LAST PICTURE/VIDEO UPDATE: 08:06:2025!
Update 11/2023: My Cattery received EXCELLENT rating for TICA “Outstanding Cattery”! Documents on Blog!
When we officially became empty-nested retired persons in 2019, we remodelled a 1350 sf. level of our home into a free run “Cattery“, as part of our therapy. 😊 The area is divided into the “Maternity Ward” - a smaller, Pink nursery for very young babies, the “Green Nursery" - a large play room for older kittens, the “Purple Cat Gym” - a very large area to run and climb for adult cats and the “Romper Room”, a roomy exercise room, mostly for teen boys. A natural, wrap-around outdoor enclosure can be reached through kitty doors, from their window seats. We also built a summer kitty house with screened-in porch, to be used on warm, sunny days. My husband built a large enclosure around the summer kytty house in 2025.
Please see a collection of pictures of videos, showing how the cats and kittens live in my home:
GREEN NURSERY FOR OLDER KITTENS
Even though you will see many of my cat pictures on outdoor stumps, no worries, they do have a home and are never allowed to roam the outdoors unsupervised :-).
This is my green nursery for kittens around 7 weeks and upwards. A nursery is a safe place where kittens can be raised underfoot with their mother. Kittens remain in their nursery until they are mature enough to freely run my living room and until they are ready for the transition to their new families. The furniture was custom ordered from Custom Cribs in Alberta.
The smaller plexiglass area you see is made by "Clearly Loved Pets". It serves as an enclosure during transition into the larger area and later gets modified into an extra play area with a large cat wheel (ours is the OnefastCat brand).
ROMPER ROOM
Winters are long here in Canada and a breeder needs to provide areas where kitties can exercise. I use this room for different purposes:, including exercise area for younger, rumbunctious breeding males or sometimes for females in heat or as a mating area. All my cats get to access all areas of my home, plus a large, fenced in outdoor area. Being mentored with German customs in the 80s, my cats are never kept in pens to treat hormonal behaviour! Breeding cats that become unhappy for whatever reason will be spayed/neutered and placed in loving pet homes.
SUMMER KITTY ENCLOSURE
Last not least, my favorite: In 2019 we built a summer kitty house and had a ton of fun decorating it. In July 2025 we then added a brand new "Purrfectfence" enclosure. The cats are allowed to use this large outdoor area during summer months.
Emphasizing again here that all my cats reside in my home. The summer kitty house provides an additional area, to be utilized between the end of May and October. The cats can take turns to enjoy the sunny weather, roll in the grass and chase flies and each other.
Please visit my Facebook business page to see many videos of my facility and videos of the cats in the new outdoor run.
Here is a video of the newly fenced in area:
Here is the porch and a panorama view of the inside: (the indoor design usually gets altered bi-annually)
