Title: Need a new kitten pen, are ones selling in Argos any good?
Post by: Canterbury_cats (Sharon) on August 06, 2007, 17:53:08 PM: Hi all
Need to buy a medium size kitten/cat pen.. I see that Argos now does dog ones and they seem to be similar to the ones we have brought before but much cheaper... MD exports are around 60 quid.. Any body know of cheaper ones on the web?

My old plastic one is getting rusty! and everyone else is using theres.

At the risk of mentioning freecycle to you why don't you put out a wanted post on your local site?

Don't forget I've still got the kitten pen you leant me. ;)

I bought mine from here: http://www.caninekennels.com/~sa_webapp/run.asp?page=3567 (http://www.caninekennels.com/~sa_webapp/run.asp?page=3567) its really solid and the tray is hardy too. The delivery took a while as it was out of stock at the time but overall service A1.

Ebay had loads but all the holes were again too big for small kittens.

Thats a very kind offer. But i am Kent way. Is there any chance you may be able to find how much it would could to post/courier it this way and i reinburse you with the cost?
Just a thought!
