This kitty high rise by global design firm HOK was the “Fan Favorite” of the Giving Shelter Event held to benefit FixNation, a non-profit organization operating the only free, full-time spay/neuter clinic in Los Angeles for stray and feral cats. Note the cat grass and carpeted surfaces for scratching.

Both you and your kitty can be sitting pretty on this bench/cat shelter by Space Int’l. With turf on the the floor and ceiling, elastic strings making up the exterior walls, and pillars of jute, your feline friend can be occupied for hours while you relax up on the roof.

Faux turf balconies may not be much appreciated in apartments for people, but they’re ideal for cats. This cat shelter by RNL architects gives kitty plenty of places to paw, perch and scratch.

We confess we can’t see kitty lounging on this sculptural cat structure, but the blue laces are stretchy enough to provide hours of entertainment for feline friends.

Architect Tara Donnelly of Wolcott Architecture created a series of colorful cat cubes with plenty of compartments and climbing space. Does her own fluffy little tabby (or any other cat) appreciate the colors? Donnelly said she’d researched the subject and found out that while not technically color blind, cats see certain colors and contrasts better than others, so she painted her house accordingly.

There are myriad navigation options on this modern architectural cat structure made of metal from the designers at Lehrer Architects.

This cat shelter made of wood is reminiscent of a fish, every kitty’s favorite. It also doubles as a bench for humans.

This concrete cat condo by Standard Architecture Design was another crowd (and kitty) favorite. It has a pop-up porch that doubles as a sunning surface.
