Using this pen gives your cats a safe and familiar space when staying at a hotel, or at a friend's home. Before using in a travel or emergency situation, he pen can be set up at home and left open, letting kitty explore the space beforehand and get comfortable being inside.

Outdoor Fun for Indoor Cats
The pen can be used outdoors to give cats time in fresh air while keeping them safe and secure. Let your indoor cat enjoy the excitement of being outside without the danger of escape, predators, or other hazards.

Introducing a New Kitten or Cat to Your Home
The pen can also be used to help introduce a new cat or kitten to your current household pets by giving everyone a chance to look, hear, and smell the others while keeping them physically apart. Your new family member will feel safe in her own space while getting used to her new forever home and its current inhabitants.

Cat owners reported using this popular pet pen in tandem with cat tunnels, making an even more exciting, expanded space. Link up multiple pens with tunnels to make an elaborate outdoor play area for kitty! Double up by stacking two pens to have a space double the height for inclusion of a cat tree!
