FRP - What is it and Why do you want it in your Sanctuary?

Fiberglass Reinforced Panel.  An alternative to wall paint, this miracle material is ideal for our needs.  During their stay at the Rescue Cottage, we want our animals to feel as though they are living in a home while they heal from their physical and emotional traumas.  A big part of that feeling of peace and relaxation is not being forced to live in a cage.  Having animals loose is so much better for their well-being, but it brings forth a variety of management challenges for the people caring for them.  Cats spray urine on walls, dogs scratch and chew at times; these are normal behaviors for rescued animals.  Naturally, our goal will be to teach our new friends more productive ways of expressing themselves.  In the meantime, we need to make sure we can clean up after them and provide an environment that is user friendly for these wonderful animals.  FRP is impervious to liquids, resists scratches and bite marks, and of vital importance to prevent disease transmission, it is 100 percent disinfectable.
