A new cattery business is set to open in the village of Monkton in Ayrshire, offering a unique feature of live webcams for pet owners to check in on their beloved cats. The business owners, Eric and Fiona Manson, have submitted their proposal through a planning application, designating their garden on Main Street as the location for the cattery. If given the green light, The Cottage Cattery plans to accommodate up to 20 cats in a 10-pen unit.
The cattery aims to provide high-quality boarding facilities for cat owners, including travellers to and from Prestwick Airport seeking convenient and flexible boarding options for their pets. The owners emphasized their commitment to offering top-notch care at affordable rates, contributing to the local economy.
The planned facility will be co-owned by Eric and Fiona Manson, operating from their home in Monkton. The cattery will adhere to legal standards to ensure a safe and loving environment for the boarded cats. Furthermore, they plan to incorporate modern cattery accommodation, complete with webcams for pet owners to monitor their furry friends remotely.
The planning application is currently awaiting consideration by the South Ayrshire Council, with a decision expected in early March. The proposed cattery aims to provide a personalized and high-quality experience for cat owners in the region, adding a new dimension to pet care services.
