Catville Sanctuary
We have rescued many feral cats and built them a catio addition to the guesthouse. We have plastic slats on windows which keeps heat,cold and bugs out but cats can walk thru them.We call this home Catville. We have old ones, deaf, missing teeth, young ones hand raised all taken to vets to be fixed and shots. Some have had severe health problems one almost lost an eye off to UGA vet hospital had surgery and now she can see! We continue to work on Catville inside and outside to keep their environment entertaining and safe for them. They are healthy, happy and much loved. We also have a lovely chicken garden keeping in mind environment for them to be healthy and happy. We will keep posting updates and hope to show each and every cat on this page. Enjoy. We hope this brings inspiration to others to help feral cats. Check out the videos!
The design of Catville catio. We have the layout of rails so they can go under over other cats to get away if needed. They can hide in plants (or play and rearrange) to get away from a stronger personality (Misha lol) Some cats (younger ones) like to jump down from high up..others need steps and everywhere different ways to go over under each other. Also, have a plastic tunnel have seen many cats escape another cat ..mostly in play...and you see the "where did he go?!! So design is to minimize conflicts. It is really a very peaceful place for them and us. You never realize (unless a nighttime hunt) how many cats live here. Some in bedroom napping or eating, some in the living room, others outside in the large area. It is a paradise with more to do to improve. The little cat houses some use if rains and do not want to go inside..some nap..but also the main thing is to be on top jumping from one to another. Also, shade during hot summers all thru day different areas has shade with the little houses. I am going to try a hammock in a few of the houses to see if enjoyed, We have two windows bedroom and kitchen that are open with plastic slats that keep out heat or cold and bugs that they walk through to go to the catio.
I think is important to mention, we do not add any more cats to Catville. We do feed more ferals that have found us in the garage and have heated outdoor houses for them to use. We will catch, have them fixed shots etc and release. It is important to keep the quality of life and environment safe for our Catville family. We will never overcrowd. I would like to see more people involved in helping ferals. They need much support. I am so happy so many enjoying the heart of Catville.
