How does Woolnest support sustainability and local communities?

At Woolnest, we believe it is possible to create products that both improve the world and enrich the lives of our pets. Our cat houses are not only a comfortable and safe place for cats, but also an example of sustainability and social responsibility. In this blog, we will tell you how Woolnest is contributing to a better future – both for the environment and for the people in Nepal.

Sustainability: a conscious choice

The production of Woolnest cat houses is based on the use of 100% natural wool. This offers many advantages:

  1. Environmentally friendly materials:
    Wool is a renewable resource and biodegradable. Unlike synthetic materials, such as plastic, wool does not leave harmful residues in the environment.

  2. No chemicals:
    No harmful chemicals are used during the production process, meaning our cat houses are safe for both your cat and nature.

  3. Long life:
    The high quality of our cat houses ensures that they last a long time, which means less waste and a smaller ecological footprint.

Supporting local communities

What makes Woolnest truly unique is our partnership with Nepalese women living in villages at the foot of the Himalayas. Our cat houses are handmade in small workshops, and each house tells a story of care, craftsmanship and empowerment.

  1. Employment for women:
    In many villages in Nepal, women have limited economic opportunities. By working with these communities, we provide employment and a stable income, which allows families to improve their living conditions.

  2. Preservation of traditional crafts:
    The production of our cat houses uses age-old felting techniques. By supporting these skills, we help to preserve Nepal's cultural heritage.

  3. Contribution to social projects:
    Part of our proceeds goes to a Buddhist monastery in Nepal, where we support the education of young monks. In this way we contribute to a future of peace, harmony and education.
