My Three Cats, the Warrington-based, multi-award-winning cat-sitting service, has launched its first franchise territory in Blackpool, reflecting growing demand for specialist, in-home feline care across the UK.
The Blackpool franchise will be operated by Rachel Wrigley, alongside her husband Adam and son Sam, providing feline-first care across Blackpool and the Fylde coast.
Founded in Warrington in 2017 by Wendy Thomson Melling, and now operated alongside daughter Eloise, My Three Cats has grown into an 18-strong team and is expanding through franchising to meet increasing demand for at-home cat care.
Since the launch of its franchise model in September 2025, My Three Cats has received strong interest from cat lovers across multiple segments. This response highlights not only sustained demand for specialist feline care, but also a growing appetite for flexible, purpose-led careers within the pet services sector.
2025 has marked a significant year for My Three Cats, with multiple industry recognitions, alongside a BBC podcast appearance and a speaking slot at Cat Show Live, helping to raise wider awareness of the need for feline-first services through its Cats Deserve More campaign.
Founder Wendy Thomson Melling said the expansion reflects a shift in owner expectations. “There are an estimated 12 million cats living in the UK, yet many pet services remain primarily dog-focused. More cat owners are actively seeking in-home care that reduces stress and respects feline behaviour. Our franchise model allows experienced, passionate people to deliver that care locally, while building a meaningful business of their own.”
Rachel brings extensive feline experience to the Blackpool territory, sharing her home with seven cats and operating within a household familiar with a wide range of feline needs. Her local knowledge, alongside a background in cat ownership, adoption and fostering, were key factors in the franchise agreement.
