Cat Haven

Additionally, it operates as a pet hotel and a cat café, allowing the public to enjoy the company of cats in a cozy setting, promoting both awareness and responsible pet ownership.

Introduction

Creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a cat haven requires meticulous planning and a clear understanding of both the market and the emotional needs of the target audience. The venture will serve as a sanctuary for stray or abandoned cats, offer vet and adoption services, and feature a pet hotel and a cat-themed café open to the public. Establishing a close-knit community takes precedence, and the MVP should aim to cultivate a personable, secure, and engaging environment that resonates with the cat-loving community.
