"Cats are connoisseurs of comfort"
This product really came through for us and probably saved a life. An evening stroll around the area ends abruptly when we hear desperate animal cries for help. We look across the street by the highway we were walking along and see this pathetic little kitten curled up shaking as cars are whizzing by. As soon as I crossed the street this filthy fluff ball ran over to me screaming for help. So I scooped him up and brought him back over to the other side. Looking around it became clear that he was probably dumped by a car. (There was an empty box next to him as well) When we put him down and attempted to walk away hoping he would go home this screaming and clearly limping tiny mess came hobbling back up to us and our giant Great Dane. He wouldn't stop crying and appeared to be severely dehydrated so we couldn't just leave him to die. We set him up outside with food and water and watched him as he ravenously consumed as much as he could get down within minutes. We did what we could for the night.
The next morning we took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with a skin infection, and a broken leg. Two days after his release from quarantine I go to clean the litter box and notice there isn't a lot of pee in the box. Oh please tell me he isn't peeing on our stuff. Not too long after, I watch him attempt to pee on our shoes. Then it was the kitchen floor, clothes, curtains. Back to quarantine. OMG, WHAT do we do now? Fortunately, we caught it before he peed on something that couldn't be properly washed. Call the vet, not a lot of help with this one there. So I turned to the Internet. I found a lot of information but no real answers other than the fact that he may never get it right.
What do we do with a sickly cat that doesn't like using the litter-box and can't be left outside? Most cats get it right away. This one was sleeping behind the toilet on the plunger and toilet brush that he had just peed on which was inches away from his litter box.
The little kitten that doubled in size in two weeks was now losing all his hair and living in our bathroom until a solution could be found.
All he wants is to be loved. We couldn't pass the problem onto someone else or he would wind up in the shelter or worse. He can't be an outdoor cat for some time, if at all.
After a ton of research and vet bills we decided we had to keep him confined and teach him all over again. We didn't want him to live in the bathroom any longer either. Finally I found this cat home from the company I get my bird products from.
This product IS the solution we were looking for. As with most Prevue Pet Products, it had to be put together. I did it alone and it wasn't difficult to do. The assembly took me about 30 minutes to complete. All the pieces but one fit perfectly together. The one piece that I had trouble with was one of the metal connector bars. I was able to use a hammer to gently tap it down into place though.
Pros:
Easy to assemble
Size Matters - room to sleep, play, dine, and use the kitty facilities
Hammocks are durable and easy to wash
Shelf Liners are easy to remove and wash
Spacing between bars is safe
Large door openings allow for easy access on each level
Provides a go to "safe zone" for your kitty
Gives you and your kitty Time to work together
Price = good
Cons:
One of the Metal connectors had to be "forced" into place
There really isn't anything I can find that would be cause to dislike this product. Whether you have a problem cat that needs retraining, or a new addition that needs to be quarantined/trained, this product is awesome! If you are fostering or considering to be a foster, you should consider this product.
The next time someone says "I don't know what to do, my cat is ruining my belongings" or "I can't keep him anymore, (s)he pees on everything". Tell them about this product.
