A rare opportunity to acquire an established, fully equipped and operating cattery business together with a beautifully renovated family home.
Chats de Champagne is a successful, fully licensed cattery in the Charente, southwest France, offered for sale as a going concern together with an attractive 204 m² four-bedroom home.
This is not simply a property with potential to start a business. The cattery is already established and operating, with an excellent reputation, an existing customer base and all the facilities needed for the new owners to continue the business.
An established business ready to take over
Chats de Champagne has been carefully developed over the years and today benefits from:
300+ existing clients
Mailing list approaching 500
100+ five-star Google Business reviews
Many loyal and returning customers
25 individual and family cat suites
21 suites with their own private outdoor space
Potential capacity of approximately 50 cats, depending on the mix of bookings
Heating in winter and air-conditioning in summer
Purpose-built, fully equipped cattery facilities
An established website and online presence
Initial handover and guidance from the present owners, if required
For someone who loves animals and is considering a new life in France, this offers the considerable advantage of taking over an existing business and clientele rather than having to create one from the beginning.
The current owners are retiring and would be pleased to help the new owners become familiar with the business during an initial handover period.
A beautiful home to go with the business
Alongside the cattery is a fully renovated 204 m² four-bedroom house, providing a comfortable home with plenty of character.
The accommodation includes an entrance hall, spacious sitting room with log burner, attractive open-plan refitted kitchen and dining area, WC, four bedrooms and contemporary shower room.
The lower level provides a heated office of approximately 23.4 m², heated laundry room of approximately 17.2 m² and two useful storage rooms.
Outside is a mature and private garden, providing an attractive setting for both the house and business.
The property benefits from DPE C, double glazing, reversible air-source heating, two log burners, mains drainage, updated certified electrical work, an insulated attic and a roof replaced approximately seven years ago.
Village life in the Charente
The property is situated in a charming Charentaise village with everyday amenities within walking distance, including bakery, supermarket, café/bar, restaurant, bank, post office, doctor, veterinary surgery and schools.
The market town of Ruffec is approximately 20 minutes away, providing further shopping and services as well as rail connections.
This combination allows the owners to enjoy a peaceful French lifestyle without being isolated — an important advantage when operating a customer-facing business.
More than a house — an established way of life
The real opportunity here is the combination:
A successful existing cattery business.
An established customer base.
Purpose-built and fully equipped facilities.
An excellent reputation.
And a beautiful renovated home alongside it.
It could particularly suit a person or couple looking for a lifestyle change in France who would like the reassurance of acquiring a business that is already operating.
House and established cattery business: €329,000 — private sale.
Serious enquiries are warmly welcomed. We are happy to have an informal initial conversation about the property, the cattery and what is involved in running Chats de Champagne.
