Designing With a Purpose...

To Get our Shelter Cats Adopted Faster

Our design philosophy is simple – give our shelter cats more room to do the things cats like (and need) to do – play, climb, perch and watch the world go by. Research has shown that cats residing in larger enclosures that provide ample space for these activities are happier, healthier and get adopted faster.

Our new, larger kitty suites will allow adopters to learn more about the cats as they watch them play and interact with each other. Imagine being able to watch as a kitty dashes up a cat tree in hot pursuit of another furry feline, or being able to spend time in one of our multi-cat suites while petting all the residents (and probably having more than one rub against your ankles).

Each kitty suite will accommodate up to 5 cats, be equipped with a window for sunning and bird watching, and provide lots of places for cats to climb, perch, play and sleep!

It's Not Just About the Kitty Suites

While we're really excited about our new cat room addition, we'll also be making some needed changes to the existing cat room and shelter facilities. The fact is, there will always be those cats who just can't reside in one of our kitty suites for one reason or another. For them, we're upgrading the current cages to ones that are roomier and provide built-in shelves for perching and sleeping. New cages, along with some other enhancements like increasing storage space, will go a long way towards improving the lives of our shelter cats - and those who care for them.
