Not every cat, like me, is furtunate enough to have a selection of cozy cat beds and boxes to curl up in. In fact, many cats don’t have any beds – or homes – at all. Last week, FixNation held their annual fundraiser, Architects for Animals Giving Shelter, where top Los Angeles architects and designers donated innovative and inspurrational outdoor dwellings for homeless cats.
“Kitty Cathedral.” Because all cats should be worshipped.

“Cats Win! Cats Win!” “Having a place to call home, a sense of belonging and the feeling of victory over homelessness became the driving force for our shelter.” – Kollin Altomare Architects. Sounds like a definite win to me.
