Cattery software without the monthly bill.
Sable is built beside a working cattery. Paid in full at booking, pre-arrival check-in, vaccination records per cat, and payments that reconcile to the penny — for £0 in fees to your business, ever. No monthly fee, no per-booking fee, and a quiet month costs you nothing, which matters when you run a cattery. The whole of the admin in one system, shaped around how your cattery runs — because no two are alike. It brings cat owners to your door too — the marketplace's job, without the 15–20% commission marketplaces charge. We built it to be the best cattery software in Britain, and we're happy to be held to that.
Yes, the founders scoop litter trays too.Built for how catteries actually run.
One profile per cat
Flu and enteritis jabs, diet, meds, vet, quirks — captured once, attached to every booking. Licence records handled in passing.
Households stay together
Families book their cats together and amend together. Two cats, one booking, one payment.
Up-front payment stops no-shows
Every booking is paid in full when it's requested, with refunds run by your own cancellation policy — so a reserved pen is a paid pen.
Pre-arrival check-in
Owners confirm they're still coming and pick a drop-off slot before arrival. Your morning list is real, not hopeful.
Money that reconciles
Every payment lands on a ledger that matches your bank account to the penny — full names, real dates, clickable rows.
Quiet season costs £0
No monthly fee, no per-booking fee — your business is never billed anything. Sable is paid by the customer as part of the booking, so it only earns when your pens fill.
Asked by cattery owners, answered straight.
What is the best booking software for a cattery in the UK?
For most catteries, the deciding factors are cost in the quiet season, up-front payment to stop no-shows, and vaccination record keeping. Sable handles all three and bills your business nothing — no monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-booking fee — so a quiet month costs £0. It is built beside a working cattery in Scotland.
Why do monthly fees hurt catteries more than kennels?
Catteries are usually smaller businesses with sharper seasonal swings. A monthly software bill is a much bigger slice of a cattery's takings — and it's charged in full through the quiet months. Sable bills your business nothing: you receive your price for the dates in full — your rate card, lifted for demand and never below it — and the customer's all-in price carries Sable's booking-service charge to the customer. Busy or quiet, your software bill is £0.
Does Sable track cat vaccinations?
Yes. Every cat has one profile holding flu and enteritis vaccination records, diet, vet details, medication and quirks — captured once, attached to every booking, and easy to show for licence conditions.
Can families book multiple cats together?
Yes. Households book together and amend together — two cats from the same family stay linked through booking, check-in and payment.
Do I have to set it up myself?
No. We come to your cattery, set up your pens, rates and cancellation policy, and migrate your existing client and cat records. Free, usually about half an hour.
