Purr...fect Fence Testimonials

Keith & Elaine Rahn – Sullivan, Wisconsin

The Purr…fect fencing for cats has been the product that does what it advertises. We were looking for two things for our cats. Give them an area outside to play in and keep them safe. Being out in the country, speed limits are 45-55mph. Cats many times are simply too inquisitive for their own good. We wanted an area where we could feel comfortable in leaving them outside without the worry of them escaping into danger. The Purr…fect fencing system has met that need in a way that goes to the next level. It is aesthetically pleasing as well.

The installation took work but was much easier than I had anticipated. We put in 4 kits (400 feet). The posts are the foundation of any fencing system and this install was easy to set the posts and easy to plumb the posts. The fencing material itself went up well and the arched tops were great. Our cats look but never test the fence. We have a horse pasture directly behind the cat enclose and we can still enjoy the view of the horses.

I lived many years in different parts of the country including California, Colorado and Florida. Everywhere I lived I had neighbors that complained about my cats and I had many cats that just disappeared. My dream was to have a place where my cats could live outside and be safe and not be a bother to anyone. The time finally came when I was preparing to move back home to Alabama and I discovered the cat fence on the Purr…fect Fence website. That, immediately, became part of my plan. We totally enclosed the back yard with the "Houdini-Proof Fence" 18 months ago. We have 11 cats that now live inside this safe enclosed area. Not one has ever gotten out. We love our Purr…fect Fence!

Your Purr...Fect Fence is indeed Houdini proof. After his first day of sanctioned freedom, our “Houdini” has given up even trying to escape. He is so very happy that it's not worth his effort to even attempt a "break." Our three female cats are in heaven as well.

We humans are equally pleased. We no longer have to "catch the cat" at the door when we enter or exit. We are now even able to enjoy an evening on the patio without listening to the guilt provoking meows of the rest of the family stuck inside of the house.

Our guests are less likely to mistakenly let one of the insistent darlings out of the non-enclosed front door, because the thrill of escape is not really present anymore. It's just too much trouble. A short walk to the back, (enclosed) door produces the same lovely effect.

Yes, we are all experiencing much less stress, worry, and now have freedom. Thank you in equal parts from the humans and all of the felines in our family!

Hi. We put up our Purrfect fence and absolutely LOVE IT (many purrs)! We enclosed our front yard, side yard, and most of the back yard. We live on acreage and have always been worried about other ’animals’ harming our cats when we let them out. We stopped letting them outside last fall. Now they get to go out every day! Our oldest cats are now more active than they have been in years! They finally feel safe outside. I sit on our patio in the morning and have my coffee and enjoy having them all around me. Thank you for an AWESOME product!

Marcia Scott – Marston’s Mills, Massachusetts

I'm sending along a few photos of my cats enjoying the outside protected by their wonderful Purr..fect Fence! I have been a member of a group that rescues ferals and strays and we have rescued and adopted out many cats.. but I've also kept many... I now have seven cats! And I used to let them out thinking I lived in a safe neighborhood and some of the cats were semi-feral and really needed to be outside... but then one of my cats disappeared and I was heartbroken. I have now moved to a new house and decided I had to have a way to let the cats out but have them be safe. I looked into several fences and then found your site when I was doing a search on the internet and it seemed like the perfect solution. So I ordered one and put it up 2 months ago and the cats are SO happy to be outside and we are SO happy to watch them outside knowing they are safe. I can't tell you what a relief it has been and how grateful we are for your product. There is nothing else like it. And we also appreciate that the fence is just about invisible and does not obstruct the view of our pretty back yard. We thank you for your product and our cats thank you! Take a look at them enjoying themselves....

Hollida Wakefield Underwager, Northfield, Minnesota

For nearly 30 years my cats lived happily as indoor-outdoor cats on my place five miles out of town in the country. It was an ideal existence for them. My land borders a river and a wilderness area and they were far from a major road and cars. But one week in the fall of 2003 two of the cats suddenly disappeared. I looked for them and called them until my neighbor told me that a pack of coyotes had moved into our area. I confined the remaining cats to the house while I tried to find a solution other than making them indoor-only cats. The cats continually tried to get outside during this time.

Thank you so much for developing such a wonderful product! When we moved to our new home, four of our cats started to spray in the house. They now enjoy their own 'kitty cottage' and wonderful fenced in area outside. They have been in their enclosure for a year now, and have never escaped. We love the fence as it blends into the landscape. We are happy and our cats are happy! Life is good!

Wendy & Bill Shepherd– Atlanta, Georgia

We put our Purr…fect Fence up in front of our pre-existing wooden fence for our 5 cats this past week-end. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you. It also solved a big problem that we have been having with our 9 month old Airedale. Ezzy our dog that used to be attached to our hip does not want to come in the house any more. He loves to stay outside and do cat patrol. He sits by the fence like he is protecting a herd and circles the cat enclosure periodically.

