RESCUE
EVERY TEN WALLS CREATE ANOTHER WORLD
TEN HOMES. ONE COMPLETE RESCUE ENVIRONMENT.
After every ten Signature ASCENT walls or larger qualifying commissions, Cattora creates and donates a complete exercise environment to a selected rescue centre. This is not a contribution towards a future project. It is a finished Cattora environment with a commercial value of $54,000, created for rescue cats and delivered to the centre that will use it. Each of the ten qualifying commissions represents one-tenth of that completed environment: $5,400 of Cattora product value. Ten homes receive environments designed around their own cats. Then rescue cats receive a world of their own.
48 FEET OF WALL. THREE CONTINUOUS LEVELS.
The environment follows three sides of a twenty-foot module:
- 20 feet along the first wall
- 8 feet across the end wall
- 20 feet along the opposite wall
Internal corner connectors carry the routes around both corners, creating 48 continuous feet of wall that the cats can travel without returning to the floor.
The system is repeated at three heights:
- a low route for cautious, younger or less agile cats
- a middle route for exploration and everyday movement
- a high route for confident climbers, fast movement and observation
Together, they create 144 feet of elevated routes. Cats can move between the low, middle and high levels using carefully positioned ramps, steps and climbing components.
There is no single route to defend and no unavoidable dead end. Alternative pathways, resting destinations and multiple ascent and descent points allow each cat to choose how it moves through the environment.
144 FEET OF FREEDOM. ONE COMPLETE CAT WORLD.
CREATED FOR THE CATS WHO WILL USE IT
A rescue environment is not assembled from four identical domestic collections.
Before production begins, Cattora works from the room, the expected number of cats and the needs identified by the rescue centre. The accessory collection is then curated specifically for that environment.
External corner components may be unnecessary. Internal corner connectors may be required at all three levels. A centre caring for older or less mobile cats may need more ramps and wider resting platforms. Another may benefit from faster routes, additional climbing components or more separated sleeping areas.
The complete environment includes:
- 48 Cattora wall panels
- four connected 12-foot ASCENT wall systems
- 208 individually selected Cattora accessories
- six internal corner connectors, with two corners connected at three heights
- continuous low, middle and high routes
- alternative pathways and escape routes
- climbing, running, exploration, observation and resting areas
- secure anti-escape entrance vestibule
- fitted, practical flooring
- numbered installation plan
- removable numbered positioning labels
- laser distance measure
- safety, loading and route guidance
Every accessory has its catalogue number manufactured permanently into its reverse side. The number cannot fall off, become separated from the component or be forgotten years later.
MEASURE. LABEL. MATCH. INSTALL.
The installation system is designed so that the rescue centre does not need a specialist Cattora team to position 208 accessories.
The final Cattora plan identifies every accessory by number and gives its exact position.
The installer uses the supplied laser distance measure to locate that position and applies the corresponding low-tack numbered label to the wall. Once the complete environment has been labelled, every position can be checked before a single accessory is installed.
The installer then finds the matching number manufactured into the back of the accessory, removes the label and drops the component into position.
If the wall displays six labels marked 17, the installer finds the six accessories marked 17. No guessing which step, ramp or platform belongs where.
The number on the wall matches the number on the accessory. When the rescue team wants to create a different experience, Cattora can provide another tested layout and a new set of positioning labels using the collection the centre already owns.
FIND THE NUMBER. MATCH THE NUMBER. CHANGE THE WORLD
A PLACE TO MOVE, REST AND BEGIN AGAIN
Rescue cats can spend long periods in restricted accommodation while waiting for adoption. The Cattora environment gives compatible cats, under the centre's supervision, room to climb, walk, run, explore, observe and withdraw.
One cat may choose the highest route. Another may remain on the gentler lower level. Some will run. Some will climb. Some will find a protected sleeping destination and simply rest above the activity.
The routes can be changed as the group changes. A cautious group can begin with shorter gaps and gentler transitions. A younger, more confident group can receive faster pathways and more demanding climbs.
The installation is not one permanent arrangement. It is an environment the rescue team can continue adapting around the cats in its care.
SECURE FROM THE FIRST DOOR
The complete environment includes a secure entrance vestibule.
The external doors open into a small enclosed entrance. A person enters and closes the first door before opening the second door into the cat environment. The two-stage entrance reduces the risk of a cat escaping while people, food or equipment move in and out.
The recipient provides an appropriate prepared site and arranges any permits, unloading, foundations or hard standing, electrical connection and climate-control equipment required for its location.
The rescue centre remains responsible for animal selection, group size, supervision, cleaning and daily operation.
CIRCUIT AND SANCTUM
Every donated environment begins with the complete $54,000 core installation.
Additional patrons may help fund equipment selected for a particular rescue centre:
- CIRCUIT for cats that need sustained running as well as climbing
- SANCTUM for automated waste separation and simpler daily servicing
These additions are funded and reported separately. They are not substituted for any part of the core environment.
SEE WHERE IT WhEN
Cattora will document every completed rescue environment.
Customers and patrons will be shown:
- the rescue centre that received it
- the completed specification
- what was supplied
- what additional patron funding purchased
- relevant invoices and receipts
- photographs of the completed environment
- videos of the cats using it, where provided by the centre
When additional contributions are collected for a CIRCUIT, SANCTUM or another named requirement, those funds will be connected to that specific project. The amount received, the item purchased and the centre receiving it will be shown openly.
You should never have to wonder whether it happened.
You will be able to see the environment, see where it went and see the cats whose world it changed.
COMPLETE COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT: $54,000
Rescue organisations, animal-welfare facilities and other suitable organisations may also commission the complete physical environment directly from Cattora.
The $54,000 commercial specification includes:
- the complete modular structure
- 48 feet of fitted Cattora wall panels
- 208 curated accessories
- three interconnected route levels
- six internal corner connectors
- secure anti-escape entrance vestibule
- fitted flooring
- numbered installation plan and labels
- laser distance measure
- delivery within the confirmed service area
Site preparation, permits, unloading requirements, foundations or hard standing, utilities, climate control, staffing, insurance and animal operations remain the responsibility of the purchaser.
Cattora supplies the environment. It does not operate the facility.

THIS IS WHAT YOUR COMMISSION HELPED CREATE
Every Signature ASCENT begins with one household and the cats who live there.
Every tenth qualifying commission completes something larger: another environment, another rescue centre and another group of cats given room to move.
