The ProtectaPet Cat Balcony Kit is a revolutionary product designed to enable apartment-dwelling cat owners to provide safe, supervised, outdoor access for their cats. The product has been developed by ProtectaPet, an international cat fencing specialist, and is the latest addition to their range of modular cat fencing products.
The risk of cats falling from balconies is a serious concern. In 2017, the Blue Cross, an animal welfare charity, appealed to cat owners to keep cats safe around elevated open windows and balconies after two cat fatalities and five cat injuries were treated at their Victoria animal hospital over a single weekend. The term ‘high rise syndrome’ was even coined in New York in the 1980s, when more than 100 cats were brought into a veterinary center with injuries from falls. Consequently, most cats living in apartments have been kept indoors for their own safety, with windows and doors being deliberately kept shut to ensure their safety.
Product designer and Managing Director of ProtectaPet, Simon Davies BSc, set out to develop a balcony enclosure that was adaptable to different balcony configurations and could provide cats with safe access to the outdoors. After three years of extensive product testing, the ProtectaPet Cat Balcony Kit was born. The netting is made from hybrid stainless-steel reinforced nylon for resistance to chewing, while maintaining a low visual impact. The kit is designed to be installed with a hacksaw, hammer, pliers and scissors, making it easily accessible to most practical people. Crucially, the innovative new fixtures are secured under tension, enabling owners to easily relocate the balcony enclosure if they move.
The ProtectaPet Cat Balcony Kit is the first of its kind with ‘no drill’ attachments, making it suitable for most balconies. It requires two people for installation, and they must undertake a rigorous risk assessment to ensure the safety of themselves and those around them. ProtectaPet is targeting cities with high rates of cat ownership in the UK and across all of Europe, and are noticing ‘hot-spots’ of enquiries from places like St Helier in Jersey, presumably because once one cat owner has discovered the product, news spreads and subsequently their cat-owning neighbours are interested.
The ProtectaPet Cat Balcony Kit is designed and made in Britain, with ambition for international clientele. It provides cat owners with peace of mind about their cat’s welfare and safety, as well as eliminating the need for smelly cat litter trays and the need to keep balcony doors shut. With the ProtectaPet Cat Balcony Kit, cats can now enjoy the fresh air, while remaining safe and secure in their outdoor environment.