Please find enclosed some conventional photos and a CD (the conventional photos have also been scanned and added to the CD) with pictures of some of our cats enjoying their yard, made possible by Purr..fect Fence. We have 6 cats and are thrilled to be able to offer them the opportunity to experience the joy, excitement and stimulation of being outside without having to worry that something bad will happen to them. We are too attached to our cats to take that chance.

We have installed kitty doors to allow them free access to their yard, and they spend many hours a day out there. Even our most athletic cat, Charlie, has been unable to “Houdini” his way out of the fence, in spite of his many efforts.

Our cats enjoy the stimulation they receive from being outside. They like watching birds, chipmunks, squirrels and deer that frequent our property. While our cats can watch these critters, they cannot bother them-our bird feeders are on the other side of the cat fence.

Sometimes they enjoy catching bugs and chasing each other outside, often zooming around at full speed, which is great exercise for them. At other times they prefer to simply relax, lounge and catch a catnap in the safety of their Purr..fect Fence. We are so happy we chose to invest in Benner’s Purr..fect Fence. It expands the amount of living space that is available to our cats, which is so important in a multi-cat household such as ours.

So, thank you for developing such a wonderful product—it affords us peace of mind in knowing that our cats are safe and happy. We fully endorse the Purr..fect Fence!

(in loving memory of my best pal, Bart)

Don’t wait. Don’t tell yourself you will do this tomorrow; you and your pet may not have a tomorrow together. I’m sitting here looking out the patio door at my three cats playing so happily in my safely enclosed backyard. I should be looking at my four cats, but one (Bart) is no longer with me. He was a free spirit and there was no way I could keep him indoors. Bart was my special guy, the feral kitten I raised and loved more than all the others (shhhh, don’t tell them that). One day he roamed into the neighbor’s yard and ingested poison. The vets tried everything but could not save him. He died in my arms.

I now have my Purrfect Fence installed. I thought about doing it for months, but just couldn’t bring myself to take that first step and order it – a mistake with deadly consequences. It is so wonderful to now know that my cats can enjoy the glorious outdoors and be safe. The stress level in the household is gone. Everyone is happy!

For those who are sitting on the fence (so to speak), I hope you will make the decision to purchase this fantastic product – NOW! Your cats will love you for it and they will be around a lot longer so you can love them back.

We received everything we ordered and needed quickly. Installation for the most part went well, the main problem we had was with the hardness of our ground - maybe you could develop heavy duty poll inserts and stakes for those of us in the desert :)

But the best part is we LOVE OUR CAT YARD!! We have six cats and have always believed that although it is dangerous to let cats outside, they love to be outside and are healthier. So, we let them out, always worried something would happen to them (which it did to a couple) and figured a short life outside was better than a long life trapped indoors.

When we erected out cat fence we did not know how the cats would take to it - if they would try to escape, etc. But, after a short adjustment period, they are very content, the oldest (13 years old) to the youngest (just over one year old). Even my most restless wanderer never even made an attempt to escape! They have a cat door to go in and out of the house at will, and can now stay out all night on warm summer nights.

We can also now feed birds without being guilty of luring them to their death.

I would highly recommend the fence to every cat owner, it is definitely the best of both worlds for them, and are very content within their yard. We are considering adding on to the size of the enclosure in the future with additional fencing from you.

Thanks for a great product!

In the recent past, we had a couple of heart-breaking incidences with coyotes, which drove us to find a way to enclose our fourteen cats. Click here for complete story...

"We love our fence….Our 40 cats have not even attempted to climb it – It seems to provide some sort of visual deterrent. We now eat lunch outside with the cats, and it gives everyone a break and makes it a lot less crowded in our facility. The cats enjoy being outside so much that we have to entice them with food to get them back inside!

We feel real safe about them being out there, are thrilled with our fence, and recommend it to everyone that comes to visit our cat shelter.”

Louise Dunham, Concord, NH

Late last summer, a stray kitty adopted us. He was very thin and his ears were all bloody from weeks of scratching due to a terrible case of ear mites. Since we had just lost our beloved “Whiskers” earlier in the summer from a coyote attack, I decided that this cat would be an indoor cat. After a week of constant meowing, I decided it was selfish of me to keep “Honey Bunches of Kitty” inside since he was used to the outdoors. Click here for complete story...

