Cape pet hotel in search of next furry model

A pet hotel in Cape Town has recently launched a search for a fabulous furry feline or a pawfect doggy for its photo shoots and more.

atFrits is looking for the new ‘Kate Meows’. The hotel has been around since 2015, but has expanded its brand into even more glamorous avenues: modelling.

Owner Yanic Klue figured it was time to start something new, and launched the modelling competition on Tuesday 26 February to meet the demands of the industry, calling all cats and dogs.

If you think your pet has got what it takes to be a fabulous pet model, sign up today.

‘There’s no such thing as an ugly dog or cat,’ says Klue, ‘and brands from [pet food to pet insurance] have specific requirements.’

Successful pets will sign a contract, just like regular professionals. ‘They get a full makeover and spa treatments, and then a photoshoot with Kobus Grobler, he’s a very good photographer,’ she added.

If you’re based elsewhere in SA, don’t fear: the diverse atFrits agency clientele need dogs in different provinces, for different shoots – film, photography or commercial.

If necessary, your pets will see an animal behaviourist, who will accompany them to shoots so that they’ll be calm and comfortable.
