Franchisee Spotlight:Kat & Michael, Owners of Furry Land of Savannah

Building a Business, a Team, and a Legacy

When Kat and Michael joined the Furry Land family, they weren’t just looking for a business—they were building their future. With retirement in mind, they saw franchise ownership as a smart path to long-term financial stability. And with Kat’s background in franchise consulting, they knew exactly what to look for in a brand with strong potential. Furry Land checked every box.

Today, the duo has grown their Savannah-based operation to a team of five dedicated employees—a milestone they’re incredibly proud of. One of their proudest achievements so far? Finding the perfect manager and expanding their business with a second van, is a big step in their growth journey.

Their advice to new franchisees? Be persistent.

“Building a business takes time and commitment,” says Kat. That commitment has paid off through strategic local outreach, including partnerships with vets and animal shelters, and participation in beloved local events like the pet-friendly Wag O Ween.

However, for Kat and Michael, the true reward goes beyond business metrics. “The most meaningful part of this journey has been creating jobs that matter—building a team that feels more like family than coworkers.”

What’s next for Furry Land of Savannah? With their second van already on the road, they’re focused on booking it to capacity—and laying the groundwork for a third.

Kat and Michael are proving what’s possible with passion, persistence, and the right franchise brand behind you. We’re proud to spotlight their success and excited to see where their journey takes them next.