Regina Wells is a CAD/CAM engineer who does 3D graphic modeling of Navy ships-pretty complicated stuff. One of her primary job responsibilities is conducting research on the web. What in the world does this have to do with getting a fence so that your cats can safely enjoy the outdoors? Here’s Regina’s fascinating and wonderful story…

Diane Longacre – Reading, PA

At my previous home, a town home, I took in two stray cats from the development. There I would reluctantly let them outside once a day in the morning, praying they would be safe till they came back. Recently, in June, I moved to a new home that sits on a moderately traveled roadway. I new I could not let them out, even though they loved to be outside. I went on the internet and found your website and purchased the fence.

Now my cats can go out anytime they want and they love it. There is a tree within my fence and Wildlife like squirrels come inside the fence and amuse my cats. My cats are as happy as ever and I can relax knowing they are safe. This is money spent that I feel was worth every penny. It is also a great conversation piece for friends, relatives and business associates (my business is in my home). People stop by just to see my cat fence! I, Lucky & Gracie say THANKS!

S. Black, Monroe Twp., NJ

Our two cats, Nottingham and Tyra absolutely love the Purr…fect Fence. They are Bengals and accidentally got a taste of the outdoors when Nottingham figured out how to open the front door. I kept blaming my children and husband for leaving the door open. Ever since that incident, they would cry consistently to go out. Since we’ve gotten the Purr….fect Fence, they are outside from 6:30 in the morning until we go to bed. I even bring them their food outdoors!

I rescued a mother cat & her three babies about 4 yrs. ago. Since we already had six cats in the house, I decided to have a shed built for these four, and to use a KittyWalk so they could go outside. Well, the KittyWalk worked alright, even though the cats were very limited in where they could go outside because the KittyWalk wasn't very large. But it served its purpose until this year, when the cotton netting started to unravel, and Max got out twice, and Scratch (his little sister) got out once. We live on a four-lane state route which gets busy for parts of the day, and I was afraid if they got out again, they might go in the road and get hit. So I started checking in my Cat Fancy magazines for something else, and found Purr…fect Fence. I ordered it and a gate, and my brother-in-law and I installed it a few weeks ago.

In the few weeks the Purr…fect Fence has been up, my four kitties really enjoy it. They can eat grass, lounge on the chair, or just lie on the grass. I've always gone out & visited with them everyday for about two hours. Now, I spend part of the time in the Purr…fect Fence and part in the shed. They hardly come inside anymore. I feel better knowing they're protected by this fence because we have raccoons, stray cats, and other animals around there. I think they're more relaxed having a larger area to play outside. Scratch used to go out and pace back and forth like we've all seen images of caged animals doing, and I was concerned she was starting to be bored, so I had to do something.

My cats and I thank you for this great product.

Since installing Benner's Purr...Fect Fence, we have peace of mind knowing our cats are safe being outside. Safe in their own yard; safe from getting hit by a car or Grain Truck, safe from ornery neighborhood kids, safe from other stray cats, and safe from Animal Control. Many of our cats are rescues and former feral cats who prefer to be outside. And as our home filled up with more rescues and ferals, the more we needed to provide them a safe outdoor environment to escape to for their peace of mind as much as ours! We ran into several "site specific challenges" Matt mentioned in the installation video, but we worked them out and couldn't be happier with the finished product! THANK YOU!

Cherie Sauer

I stumbled upon the Purrfect Fence during a desperate attempt to find some type of outside enclosure that offered not only protection for my eight year old cats, but also enough space for them to enjoy the outdoors. As soon as I found your fence I knew I had the purrfect solution to my dilemma. Since installed, the cats can go outside at will. They bask in the sun, chase lizards, and chat with the birds resting on the top of the fence. Mostly they enjoy being with me while I'm outside instead of staring longingly out the window. Thanks to your design, my cats have discovered--at an adult age--what it's like to truly enjoy the outdoors in complete safety. I wish I had found this fence years ago as I firmly believe that they are happier, more active, and more satisfied since being freed from the confines of four walls.

Our cats just LOVE their new kitty environment within the Purr…fect Cat Fence! We are working on landscaping the area so that it provides plenty of shade and comfort. Here are a few shots of them enjoying a lazy summer afternoon. They have their own sand trap area and lounge chairs! Leni enjoys lying on top of the table under his umbrella, while Tedi takes a shady seat on the chair. Ahh summer!!! All they need is a little catnip iced tea! Thanks again for providing us with a purrfect solution for creating a natural habitat for our cats!

Frani, Phippsburg, MA

I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU, for coming up with the design of Purr…fect Fence. I recently moved from NJ to Maine in the woods near the ocean and after three months of listening to three cats whine to go outside I made the decision to let my indoor/outdoor cats out.

Cindy , Garden Valley, CA

Oh thank you! I am amazed out how well this fencing has worked out, yet is pleasing to the eye. The resilience of the material is incredible too. After a year and half, no wildlife have breeched the fencing.

