My cat enclosure

[Too Many Cats]

I wanted to share some pictures of my cat enclosure that I built for all the stray cats in my neighborhood that were being trapped and poisoned. I had them all neutered and vaccinated and they live together in here in true harmony. They have never fought amounst each other because I belive they are grateful to have love and a home. I'm pretty proud of it as you can see, lolo!

This is what it started out as



and then I got to work, lol!~



Finished, the outside is enclosed with bug netting




The inside....Since this was taken they now have recliners and couches to sleep in



And this is what it looks like now in the winter time, enclosed in plastic sheeting to keep the heat from their heaters in

Welcome to PT!!! This is such a wonderful thing that you've done and I'm sure that these cats really appreciate it too. I look forward to hearing more about your cats and hopefully seeing more pictures of them.

Nice job, I think that I might have to do the same.

How WONDERFUL!!!!

Welcome to PT!

Looking forward to see pictures of them.

That is awesome! Welcome back. Do the kitties stay there all the time or can they come and go?

[Too Many Cats]

I have it up and going almost 2 years now and there are 10 cats who live comfortably in it. 10 is the limit for the amount of space and since they get along so well and have always seemed to know one another I'm sure they are all related.

This is Max one of my originals who I've had for 20 years and moved here with us. He refuses to use the litter box so that's why he's in there. He has plenty of heat and has survived -20 below all winter so he's doing great!




And this is Ben, another original who moved here with us. He just loves being outside



Zelda a stray from the sewer....



and her kitten, Iris, the only surviver in the litter after an owl attack



Arthur, another sewer cat, he's a big boy and so lovable!



Patty, recovering from her spay after she had 2 kittens in my bushes, which I had to bottle feed



Bottle babies adopted to a friend of mine




And Lora who wouldn't let me touch her for 2 years



Princess who just came here



more to post yet

and 2 more


Todd, who found me out at a stop sign in amish country. Very sweet cat!



And Ingrid, the day I found her with kittens under my deck. The kittens all passed away the next day because she was full of tape worms and very ill.




Okay, that's all the enclosure gang!

That is awesome! Welcome back. Do the kitties stay there all the time or can they come and go?

No, they have to stay in there because I have 2 neighbors that hate cats and were trapping and killing them. After I confronted them that I knew what they were doing, the killing got worse. So that's why they are enclosed now. It's heartbreaking that they cant come and go.....but they are happy and safe in there.....and spoiled rotten, lol!

God bless you. You are wonderful. Thank you so much.

IMPRESSIVE!! I am envious.

[Too Many Cats]

Thank you everyone! I still need to build sunning shelves with ramp steps along the top and middle of the outside and I would love to put a south window in on the inside......or just take over the lawn mower port attached directly on the other side of the inside. It already has a cement floor and a shingled roof and all it needs is to be fenced in and a little cat door cut in. but that's going to take a lot of A-kissing before hubby agrees to that, lol!


And I forgot to add above.....Todd and Princess are being adopted as the new resident cats at another nursing home. So they will be leaving sometime in the next few weeks to be loved and have their pick of a hundred laps everyday. They are lucky kitties for sure
