Prins acquires the Dutch Cats Academy

By taking over the Cats Academy, or Katten Academie in Dutch, the Martin Gaus Academy in Lelystad, the Netherlands, Prins Petfoods can now offer a broad range of cat courses in the Netherlands. It all fits in the picture the Prins family philosophy which revolves around producing the best 100% natural dog and cat food and the active contribution to and promotion of animal welfare and sharing knowledge.

The Cats Academy was founded by Sonja van Leeuwen, who sought affiliation with Prins to ensure the growth of professional education, and thus a better understanding of cat behavior and guidance for cat owners, for the future.

Knowledge and understanding

The Cats Academy currently offers education, seminars and refresher courses for cat behavioral therapists and cat groomers and provides information on themes like cat-friendly houses. The Cats Academy also combines knowledge with fun through the organization of meetings and gatherings for cat lovers, such as a Cat Ladies High Tea.

Academy Quality label

The combination with the Martin Gaus Quality Label and the new learning program of the Martin Gaus Academy must ensure that the knowledge of the Cats Academy remains at a high and current level and becomes even more visible to consumers. Founder Sonja van Leeuwen will continue her work for both the Cats Academy and the Martin Gaus Academy as a teacher, mentor and student advisor.