The netting I used on the top was from a different company because at that time I do not believe you had the outside extensions. I’m not happy with that netting, so I will be using your system this time for the back fencing. Anyway, people are amazed by it, and a couple in Sacramento actually bought some of it for their cat rescues in their back yard. I hope to get more sales going for the animals sake!

Sheila, MA

"Thanks to Benner's Purr-fect Fence, these lucky cats in Wellesley, Massachusetts get to safely enjoy the outdoors.

We definitely recommend Purr-fect Fence to animal lovers, Purr-fect Fence is almost invisible, easy to install, cost effective, and best of all, the cats don't like to climb it.

Meow (Thanks), Purr-fect Fence!

Donna M. Fenza, Glen Mills, PA

Please be advised that I am 100% happy with all the aspects of your company, its product and services, especially Matt. I have three (3) cats/siblings, which have been used to roaming our property for about 13 years now. The population of the fox is tremendous and one of the cats is blind. I have grown extremely concerned about their safety. I had to make a decision and was real upset, as I didn’t know what to do as far as confinement. Click here for complete story...

Rick & Dianne Wolstencroft, Smithfield, RI.

The purr...fect cat fencing is the best investment we have made for our cats. We live in a rural area of Rhode Island and have seen many wild animals cross our backyard (coyotes, fishers, fox, etc.) This fence has kept our 5 cats safe from the local wildlife yet able to enjoy the outside at the same time. I intend to increase the area they are able to roam since this fencing has worked out so well. It's easy to install and took about 1 day to enclose a 100 ft area.

Ken Fuhs, Seattle, WA

The fence went up really easy and the directions were clear and concise. I really like it. Don't have to worry about my cats escaping. I got it mainly for my highly territorial male who was always getting into fights. My vet bills last year cost me more than the two fence kits I bought!

Cynthia Harvey , Acton, MA

I have had my 3 acres enclosed for 4 years, and I have 10 cats! Purr-fect Cat Fence has been highly effective at keeping out predators, who would injure my cats, such as weasels, coyote, fox, etc. It also has been effective at keeping my cats enclosed.

"We have 15 cats, some of them feral that we have rescued and this enclosure has really met our needs to secure our cat population."

Irene Hardwicke Olivieri, Bend, Oregon

Our next door neighbors cat was taken by a coyote, and that is what inspired us to get the fence. A friend in Connecticut told me about your company. Before discovering it, I had searched in pet stores and could find nothing that was big enough. Click here for complete story...

""We've been sending Purr...fect Fence brochures home with new kittens absesses, HBC's and dog attacks. I have it in my backyard and the cats love it while it eases my mind. My yard does not look like a prision or a wrecking yard. Purr...fect Fence is attractive and non-obtrusive- no escapes!"

Susan Frisch, Dessin Animal Shelter, Honesdale, PA

"The cats are thrilled to be outside for part of the day. We put the kittens out in the morning and the older cats out in the afternoon. It's so great to watch them feeling free and playing in the fresh air."

Cindy Hereth, Kitty Haven Sanctuary, Garden Valley, CA

"This fencing keeps our cats safe from wildlife and even allows us to keep our goats enclosed in the two acre area."

Maria Burley, Stray and Feral Friends, Leesburg, GA

"I'm very grateful for this fence and what it has allowed us to do for the strays."

Anna Tedesco-Lovino, Kent, WA

"I have 15 cats, that I have rescued, who are totally happy and protected in the enclosure. I would highly recommend this product for the protection of cats."

Waring Abbottm Greenwood Lake, NY

"I’m a happy Benner’s (Purr-fect Fence) customer (40 acres)! Up for a whole year, I have referred several people to the website and am always glad to spread the word. Interesting to see that you now have a dedicated cat fencing, since what I installed the ‘giant’ deer fencing for, is my cats – wanted to keep them in and the dogs out."

Cynthia Harvey, Acton, MA

"I have had my 3 acres enclosed for 4 years, and I have 10 cats! Purr-fect Fence has been highly effective at keeping out predators, who would injure my cats, such as weasels, coyote, fox, etc. It also has been effective at keeping my cats enclosed"

Sally and Jeff Hutchins, Ashley ,Ohio

"We really do like the fence. It gives our cat the freedom to be outside although we still do not let her out when one of us is not home. While we are home, she is out all the time.

We had an invisible fence before we saw your fence in the Cat Fancy Magazine. The invisible fence worked but she was confined to an area and had to wear a collar which would shock her if she got too close to the area outside the fence.

With your fence, she does not have to wear the collar and we do not have to worry about her being zapped by the invisible fence . This is GREAT ! We have told several people about your fence and how it has worked for us and for Sassy.

Thanks again! "
