Protection, Awareness, Wellbeing

Protection:

You may not realise it, but your cat could be roaming the streets.

Protect your cat from the risk of fights, becoming lost, disease, or being injured or killed by a vehicle.

Research shows indoor cats, or cats that are contained outdoors, live longer lives than cats who roam free. This is no surprise, reducing the threat of fights, foxes, dogs, foxes, snakes, theft, becoming lost, disease, and the most significant risk of being injured or killed by a vehicle.

Protect your precious cat with our custom netting solutions, that can be seamlessly integrated into your outdoor space.

 

Awareness:

The UK has a high pet ownership rate, with many households having a feline companion. There are approximately 12.5 million cats across the UK, with most enjoying access to the outdoors.

According to a study, UK cats kill 160 to 270 million small animals annually; a quarter of them birds.

As a cat owner, you have an important role to play in reducing the impact that cats have on our wildlife and protected species. Containment of your cat is a step in the right direction to help protect our wildlife.

All cats in England must be microchipped and registered on a database before they are 20 weeks old. You can be fined up to £500 if your cat is not microchipped when they need to be. Ensure your cat is microchipped, but importantly, ensure that they are not caught roaming and putting our birds and wildlife at risk.

Wellbeing:

In addition to keeping your cat enclosed, there are many ways to care for and protect your cat and become a more responsible cat owner. These include early desexing of your cat, vaccinations, microchipping and a good diet. Your Veterinarian is the best source of advice when it comes to the health of your cat. As well as regular health check-ups, always seek medical advice if your cat is showing any signs that it may be sick.

You should also discuss any behavioural changes with a behaviour professional to help maintain your cat’s overall wellbeing.

Creating a sanctuary at home where your cat feels safe and happy is important. Research shows that a mentally and physically stimulated cat is happier and healthier, and as a result may live longer.

Ensure your cat’s outdoor enclosure is set up according to its environmental and behavioural needs. These needs may centre around its age, personality, and basic need for rest, play and stimulation. 

All cats need vertical space, so be sure to add some climbing furniture into the enclosure. Some toys to keep them entertained and stimulated are also important, and scratching surfaces to satisfy their basic animal instincts.
