Sustainability starts with creating a healthier indoor environment for our guests.
​
Our cat suites are built using durable, long-lasting materials, including particle board made from naturally recycled wood fibers, helping reduce the demand for new raw materials. All cat suites are finished with low-VOC paints and sealants to support better indoor air quality and minimize lingering odors, which is especially important for cats with sensitive respiratory systems.
​
We design our suites to be easy to clean and maintain, allowing for effective sanitation without relying on unnecessarily harsh products. By prioritizing materials that hold up over time, we reduce waste and avoid frequent replacement while keeping spaces comfortable and safe.
​
Beyond the suites themselves, we take a thoughtful approach to daily operations, focusing on responsible use of supplies, water, and energy. As a small, independently owned business, we believe sustainability is about making practical, intentional choices that support long-term care.
​
We’re committed to continuing to learn, improve, and evolve our practices as Whiskers Lodge grows.
