Check the hottest part of the day

Look at direct sun, shade and ventilation when the room is warmest. Cats Protection's warm-weather guidance stresses avoiding hot enclosed spaces. Do not leave a cat shut in a conservatory or rely on a cooling mat to make an unsuitable room safe.

Review cooler and damp conditions too

Check for condensation, draughts and moisture beneath the furniture. Follow the product's intended indoor-use and care requirements. An indoor tower should not be assumed weather-resistant because it sits behind glass.

Keep doors and windows secure

Make sure ventilation does not create an escape or fall risk. Position climbing furniture away from openings and blind cords. Check that someone closing an internal door cannot accidentally remove the cat's route back into the home.

Keep essentials in dependable locations

Do not make access to water, litter or the only resting place depend on a room with changing conditions. Maintain suitable alternatives elsewhere. If the cat shows signs of heat illness, contact a vet immediately and follow their advice.

Choose a dependable room position for The Velvet Nest or the tower collection. Treat the conservatory as a space to assess, not an automatic year-round cat room.
