cages in cattery

Our new cages consist of 3 separate units that are attached and moved as one complete unit.
Each cage is 2' W x 2' H x 8' L totalling 32 cubic feet.  Each section has a recessed litterpan.  If the pan is removed the cats can travel from level to level increasing their total living area and allowing the males to get additional excerise.

Usually the only cats caged are the siring males.

Females, when bred and within 2 weeks of delivery, are moved from the cattery to the upstairs loft to a kittening cage.

All kittens are born in the loft of the second floor of the main house.
When the kittens turn 6 weeks of age they are left out of their kittening boxes to run the loft and eventually the house.
The kittens become socialized by having access to two floors of the house where they learn to run, jump and play.
Our babies become socialized members of the family so they easily adjust to their new homes when they are adopted.

Of course we always have a few new show kitties or one or two favorite neuters that run the main house and help to share our bed at night.

We recently installed a new air purifier on each of the three levels of the house.  The purifier is made by Odatus and the company selling this product can be located at: www.odatus.com
The Odatus air purifiers can be purchased directly from the Odatus website or from us if you like.  During our recent vet inspection, our vet told us we had "ZERO CAT ODOR" in our house and cattery and he said that was truly amazing, especially with three siring males.  So we highly recommend this new air purifier.  The ozone plates inside the machine are ceramic so they will last a very long time and these units are also made for areas with high humidity and moisture since they were primarily manufactured for use in Marine areas.  They come with a 5 year warranty while other purifiers are usually only covered for 3 years.  You get an excellent product for your money.
