Start with what you want to build
The right foundation for your cattery
Cat accommodation needs a secure junction between enclosure panels and floor, without openings that permit escape or trap paws. Boarding catteries also require surfaces that can be cleaned and disinfected effectively.
Escape-resistant edges
Panel lines and thresholds meet the floor without unsuitable gaps.

The structural base supports the specified sealed, non-slip and disinfectable finish.
Explore the details →No pooling
Falls and drains prevent wash water collecting or passing from one cat unit to another.

Levels and upstands keep bedding areas separate from run washdown and driven rain.

From first call to a finished foundation
Getting started is simple. We will guide you through the choices and explain any information needed before installation.
Talk through the options
We discuss the site and suitable foundations, identify any supplier information needed and provide a clear written quotation.
Install and hand over
Our team marks out and installs the agreed foundation, with the required checks before the next stage of your project.
Choose the foundation, not the complication
Foundation options for your cattery
These are the methods worth assessing for this application. The structure, support plan and actual ground determine the right choice—not a one-size-fits-all specification.
Concrete
Concrete foundation
A formed slab can incorporate unit falls, corridor levels and drainage channels beneath the cattery system.
Worth considering for: Licensed catteries and permanent multi-unit cat accommodation

Paving slabs
Paving-slab base
A sound slabbed base may suit a small private mesh run when it can be secured and maintained hygienically.
Worth considering for: Simple domestic catios and lightweight enclosures

What matters for your cattery

Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
For commercial boarding, take the cattery layout to the licensing authority before foundations make the arrangement difficult to alter.
Statutory guidance advises effective drainage and smooth waterproof internal surfaces; the final coating and fit-out should be specified with the cattery supplier.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.

Cattery Foundations FAQs
Current statutory guidance advises effective drainage and gives a gradient benchmark, but the approved design should confirm the project-specific falls and finish.
