Abstract
A cage guard which is adaptable to a variety of cage shapes and types is described in the present invention. The cage guard is a flexible form composed of a nonporous bottom portion, an optional nonporous side portion, a porous side portion, and means to secure the cage guard to a cage. The cage guard is produced in such a way that it conforms to the cage. This gives the cage guard the advantageous property of keeping debris and excretions inside the cage so the animal can be enjoyed in a clean, sanitary way.
