JESS Montagne could never have predicted the effect the coronavirus pandemic would have on her family’s cat-boarding business.
“I know it sounds naive, but we’d been in business successfully for more than 20 years and I never thought a time would come where people wouldn’t be able to travel,” says the director of Curtin Cat Care.
“Our industry relies on it, yet pet boarding isn’t considered to be a part of the travel industry.”
