Over the previous months, Sandbach Animal Rescue has undergone a major upgrade and refurbishment, to enable the rescue to offer the best possible care and treatment for the homeless, abandoned and injured cats and kittens they care for. The extension and interior part of the upgrade is now almost complete, but now we need to raise funds for phase 2, the outdoor area.

Although they have been domesticated for a very long time, cats still have some of the instincts that make them want to roam around freely, and satisfy their natural curiosity for exploring. They also enjoy fresh air and sunlight, and if there is nothing else for them to do, they can entertain themselves for hours by simply watching the world go by. An outdoor enclosure will also provide environmental enrichment, which is critical to a cats mental and physical health.

The Outdoor catio will be equipped with multiple features and toys that keep cats busy and active. It will also help satisfy their natural desire for a little adventure by allowing the cats and Kittens to play, climb, jump, run around, and explore.

In addition to all these benefits, it will aid in helping them to socialise with people and help to promote good relationships and/or reduce stress and issues between cats while they wait for their forever homes.
