Thursday, several New York City architects unveiled cat shelters they designed to be placed around the Upper West Side. Cathaus, the Bauhaus-inspired structure above, was conceived by Leslie Farrell, founder of the group Architects for Animals. “We decided to make it whimsical,” she said of her concept.
Other designs included a “time machine for kittens,” by the architect David Sepulveda (one of the people behind the idea to flood-proof Manhattan with containers of trash) and a cave-esque shelter by the company MishMish. According to DNAinfo, they’ll all be placed in areas with high stray populations.
Will Cathaus offer rental rooms, just like the real thing?
