- Individual air exchangers in every housing area
- Small-group cat housing for healthy socialization
- Protected outdoor spaces (catios) for cats
- Larger dog kennels with 24/7 outdoor access
- Indoor meet-and-greet and exercise space for dogs
- A community room for training, education, and events
