THE PORTAL PROJECT...

Portals work. A handful of shelters have already converted older cage housing using portals and have seen dramatic improvements to cat health and well being, lower medical costs and even increased adoptions...but hand crafting portals out of 8" PVC pipe or any other material takes time - unfortunately quite a lot of time (for the PVC portals about 1 hour/portal).  You can get an idea of the current process using the upper tabs to view galleries of making and placing the handcrafted portals as well as the cages in use. Our next step is to have portals manufactured. This will take out a big limiting factor for many shelters - time and skill to make the portal.  Shelters will still need to get them installed but this process is relatively quick and easy and can be done by local contractors in most communities. Our goal is to make a portal that meets the following criteria:

 

1.  Universal portal that can be placed in a variety of styles and types of existing shelter cat housing

2.  Easily cleaned

3.  Durable

4.  Closable door

5.  Affordable

 

Manufactured portals are now available.
