  • Kennel: Specifically for dogs, either a doghouse or a boarding facility.
  • Cattery: Specifically for cats, often a breeding or boarding home.
  • Stable: For horses, a building where they are kept and cared for.
  • Aviary: For birds, a large enclosure, especially for exotic species.
  • Aquarium: For fish and aquatic animals, a tank or facility.
  • Zoo: A facility for the care and display of wild animals.
  • Shelter: Temporary care for abandoned or homeless animals.
  • Farm: Where animals are raised for food or other purposes.
