Keeping Cats Safe and Happy

Studies have shown that cats kept indoors live longer than those allowed to roam as they are at lower risk of injuries such as being hit by cars and are far less likely to contract infectious diseases and parasites. Come along to this workshop and learn how you can keep your cats happy and safe by creating a Catio and providing enrichment activities.

Learn from cat behaviourist Heather Crawford, sustainability expert Chris Ferreira and the Perth Zoo on how you can best achieve these aims. This will include discovering how Perth Zoo makes engaging enrichment for their Big Cats and other animals, and then how you can use these skills to make enrichment for your feline friends at home.

You will also learn how to build a cat enclosure including materials, tools, design, cat enrichment, installation, and how to create a beautiful drought friendly garden & lawn within and surrounding your Catio.
