It wasn't long after we put up the Purrfect Fence when nature in a grander scale seemed to challenge us. I came home from work and was feeding our ferrel cats when I noticed that a tree had fallen onto our new fence. After going out to check the situation, I found that it was not just one tree, but one tree that took part of another tree with it and fell right between two posts directly on top of the fence. I have to say that I was a little upset after all the work of putting it up and making sure everything was just right and now a tree falls on it.

In order to cut the tree free of the fence, I needed to go to my neighbor's yard and work from his side since most of the weight was on the fence and in his yard. Once I cleared the branches from the fence I noticed that the poles did not even bend - they were as straight as they were when we put them up. The fencing was a little stretched from the weight of the tree, but with a little nip/tuck it was as good as new. I was very impressed.

Thank you for making such a strong and dependable product.

As a veterinarian, I have focused much of my learning on feline medicine and well being. Currently, there is a discussion in the veterinary community of environmental enrichment for many animals that are confined indoors. Confinement indoors has many benefits but at the same time may also contribute to medical conditions such as obesity, behavioral problems, and stress-related illness. Over the years, I have tried many published techniques to make my home a cat friendly environment. When I saw Purr....fect Fence at a veterinary convention, I decided it would be a great investment in my cat's well being, emotionally and physically. After all, a happy cat has a better chance of being a healthy cat.

I'm sending along a few photos of my cats enjoying the outside protected by their wonderful Purr..fect Fence! I have been a member of a group that rescues ferals and strays and we have rescued and adopted out many cats.. but I've also kept many... I now have seven cats! And I used to let them out thinking I lived in a safe neighborhood and some of the cats were semi-feral and really needed to be outside... but then one of my cats disappeared and I was heartbroken. I have now moved to a new house and decided I had to have a way to let the cats out but have them be safe. I looked into several fences and then found your site when I was doing a search on the internet and it seemed like the perfect solution. So I ordered one and put it up 2 months ago and the cats are SO happy to be outside and we are SO happy to watch them outside knowing they are safe. I can't tell you what a relief it has been and how grateful we are for your product. There is nothing else like it. And we also appreciate that the fence is just about invisible and does not obstruct the view of our pretty back yard. We thank you for your product and our cats thank you! Take a look at them enjoying themselves....

Please find enclosed some conventional photos and a CD (the conventional photos have also been scanned and added to the CD) with pictures of some of our cats enjoying their yard, made possible by Purr..fect Fence. We have 6 cats and are thrilled to be able to offer them the opportunity to experience the joy, excitement and stimulation of being outside without having to worry that something bad will happen to them. We are too attached to our cats to take that chance.

We have installed kitty doors to allow them free access to their yard, and they spend many hours a day out there. Even our most athletic cat, Charlie, has been unable to “Houdini” his way out of the fence, in spite of his many efforts.

Our cats enjoy the stimulation they receive from being outside. They like watching birds, chipmunks, squirrels and deer that frequent our property. While our cats can watch these critters, they cannot bother them-our bird feeders are on the other side of the cat fence.

Sometimes they enjoy catching bugs and chasing each other outside, often zooming around at full speed, which is great exercise for them. At other times they prefer to simply relax, lounge and catch a catnap in the safety of their Purr..fect Fence. We are so happy we chose to invest in Benner’s Purr..fect Fence. It expands the amount of living space that is available to our cats, which is so important in a multi-cat household such as ours.

So, thank you for developing such a wonderful product—it affords us peace of mind in knowing that our cats are safe and happy. We fully endorse the Purr..fect Fence!

I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU, for coming up with the design of Purr…fect Fence. I recently moved from NJ to Maine in the woods near the ocean and after three months of listening to three cats whine to go outside I made the decision to let my indoor/outdoor cats out.

Dear Joan:

I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU, for coming up with the design of Purr…fect Fence. I recently moved from NJ to Maine in the woods near the ocean and after three months of listening to three cats whine to go outside I made the decision to let my indoor/outdoor cats out. I always made sure they were in the house before dark. However, something terrible happened one day. My middle, female cat "Whoopie" was lost for 3 1/2 days and when she finally returned home crawling up the pathway she was obviously in a state of shock - something scared her so bad she did not want to go outside again. I had been frantically searching for her all that time and was literally sick to my stomach, I was so upset. I was wondering if she was lost, if she had been run over by a car, or if something had got her. When I took her to the Vet, he told me that there are hawks, foxes, and sometimes coyotes in the woods at night where I live and that she apparently was hiding from one. She wasn't injured, just extremely scared. She apparently cried so much that her little voice is now still raspy. I had no idea!! I felt like a very "bad mommy". That was last July 2002. I had resigned myself to keeping the cats inside the rest of their lives. It just wasn't worth it. Meanwhile, the crying of my other two cats was driving us crazy.

About two months ago, I knew there had to be something out there for other pet owners that were experiencing the same problem that we were, so I typed in the word "cat fence" on the Internet and to my delight there you were - www.PurrfectFence.com!

We put the cat fence up about 3 1/2 weeks ago, it was simple to install. My cats now go to and from the basement door with a pet door. My older, male cat is still getting the hang of it, but my two smaller females have "died and gone to heaven". They can swat at bugs, lie on the warm grass, and bask in the sun, and watch the birds and not come home with one in their mouth. It is especially nice that I don't have to keep opening and closing the door and yelling their names for them to come home. I do always make sure the pet door is closed at night. Whoopie is her old self again. I have to tell you that you have made me so happy that I am tearing up writing this to you. Thanks again. I promise I will tell everybody I see about your product. Your customer service is also excellent. Alpo, Whoopie and Fuzz Bucket say "meow, meow and meow" in thanks.
Sincerely,

Frani in Phippsburg, Maine

The purr...fect cat fencing is the best investment we have made for our cats. We live in a rural area of Rhode Island and have seen many wild animals cross our backyard (coyotes, fishers, fox, etc.) This fence has kept our 5 cats safe from the local wildlife yet able to enjoy the outside at the same time. I intend to increase the area they are able to roam since this fencing has worked out so well. It's easy to install and took about 1 day to enclose a 100 ft area.

I have had my 3 acres enclosed for 4 years, and I have 10 cats! Purr-fect Cat Fence has been highly effective at keeping out predators, who would injure my cats, such as weasels, coyote, fox, etc. It also has been effective at keeping my cats enclosed.
