  • 1.  Suggestion needed on nursery cages for mom and kittens in a shelter environment

    Posted 03-29-2024 12:03 PM

    Looking for suggestions for nursery cages to be used for momma cats and their kittens in an animal control/shelter environment. They would need to be on wheels so they would not be placed directly on the floor. Could be single cages or set up in doubles or quads. Kitten season is nearly upon us and we anticipate a large influx of momma's and babies as usual. Portable or semi-portable cages would be helpful dealing with a large influx of animals creating over capacity at the shelter. When not needed, we can collapse or roll into storage.

    Any recommendations???

    Thank you very much, Rochelle, for your response!
     
    It helps to hear from someone who has used them. Something may look good online but end but not being very functionable. 
     
    Best,
