Upcycled mobile shelters give Cairo's cats new homes
An eco-friendly way to keep street cats warm
Location tag: Giza, Egypt
The upcycled shelters are made of old tires
The tires provide thermal insulation shielding cats during the cold winter
(Arabic) DESIGNER, IBRAHIM ABOUGENDY, SAYING:
"They (cats) live in very difficult conditions. As we can see, there is snowfall and heavy rainfall in Egypt as a result of climate change. We are trying to be one step ahead for stray animals who are at risk.They need to be protected from the temperature. Even 10 degrees warmer will make a huge difference for them."
The prototypes can house five cats each
The designer has already set them in Cairo's streets
