Minnesota has a 5.35-9.85% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 9.85% (one of highest in US). High quality of life attracts talent. Minneapolis-St. Paul is major metro. Cold climate increases operating costs.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $636/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it billing, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most cat breeders in Bloomington mix and match Acuity Scheduling, Square, Vagaro, Wave and other monthly services. That's $636/year paying for software subscriptions. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $3,180.
Nexa lets you own your tools. Your CRM, billing, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — under one roof in a single system. One drag books a client. One drag generates an invoice. No manual re-entry. No duct-tape integrations. No per-connection charges. It's a pay once — keep more revenue right away. For cat breeders in Bloomington weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
A litter of kittens is fragile in ways puppies aren't; they chill fast and fade fast, so the rhythm of the day is the queening nest, the heating pad, and the gram scale. You weigh every kitten daily, because a kitten that isn't gaining is the first sign of trouble and you'd rather catch it at lunchtime than at midnight. You support the queen, supplement any kitten that's not nursing, and keep the nest warm and clean. The household logistics are their own challenge: an intact stud sprays and calls and has to be housed separately, and keeping a cattery clean and not smelling like an intact tom is real work. The business side is a long waitlist, you're screening buyers, taking deposits, and matching kittens to homes months before they're born sometimes. Pedigree breeders live by records: registration papers, genetic test results for the line, vaccination and deworming dates, all of it has to be accurate per kitten. As the litter grows you socialize them hard, since a well-handled kitten makes a better pet, and you start photo updates for the families waiting. It's a quieter, more delicate operation than dog breeding, but the same truth holds: the records and the careful homing are what separate a real cattery from a basement operation.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a cat breeder's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a cat breeder — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
