was in the travel industry for over 8 years; with no prior business experience and no pre market research I opened Cat Napping Suburban Retreat on pure determination.

The business has grown and I have clients travel from all over Melbourne for their cat's to experience the difference of Cat Napping Suburban Retreat.

I now intend to grow the business and open a second cattery ( and then maybe a third and fourth!) in a nearby suburb to keep growing the Cat Napping community.

I am looking for $25,000 in funding to help bring this plan to reality. $20,000 is required to lease the premises: the owner wants such a large bond due to the type of business. I don't have that amount of money to willingly lock away being a start up.

The remaining $5,000 would be put towards creating an awesome environment with painted walls, murals and suitable flooring. If my goal isn't reached, the funds would still go towards the second Cat Napping, if just might take a little longer to get up and running.

To give back to the feline community I am going to team up with a local cat rescue group, and have a dedicated retreat for cats and kittens looking for new homes. The amount of cats still being put down as nobody wants them is horrible.

Cat Napping is all for giving homeless cats a few weeks of being spoilt and loved, and not having to live in a sad shelter environment while waiting for their forever home.

Can't contribute, but know of cat lovers in Melbourne, Australia? Then please spread the love about Cat Napping Suburban Retreat.
