History, Philosophy

History:

InsideOut for Pets evolved from my personal desire to protect my cats from the growing number of speeding vehicles, coyotes and fishers found in the suburbs west of Boston, MA. My cats wanted to be out. I wanted them to live long and safe lives, but I did not want to confine them to my house.

InsideOut for Pets is my solution. My cats are happy going in and out at will. I have reduced the stress in my life knowing they're safe and happy.

My cats and I have spent many years designing and testing our products so you and your cats can enjoy the same relaxed and fun lifestyle.

Philosophy behind InsideOut for Pets:

InsideOut for Pets hopes to create more homes for homeless pets and hopes to educate the public in the importance of spaying and neutering all pets to reduce the horrendous number of animals euthanized every day.

InsideOut for Pets hopes to create a loyal following for our high standards and dedication to improving the lives of homeless pets as well as pets with homes.

InsideOut for Pets plans to become a leader in supporting and promoting "Best Friends Sanctuary" of Utah's crusade for "No more Homeless Pets".

InsideOut for Pets long term goal is to sponsor local animal welfare organizations, then statewide then nationwide, including but not limited to:

• Second Chance Fund for Animal Welfare, Bolton, MA,
• Merrimack River Feline Rescue, Amesbury MA,
• The Pat Brody Shelter for Cats, Lunenburg, MA
• M.S.P.C.A., Boston, MA,
• "Best Friends Sanctuary" Utah
• ASPCA

InsideOut for Pets plans to develop and sponsor programs, classes, and education in RESPONSIBLE pet ownership. The importance of spay, neuter, and adoptions for life. InsideOut for Pets plans to initiate a college campus challenge between all colleges to photograph, trap, socialize, spay neuter, and find good homes for all previously abandoned pets. This would include fund-raising, documentation, commitment, and judging, by the colleges themselves, for the best documented and most successful programs.

One of InsideOut for Pets goals is to convince landlords that pet owners who care about pets, also care about other people and their property, and make good tenants. And that pets that can go in and out (into an InsideOut module) are happy pets that do not destroy property. And that responsible pet owners who have spayed and neutered pets make good tenants and do not have to 'get rid' of their pets to live in their new apartment. This alone could reduce the number of pets being turned out to the streets, shelters, or given to unappreciative relatives by the thousands or millions every year.
