Former NHS dentist Wendy Tench now provides premium cat-sitting with The Cat Butler Didsbury, ensuring local felines receive top-quality care in South Manchester.
Introduction
After dedicating 17 years to a career in dentistry, Wendy Tench has embarked on an exciting new chapter as the owner of The Cat Butler Didsbury. Wendy, a self-confessed cat lover, has left behind her NHS dental practice to provide a premium cat-sitting service, caring for felines in the comfort and safety of their own homes across Didsbury, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Wythenshawe, Baguley, Sale, and Cheadle.
Making the Leap from Healthcare to Cat Care
Wendy’s journey into cat sitting was inspired by her passion for animals and a desire for a change in career direction. Reflecting on her time in dentistry, Wendy shares:
“I found working in dental care rewarding, but the repercussions of the pandemic made it difficult to provide the standard of care I wanted to. I knew it was time to transfer my skills elsewhere.”
Having always been an animal lover, Wendy knew she wanted to do something that aligned with her love for pets. When she came across The Cat Butler franchise opportunity, she knew it was the perfect fit.
Finding the Purr-fect Opportunity
The decision to join The Cat Butler wasn’t taken lightly. Wendy spent time researching the franchise and was immediately drawn to its high standards and professionalism. She explains:
“When I looked at The Cat Butler website and saw the glowing 5-star reviews, I was impressed by the company’s reputation. Speaking with Sandra, the Franchisor, reassured me further – I realised that I wouldn’t be alone in running the business. The ongoing support and well-established brand made joining a no-brainer.”
Despite initial concerns about running a business, Wendy found comfort in speaking to other franchisees who had successfully made the transition. Their experiences gave her the confidence to take the plunge.
A Lifetime Love for Cats
Wendy’s love for animals started from a young age, having had various pets throughout her life. But her true passion lies with cats, especially her beloved ginger moggy, Freddie.
“Freddie has been my faithful companion for 13 years – I jokingly refer to him as my eldest son, much to the annoyance of my actual son, Ben! Knowing how much love and trust go into caring for a pet, I completely understand the responsibility that comes with cat sitting.”
Excited for the Future
As she launches The Cat Butler Didsbury, Wendy is looking forward to providing cat owners with peace of mind, knowing their fur babies are in caring, capable hands.
“I’m so excited about this new adventure – not only in running my own business but in giving cat owners the reassurance that their pets will be loved and looked after as if they were my own.”
