If you love cats and have ever dreamed of turning that passion into a livelihood, this is a rare and genuinely special opportunity. Cats @ Ratcliffe is a five-star licensed cattery that has been quietly building an outstanding reputation in Eastwood, Nottingham since 2015. Run with real dedication by its founder - a former NHS Community Matron who built the business she wished had existed for her own cats - it now has forward bookings stretching to Christmas 2026, a 90% repeat clientele and a 100% recommendation rate on Facebook from 87 reviews. The hard work of building the reputation has been done. A new owner simply steps in and continues it.
The cattery itself is purpose-built to an exceptional standard, constructed by specialist company Peticular Pens in quadruple-glazed, individually thermostatically controlled uPVC suites. There are seven suites in total, licensed for up to 18 cats, and the facility is inspected and rated five stars by Broxtowe Borough Council under DEFRA regulations. One of the real differentiators of this business is the willingness to administer medication and provide specialist care at no extra charge, which has created a deeply loyal client base of owners whose cats have specific needs and who simply would not trust anyone else with them.
The freehold property is a detached three double-bedroom bungalow and is included in the asking price, valued at £316,000. There is no rent to pay, no landlord to answer to and no business rates liability under the Small Business Rates Relief scheme. This is a genuinely self-contained lifestyle business - home and income in one place, doing something that matters, with animals you will love caring for.
