Cat Annex

To minimize stress and disease transmission, our cats are housed in cage ‘condos’ that allow them to eat, sleep, and do their business in separate spaces. Portal doors or plastic sliders keep each cat in one section of its cage while you work safely in another. Each room in the Cat Annex is stocked with clean towels, litter boxes, bowls, and disinfectant spray bottle.
