A NEW SLEEPING AREA FOR OUR CATS

Preparations for the cats in need of our help in 2019 has begun. After recovering from the delude of cats we rescued in 2018 one thing has become clear to us: we need more outside areas for our cats. This is a hard task, as we do not have much space in our small shelter, but! "where there is a will, there is a way!"

We have the idea to split "Jaula 1" (J1 - the main adult area) into two sections. One for the adults to remain outside, and a second smaller second area for our teenagers, who missed the adoption season in 2018 and are still with us. To enable us to do this, we need to take away the inside sleeping area of the adults living in J1. By closing off the smallest side of their area, we can fence in an outside area to make a new garden for the young, energetic cats. They will then take over the inside bedroom of the adult cats. Breaking down a window area and replacing it with a door, along with some metal fencing to close the area off, is not the big task. The challenge comes providing new sleeping areas for our grown up cats. That's where you come in.

In the main area are currently living 30 cats and we need to provide a new sleeping area. That we can do with a specially prepared container, just like the one shown in this picture.

We are asking for your help to find us that container and the materials needed to prepare this new sleeping house. Do you know someone who has a container they no longer need? Or maybe someone who sells 2nd hand containers? How about someone who has the materials to set the container on a solid base and the skills to do it?

We also need someone to convert the container into a bedroom area for the cats, along with a storage area, if it container is big enough. We will move the baskets and boxes from their current bedroom into the container and build a new bedroom for the young cats who will be moving into a clean, newly painted and sterilised playhouse. The new "Jaula 5"

If you can help us with any of these items or you are experienced at working with these materials and can do the manual labour then please get in touch with us - we will be very grateful for your help.
