The foster room is hard to divide so to have more space we had been using a pop up playpen in the living room. This mostly worked though they aren't the easiest things to clean. After some thought (and a pop up being destroyed), mom started looking for a better solution. She found a crate but furniture piece. It looks nice but is functional.
However, it was very short. Obviously since its meant for dogs. However a kitten could get in a back corner and was just harder to catch. Like all foster plans, there are always many steps as you look for a workable solution.
First step - can it be taller? Bed riser for the win. However that created a new problem ' space under the crate.
You wouldn't think this was a huge deal, but if the kittens were to have more space to run around they can't be allowed underneath or they will escape into the house. So block the front. After some thoughts, cardboard seemed the easiest first choice.
From there is was use the tall tespo panels as walls and we have a new fix. It did take a couple of tries on where to attach the panels so the kittens can't climb the crate to escape.
This set up is with supervision only. If no one is home they are in the crate. But for right now this is working pretty well.
You've got a huge dollop of ingenuity!
