I never saw this as a cat house - only realised when I saw the sign on the side of the building. Do you know when it stopped being a cat house? Presumably it was empty for a while before the Tasmanian Devil exhibit was built (I think it opened 2009?).

Probably completely around 2006/07 maybe? (the fishing cats moved to Wild Asia and I think the last species left was the tree shrews)

Thanks. Did the tree shrews just die out, or were they transferred? I had a look at my maps, and the Tasmanian Devil exhibit says "opening 2009" on the June 2009 one, but then "opening soon" on the May 2010 one, so I guess it didn't open until 2010.

Regarding tree shrews, not sure to be honest!
 
I have a photo of it still under construction in February 2010, but it was open by October of that year. The previous occupants were probably moved out in 2008 or early 2009.

:p
