Choosing cat catios & outdoor enclosures

Plan the usable living area using the adult animal's measurements and the space needed for furnishings. Check openings, latches and ventilation, plus clearance for routine access and cleaning.

Useful details to compare include weight range, height, base footprint, scratching surface, and wall-fixing requirements. Use product-specific measurements and compatibility details to narrow the choice for your setup.

Match the design to your setup

When comparing a catio, check the listed dimensions, intended use and care instructions for each individual design.

Compare panel spacing, mounting requirements and materials with the intended species, location and supervision arrangements.

For related equipment, explore cat trees, scratchers & furniture and compare how the pieces fit your routine.
