I'm building a large enclosure for 65 sanctuary/rescue cats. I'm going to either buy a shed for their housing area (found one that's 10x12 & it's metal) or build one out of plywood. So the housing area will be about 120 sq ft. The attached enclosure will be 15x35; about 525 sq ft plus vertical space with ramps & shelves lined all around the enclosure. Does this sound like enough room?
I'll be using welded wire with 2" openings. Can they squeeze through 2"? But I've been looking at lattice as well to use. If I use lattice, do I still need to attach wire to it or is the lattice safe enough by itself? I'm stumped about ground covering though. That much traffic will turn it into dirt in no time so what's an affordable option for ground flooring? Any other suggestions for the enclosure? Thanks guys!!
