11 architectural cat shelters
A stack of milk cartons and metal pallets, a hollow concrete ball and a leggy wooden shelter are among the houses that Los Angeles architects and designers have created for cats.
The 11 one-of-a-kind cat shelters were created for the Architects for Animals' annual Giving Shelter fundraiser.
The shelters will be available for purchase via an online auction to raise funds for local nonprofit FixNation, which provides free spay and neuter services for stray cats in the California city. Read on to find out more about the 11 kitty-friendly shelters:
CatCube: Meowdular Dwelling Unit by Abramson ArchitectsÂ
This flexible modular system designed by Abramson Architects uses magnets to link the parts together, allowing pet owners to configure the number and type of units that best suit their cat's needs. Felt lines the interior of each module and playful colours coat the durable exterior. Carpet tiles and pet grass, that can be easily removed for replacement or cleaning, provide a base perfect for lounging and scratching. Felt pads are also attached to the bottom of each CatCube to lift it off the ground, allowing the unit to easily slide across flooring.
Design by D3architecture
To sculpt this shelter, D3architecture collected an assortment of used plastic, wood and metal milk crates. The boxes stack on top of one another, above a base crafted from wood, to create ample opportunity for climbing and lots of space for napping.
