The Cat Butler Recognized as One of the UK’s Elite 100 Franchises for the Second Consecutive Year
The Cat Butler has been named one of the UK’s Elite 100 Franchises for the second year running, a testament to the strength of its franchise model and the ongoing success of its growing network. This prestigious recognition reflects the brand’s commitment to providing exceptional in-home cat care and its dedication to supporting its franchisees and the communities they serve.
The Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100) is a respected annual league table that highlights franchise systems that are performing strongly, growing sustainably, and making a genuine impact through the support they provide to franchisees and the communities they serve. The EF100 is described by Elite Franchise as the UK’s “definitive” list of top franchise brands, with franchises assessed against eight core criteria, including size, growth, ambition, and the contribution made to franchisees and the wider community.
What is the Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100)?
The EF100 is a highly competitive ranking that is released each year and celebrated at an awards evening in London, recognizing the brands shaping the sector. The Top 100 ranking is determined by an independent panel of franchising experts, who score entries based on factors such as size, growth, ambition, and community contribution.
Two Years of Recognition: A Testament to Consistency and Momentum
Making the EF100 once is an achievement, but making it two years running tells a bigger story; it reflects consistency, momentum, and a franchise network that is developing in the right way. The Cat Butler was recognized in the EF100 for 2025, and the brand is delighted to see its name featured again in the EF100 winners list for 2026.
This recognition is not just about growth; it is about building a franchise brand the right way, with a focus on feline welfare, ethical and professional business practices, investment in training and support for franchisees, and delivery of a premium, in-home service that cat owners can rely on.
