Is this the craziest crowdfunding pitch yet?

I'm not sure! It has to be close....

It’s massive! Can we really achieve it?

I’ve no idea! BUT what I do know is that if Cat World existed I'd be one of the first to visit and if the USA can successfully fund potato salad and cat egg moulds then it has to be worth a try!

Just Imagine…Everything Cat all in one place!

Who Am I? What do I know right?

Am I just a crazy cat lady? Well yes but don't hold that against me!

I am Caroline, I've worked in Marketing (Senior Levels) for the last 15 years with 10 of them being in entertainment and venues.

Setting up my own business has always been a dream of mine but finding the right idea takes time and of course funding! 

So why cats? I am the proud mum to my furbaby Bolt. Having rescued him at twelve weeks old, he is a pivotal part of my life having just turned seven. He rules the roost and I wouldn't have it any other way! I think Cats can bring huge benefits to people’s lives and many of us know or understand little about them.

Was I always a cat fanatic? NOPE! But rescuing Bolt showed me what a brilliant best friend they make and now I'd never be without at least one in my life!

If Bolt would let me, I’d have more than one now but he is the ultimate in Spoilt Puss and would never forgive me!

Say Hi Bolt!


What do I need and where do I start?

Help me to get this idea off the ground by contributing...where am I going to start? Here are a handful of things…

1) Research Research Research!

2) Create the business plan

3) Attract/Pitch investors/sponsors

4) Review licences and the legal stuff

5) Review health and welfare issues and consult Cat experts

6) Find the property and buy it/rent it – develop it

7) Create the marketing plan

8) Keep up the momentum and keep everyone updated!

Easy right??

The Challenges

Honestly – It’s all a challenge! 

BUT we like challenges and I truly believe that this would make a great visitor attraction so we aren’t afraid to tackle each one head on.

It’s a massive task but with your help and backing I am sure we can do this.

My initial target of £100,000  will get us well on the way to getting set up. The overall project will require circa £3 million but I plan to secure this from large investors/sponsors.

Attracting the big investors is the key to getting this open and most importantly securing the property, but to get there I need the support from fellow cat enthusiasts to build the plan in the first place. 

Without this crowdfunding the idea will remain just an idea!


Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't help, thank you for reading anyway!

If you are a fellow cat lover and are behind my idea then you can still help by sharing my campaign and encouraging others to buy or contribute! The more people hear about my campaign the more likely I am to be able to get it off the ground!

Just follow the links at the bottom!

If you can support in other ways other than financially then I'm also happy to hear from you!!

Thank you and Meow!!
