With a catio attached, they can go out in their screen-in area and feel the breeze, see the sun and watch all the birds and insects flying around nearby.

But we didn’t stop there! Next we constructed two new “Catios” (outdoor cat enclosures) outside so that the cats would have free roam of the outside. The fresh air means less respiratory issues and happier, healthier cats! After the catios, we focused on others projects outside such as a play yard for dogs, privacy fencing, grading to keep

Thankfully, the building wasn’t damaged, but they no longer had any outside fencing, the pens were gone, and the outdoor play yard was no more. Rescue Rebuild couldn’t leave these four-legged friends completely cooped up inside, so we came up with the solution—Florida Keys SPCA were getting an all-new play yard, six outdoor playpens with double containment, and an isolation pen. So many holes the needed digging! Just under 100 holes to be exact. It didn’t take long for us to run into our first obstacle….
