Cat Fence Success Stories

Late last summer, a stray kitty adopted us. He was very thin and his ears were all bloody from weeks of scratching due to a terrible case of ear mites. Since we had just lost our beloved “Whiskers” earlier in the summer from a coyote attack, I decided that this cat would be an indoor cat. After a week of constant meowing, I decided it was selfish of me to keep “Honey Bunches of Kitty” inside since he was used to the outdoors. I realized that he was better off being happy even if there was a chance I could lose him also. He was outside through the fall, and since winters here are snowy, he spent most of the winter inside. The problems started this spring. In early April, Kitty got an abscess on his face due to cat bite. We took him to the vet and he drained the wound and put him on antibiotics. In a week, he seemed fine. However, just a few days later, he had another abscess. The vet became suspicious because he was getting abscesses so easily, so he decided to test him for feline leukemia and aids, which is not uncommon in stray cats. As it turns out, Honey Bunches of Kitty has feline leukemia which makes him much more susceptible to infections. The vet informed me that if we continued to let Kitty outside, he would surely get an infection that would kill him. Also, he could infect other cats in the neighborhood. This time, I felt I had no choice. Kitty would have to be an indoor cat. We kept him in for 2 very long weeks of constant meowing and howling. I really didn’t think I could take it much longer. It was then that I sat down at the computer and started looking for cat fences. I came upon your website and liked what I saw. Within a few days I placed an order for 300’ of Purr..Fect Fence. While we were waiting for the fence to arrive, I prepared the area, cleaning out brush and trimming tree branches. It took a weekend for two of us to install the fence. Getting Purr..Fect Fence was the best thing we ever did. Our whole backyard is enclosed and Honey Bunches of Kitty can keep us company on our deck and around the hot tub and pool. He’s so much happier now and so am I. It’s great that I don’t have to worry about him when he’s out.
