Feels like home...
The Details
We are only small and have just 10 double pens plus an isolation unit; this allows us to spend plenty of time with each visitor ensuring they are settled, groomed and happy at regular intervals throughout the day and evening. Cuddles and play time is free with additional enrichment provided regularly.
Each pen features a heated bedroom area for sleeping and a larger spacious run for exercise, there are shelves at various heights available, including a ramp for access, allowing your cats to choose the very best location for their next snooze.
Dividing panels can be removed to create larger family sharing pens where more than 2 cats can stay together.
The accommodation is modern UPVC and glass in construction creating a consistently hygienic clean environment (as the material is not absorbent).
The bespoke design and construction is provided by Peticular Pens, a specialist company based in Suffolk, who utilise the highest quality lead free UPVC frames, quadruple glazed windows and a digital thermostatically regulated temperature control system. These features combine to ensure your cats are comfortable all year round.
We play a radio in the corridor area during the daytime to ensure there is gentle music and conversation heard throughout the day making the atmosphere feel similar to your cat’s own home.
Our light and bright environment allows our cats to be nosey and enjoy watching everyone around them, whilst the birds & wildlife in the garden just outside provide additional enrichment.
Storm sash windows within the corridor area allow excellent control of ventilation, with maximum movement of air during the summer months whilst also being able to shut the wind and rain out during poor weather.
The digital thermostatically regulated temperature control system includes a heating panel & automatic ventilation fan providing comfort and circulation of air at all times ensuring your cat always has a sanctuary to retreat to.
The individual rear viewing windows have shelves to allow our visitors to enjoy the comfort of being up high whilst watching the birds, bees and butterflies from their bedroom.
LED lighting throughout and extensive insulation reduces energy consumption.
We use Beco litter trays made from mostly natural waste plant fibre material – a 100% biodegradable plastic replacement. Purrfect... helping protect the environment.
