    I love my precious kittens and I hope they have long and happy lives filled with love.

    Cats and dogs arent pets, theyre family members that need the same respect as humans. Would you dump your children out in the countryside to fend for themselves??

    I've been thinking about getting something like this for my cats. I want one that has doors that zip closed. I don't know if something like that will work for you.

    If you know someone that has Chickens they could probably adapt a chicken pen for Sea and Kansas and place it close to an adjacent window.
    There are some in Cat Fancy out they are pricey.

    This is the one I built a few years ago. It's 9'x30', totally enclosed. Lumber and wire cost about $250. A smaller one would be a lot less.

    We have one. It's made out of chainlink fencing with some additional panels at the top to prevent climbing out. I don't seem to have any good pictures of it though! The cats love it! Boots is out playing in the snow right now!

    Here's the one we made:

    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    in was walking around the garden last night thinkingof a placetoput it. I think we could move our current cat door (on the back door) to the door next to it, and create a tunnel onto an enclosure on the grass. would it be hardto build a tunnel onto concrete?
