Sanitize Cat Cages

If you care for cats in a group environment, such as a shelter or kennel, you want to make sure they stay healthy. Proper sanitizing is vital to keep the cats from spreading any illnesses among themselves or future occupants. Since cats are fastidious by nature, they will appreciate your efforts as well. With a bit of planning and the proper tools, you can get the job done quickly, with a minimum of disturbance to the cats.


Instructions


1. Remove any bedding, food and water dishes and cat litter boxes from the cage.


2. Spray disinfecting solution all over the inside of the cage. Be sure the solution is diluted properly per the instructions on the bottle.


3. Scrub the cage floor and sides thoroughly with the brush, spreading the cleaning solution throughout the cage.


4. Rinse the cage thoroughly with the wet towel.


5. Dry the cage thoroughly.


6. Provide clean, fresh water and food, fresh litter, and freshly laundered bedding, along with a toy for the cat.
