Riga, is the capital city of Latvia, and they have just done the most humane thing to help stray cats survive winter. Through a project called ‘Outdoor Cat Houses’ 80 tiny homes have been built all around the city. The houses are built up against apartment buildings, and can fit up to five cats. They are built from would, and have insulation inside. They have two exits. All houses are built by a native Latvian master, using donations made to a non-profit cat protector organization, Cat Care Community.
We wanted to build a nice structure where cats could spend the time,
And that would keep them warm and dry at night.
Providing such a shelter is a great way to keep cats safe
Аnd help make the area tidier.
We hope that this way, people around the area will think to care for and sterilize the outdoor cats.
Оver 80 houses are built all around Riga.
Donations were made to non-profit cat protector organization Cat Care Community.
Houses are set next to the apartment houses, designed for 4 or 5 cats.
Made from wood, with internal insulation, safe, sturdy, and with 2 exits.
Such a wonderful project to keep stray kitties safe and sound! Share with friends!
Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:
INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE
It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.
CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT
It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.
CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED
Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.
ATTENTION SEEKERS
Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.
THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE
Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.
