"Feral Cat Den"

Feral Cat Den (aka Feral Cat Handler) - When you must hold a cat for several days for recovery from an injury or extensive surgery, the den provides a quiet hiding place. The den can be placed in a larger holding pen or large cage where the cat is being held, along with a litter box, food, and water. The cat enters the den by a porthole on the side that you easily slide shut once the cat is inside. You can then take the cat for cleaning, treatment, or transportation. A vertical sliding door makes it easy to transfer the cat to another cage or return the cat to the den for recovery after surgery.

Heidi's comments:



"THIS image shows the flat transfer door for transferring a feral to a carrier and it shows the smaller round door that can be operated from outside the cage with a stick to keep the handler safe when containing the feral cat.

The feral could go into that could be closed/opened with a stick through the bars of the kennel so the feral cat would be safely contained and the area could be cleaned or the cat transported. The FCD can be used in veterinary recovery kennels or larger wire dog-crates."
