Building a safe environment for disabled cats presents even more of a challenge:
From Indiegogo: "How do you create a stable environment for cats in a constant state of instability? How do you design stimulating architectural features when the smallest surface change can be dangerous? How do you create a space where cats can be cats, even if they lack the cat's signature trait of balance?
This is The Meowhaus Project."
A young group of architects from the Graduate Architecture Club (GAC) at the Spitzer School of Architecture in New York City has been asked to complete the Meowhaus, a home for disabled cats that is located where else but in the CATskills! Why? Because they know Cat Construction Codes.

They are doing well on their construction but need help, and have 11 days to make their $3000 goal. I am contributing and you can too by visiting Indiegogo.

Wow thank you for sharing this news. It's wonderful to learn of a hospice for these special needs cats! I will definitely contribute as I pray it will come back to us. You see we are in desperate need for someone to build very simple 18 x 24 cat houses with floor and roof and four columns, no walls as dry feeding stations for the Riverfront cats during our rainy season which is June-November 30. We collected some donations but no one to build them!
ReplyDeleteHere's to Meowhaus!

This is a great post. It would be wonderful if architecture students all over the country did projects like this!
ReplyDeleteChristine, you should contact these people, maybe they can help or might know of someone who can. What about contacting the architecture departments of some local universities? Maybe they could start a project similar to this?
ReplyDeletewow! new information for us, thank you and paw crossed they meet their goal. paw pats to you Cody, Savannah
