We've already got Monkey World and Bird
World as visitor attractions - so why not Cat World?
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!
What would a World of Cats look like?
Pawprint paths
Cat Café/Restaurants
Cat themed gift shops

conferences
The story of the cat
Cats meet and greet
Big cats
The cat train!
Cat shows

…..and so much more! The list and possibilities are endless!
Any suggestions? Please get in touch and let us know!
…We could even have more than one at different locations across the UK!
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!

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

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

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

happy to hear from you!!
