Pet charity Blue Cross has opened the world's first Estate Agent For Cats exclusively designed for feline tenants.

This unique pop-up offers listings from an extravagant Taj Mahal to a quaint cottage and a Georgian manor. The houses, constructed of cardboard, have been lovingly created by a mixture of designers, retailers, journalists, bloggers, 3D design university students and even school children.

The pop up aims to highlight the importance for pets to have mental stimulation and a private place for some quiet time without disturbances.

'Cats are very inquisitive and love to explore new things, so most won't hesitate to jump inside a cardboard box,' says Ryan Neile, head of animal behaviour at Blue Cross. 'Owners often provide cardboard boxes for kittens to climb and play on and jump in and these early experiences create an affection for boxes in later life.

'Cats also love to hide and feel safe and secure, they will often seek out dark nooks and crannies with high sides.'

The cardboard box homes are currently on display to the public at PetsPyjamas' East London HQ and will come complete with detailed property descriptions and even floor plans.

These homes will also be up for sale via a silent auction ballot where each house will be given to the highest bidder. If you're unable to attend, you can register your interest online here. All proceeds will go towards helping the thousands of homeless, unwanted, sick and injured pets that Blue Cross care for each year.

If you fancy visiting, you can see the properties on offer at Estate Agent For Cats, 81 Leonard Street, London, EC2A 4QS from 26 April - 29 April between 10am - 4pm.
