Catio Project  - ​Completed!!

After our kennel expansion was completed, attention was turned to the cats and how we could give more of the cats access to the outdoors in nice weather. We don't keep our cats in crates or cat condos. They live in an environment that is as close to a home environment as possible.  As part of this it's nice to give the cats an opportunity to safely enjoy time outside. Surprisingly, many of the cats even like to go out in the winter! Originally we only had outdoor access/catios available from one of the cat rooms and it was old and falling apart.  However, the cats who have the outdoor access really enjoy it and so we wanted to replace the worn out catio and provide catios for the other rooms.

Last spring, thanks to a generous donation, we were able to begin work on new catios with proper foundations to support them.  The work was completed in the Fall of 2020, in spite of the challenges presented by the pandemic.  See the slideshow of the progress. The catios were constructed by Catty Shack, a local organization.
