Veka Group fabricator and installer EVERGLADE of Wythenshawe has completed a 'pet project' of building and fitting almost 30 PVC-U -based cat pens at the Society for Abandoned Animals (SAA).

The company was asked to work on the project after the charity in Sale received a number of grants and legacy donations in the wills of supporters.

Deni Sirovica, co-owner at Everglade said: “We’re used to making home improvements in the area with our doors, windows and conservatories but this is the first time we've built and fit shelters for animals!

“It may seem like a strange choice to create animal pens in PVC-U but in fact it is a fantastic material for this type of structure.

The Veka profile we chose for the project is so good to work with as it can be customised to create the skeleton structure we need and fit flush into the space provided to promote a safe and sound environment for the cats.

“From a maintenance point of view, these frames couldn't be easier to clean and will never need to be repainted like traditional timber, which will mean volunteers can spend their time more wisely, looking after the cats in their care and trying to find them new homes.”

Sean Fogarty of SAA said: “Everglade is well-known in the area for its fantastic work when it comes to windows & doors. As a charity, we of course, rely on fundraising and donations for projects like this, so it was important for us to get a quality product fabricated and fit to the highest standard, yet within our budget. That's why we chose Everglade.

“Cats come to us for a variety of reasons and our priority is to get them to their 'forever homes' as soon as possible, but while they are here with us, we want them to be as content and comfortable as possible.”
