Lost

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Lost Dogs' Home, founded in 1910 in North Melbourne, Australia, is the country's largest animal shelter, caring for over 31,000 dogs and cats annually. Originally established to provide temporary shelter for lost dogs, it now also caters to stray and unwanted cats.

Background
The shelter is a strong advocate for animal welfare, promoting responsible pet ownership and lobbying for fair animal laws to reduce the number of abandoned animals.

Solution and Innovation
To improve conditions for cats, The Lost Dogs' Home installed 32 Cat Condos, which significantly reduced the incidence of cat flu from 15% to 3%. These condos feature an innovative design with off-set tempered glass that allows air flow while preventing the spread of cat sneezes. The design also includes en-suite bathrooms and separate air spaces to enhance cat comfort and reduce respiratory diseases.

Expansion and Facilities
Following the success of the Cat Condos, the shelter expanded by purchasing an adjacent building to create the new Lost Cats' Home. This facility includes 150 Cat Condos, an examination and treatment area, and an isolation ward. The design aims to provide a zoo-like experience with three-story condos and artwork, enhancing the environment for both cats and visitors.

Conclusion
The Lost Dogs' Home continues to innovate and expand its facilities to provide better care for animals, maintaining its position as a leader in animal welfare in Australia.
