Humane Society Silicon Valley Community Cat Garden
Indigo designed this first-of-its-kind cat garden for the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. Teaming with leading veterinary experts from the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program, we learned to design an environment where human-shy feral or “garden cats” feel comfortable and where their human allies can still care for them. The garden, titled “Kona’s Spot in the Sun” features a curving straw bale wall with signage, mural, and portal-like windows where cats can perch and look out. A custom steel structure is an armature for security netting and retractable wave shades.
