Betty Singleton - Oxford, Alabama

I lived many years in different parts of the country including California, Colorado and Florida. Everywhere I lived I had neighbors that complained about my cats and I had many cats that just disappeared. My dream was to have a place where my cats could live outside and be safe and not be a bother to anyone. The time finally came when I was preparing to move back home to Alabama and I discovered the cat fence on the Purr…fect Fence website. That, immediately, became part of my plan. We totally enclosed the back yard with the "Houdini-Proof Fence" 18 months ago. We have 11 cats that now live inside this safe enclosed area. Not one has ever gotten out. We love our Purr…fect Fence!

We received everything we ordered and needed quickly. Installation for the most part went well, the main problem we had was with the hardness of our ground - maybe you could develop heavy duty poll inserts and stakes for those of us in the desert :)

But the best part is we LOVE OUR CAT YARD!! We have six cats and have always believed that although it is dangerous to let cats outside, they love to be outside and are healthier. So, we let them out, always worried something would happen to them (which it did to a couple) and figured a short life outside was better than a long life trapped indoors.

When we erected out cat fence we did not know how the cats would take to it - if they would try to escape, etc. But, after a short adjustment period, they are very content, the oldest (13 years old) to the youngest (just over one year old). Even my most restless wanderer never even made an attempt to escape! They have a cat door to go in and out of the house at will, and can now stay out all night on warm summer nights.

We can also now feed birds without being guilty of luring them to their death.

I would highly recommend the fence to every cat owner, it is definitely the best of both worlds for them, and are very content within their yard. We are considering adding on to the size of the enclosure in the future with additional fencing from you.

Thanks for a great product!

Deena,

In the recent past, we had a couple of heart-breaking incidences with coyotes, which drove us to find a way to enclose our fourteen cats.

Several qualities drew us to your fence; all were very important to us:

• “Houdini proof” design
• Durability
• Ease of installation
• Flexibility to customize
• Appearance
• Cost

We tackled our own “site specific challenges” such as slopes, and an entryway gate to attach. In addition, we took some extra steps to make our enclosure as secure as possible. We added 3’ wire on the back of the fence along with a short, low power electric net fence just behind that, and extra outdoor lighting. We tacked cone shaped tree guards made out of the extra fencing material on a few little trees close to the fence line. Furthermore, we are now able to let our dogs out at random times. All of these measures will help manage our predator problem.

With a little work, the result is an attractive and barely visible enclosure added right to the front and side of our home. Both our family and our dogs can keep an eye on the entire area from just inside, and our view and feeling of openness we enjoy have been preserved. Our cats are able to live comfortably and safely in the natural habitat that they love. Our dogs love it too. In fact, they are all happier, healthier and more protected than they have ever been, and I cannot describe how much more secure that makes us feel. This is the purr…fect fence for us. Honestly, we are thrilled!

In closing, my husband, Leonard, and I would like to thank the Benner staff. From our first order to technical support along the way, we were in touch with a very nice group of professional and knowledgeable people. Again, thank you for helping to make our project a huge success.

Sincerely,
