We want our Queens to feel as comfortable and secure as they possibly can during delivery and after. That is why we have chosen to use these pet play pens as our maternity suites. They are made from a durable, waterproof oxford cloth that is easy to clean, with a removable bottom for quick washing. There is also a breathable mesh that keeps the air flowing and also provides a convenient way for us to keep an eye on things. Before delivery a water proof, quilted whelping pad will be placed over the bottom. Not only does this provide mom with comfort during her delivery process but also helps aide in the cleanup afterwards.
Following delivery, the happy new mom and babes will be transferred into their box. This helps to keep the ‘swimming’ babies safe (you wouldn’t believe how well they can travel), all in one place and out of mom’s other necessities. She has everything she needs just a few steps away. We us equine pine pellets for litter, a safe and natural product for her potty needs. Fresh clean water and plenty of food to provide her with all the nutrition necessary to keep her babies growing healthy and strong. You might be wondering however, why there is no food dish pictured? This is because we have decided to use paper plates for mealtimes. Once momma is finished we just discard the plate, keeps things nice and clean!
We just love the ease and convenience these suites provide for our Cattery and the Queens seem pretty happy about them too! Momma and her kittens will stay in the suite until they graduate to the nursery.
