Catios | Outdoor Cat Enclosure

About

Catios—short for “cat patios”—are enclosed outdoor spaces designed to let indoor cats safely enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and natural stimulation. These secure structures protect pets from traffic, predators, and disease while reducing their impact on local wildlife, especially birds and small mammals. Perfect for urban balconies, suburban backyards, or rural gardens, catios come in all shapes and sizes—from compact window boxes to multi-level playgrounds with tunnels and perches. Whether DIY-built or professionally installed, they offer a blend of enrichment and safety that supports feline health, reduces stress, and extends lifespan.
