As fun as a brown box may be to cats, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society animal centres now have four new themed “cat cabin” designs that are as fun as they are functional to keep the animals comfortable and make them feel safe.
Presented by the Pet Valu Companions for Change program, the Cat Cabin Program features four new cabin themed designs including “Cabin in the Meow-tains,” “Miami Beach,” “Tiki Hut” and “Nautical Ship.”
Cat cabins are cardboard box houses that act as a safe haven for cats in shelters.
When a cat is adopted, the same “cat cabin” transforms into a temporary carrier for traveling home.
Once home, adopters are encouraged to reassemble the cabin, as it has the cat’s scent on it and helps ease their transition into their new home by offering a familiar place to perch, sleep, hide and rub.
Pet lovers who adopt a new cat or small animal through the Ontario SPCA will also receive the Pet Valu New Pet Parent Guide. The guide includes tips, checklists and up to $230 in savings for new pet parents.
Interested in adopting? Visit ontariospca.ca/adopt to see animals waiting for loving homes. Your new best friend could be there, waiting for you in their new cat cabin – curled up by the fire in their meow-tain ski chalet, making waves on the beach, enjoying a siesta under a string of tiki lights, or waiting to sail off into the sunset.
