The Purradise Suites
An optimal environment for the well-being of our feline residents to support their journey towards adoption.
After a summer of construction, the second floor of the ARL’s Clowder House for cats has been remodeled to create a more ideal environment for cats who need long-term care or have specific behavior needs. Redesigned condo-style living spaces, called Purradise Suites, and a new room layout give cats access to exterior windows and promote their mental well-being in other ways to enhance their stay and help them move toward finding new homes faster.
Here are some of the changes:
Redesigned kennels continue to offer our cats large condo-style living spaces, while making cleaning more efficient and effective. The changes have reduced day-to-day stress on our cats and have given staff and volunteers the opportunity to dedicate more quality time to each cat.
A new room layout and custom-built features will give cats in nearly all of the condos access to exterior windows for added enrichment!
The new kennels – which includes extra-large condos in the center of the room – allow for greater flexibility during large-scale rescues and in times of increased cat population. The expanded spaces are also available for cats who need extra room to run and play with interactive toys or other cat friends, promoting their mental well-being.
The new design is visually more inviting and welcoming for potential adopters, providing a more fulfilling visitation experience when looking for their newest family member in the Clowder House.
