Top architects in Los Angeles have crafted thoughtful, stylish, creative, one-of-a-kind cat shelters for a furry good cause.
The non-profit organisation Fixnation, which offers a free, full-time spay/neuter clinic in LA for homeless stray and feral cats, is taking creative measures to raise money for humane colony management programmes in LA where over a million cats live on the streets, making it one of the US’s largest populations of homeless felines.
LA architects were tasked with designing, building and donating functional, one-of-a-kind outdoor dwellings for cats. The shelters were presented at the Architects for Animals “Giving Shelter” exhibit, and were auctioned off to benefit the charity’s mission.
Watch how “Flora-gato”, a collaborative biomorphic trellis, was painstakingly created below and browse the gallery to view all of the designs.
