    Basic Cattery Planning - Extras

    If your finances permit, there are several extras you may wish to consider.

    You may wish to install a separate heating and cooling unit in the cattery. For a small cattery, window units that do both are available. For a larger cattery, a separate furnace and air conditioner unit will be necessary. In this way, you can keep all odors confined to the cattery. You also can maintain the most advantageous temperature for your breed. In all probability, this will be much more comfortable than the temperature you are maintaining in your house.

    In humid climates, dehumidifiers keep the moisture content of the air at acceptable levels. This discourages fungus and upper respiratory disease and keeps the cats' coats in prime condition. In the wintertime, a humidifier will serve the same purpose.

    Ultraviolet light systems are quite effective in killing airborne microorganisms. Ozone is an excellent deodorizer and air purifier and has antibacterial properties.
