Custom Enrichment Accessories

A catio isn’t just walls and mesh, it’s an environment designed to enrich your cat’s life.

We design and hand-build custom outdoor-grade accessories like bridges, shelves, scratching posts, and hammocks.

Every element is tailored to your cat’s age, mobility, and personality, so your catio isn’t just safe, it’s fun.

Frequently asked questions

01
While general contractors or deck builders may be skilled in their fields, they aren’t experts in designing safe, functional, and enriching cat enclosures.

Catios are a niche project with a lot of moving parts that differ from traditional building. You don't want someone learning the ins and outs of the catio world on your project. With these builds keeping your cats lives safe it's better to not take the risk. Think of it this way: you wouldn’t hire a fence builder to remodel your kitchen, the same applies to catios.

At The Catio Company, we specialize exclusively in catios, it’s what we do full-time. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured contractors in Oregon and Washington, and every project is custom-designed and built by us with cat safety, durability, and enrichment in mind.
02
Hiring local matters. Out-of-state companies often subcontract their projects to random builders (deck or fence contractors) who aren’t experienced in catio construction. This leads to compromised quality, the wrong materials, and no attention to enrichment.

On top of that, their pricing is usually much higher, and communication becomes stressful since you’re dealing with both the company and subcontractors. With The Catio Company, you work directly with us from start to finish, and we’re close by to provide ongoing support.

Choosing a local builder means better pricing, stronger quality control, and peace of mind knowing your cats are truly safe.
03
We’ve been building catios for over five years and have completed more than a hundred custom cat enclosures across Oregon and Washington. What sets us apart is that we’re true cat people, we live with cats, we understand their behaviors and instincts, and we know what keeps them happy, safe, and enriched.

Every one of our catios is thoughtfully designed with enrichment in mind. From custom perches and ramps to hammocks, bridges, and scratching posts, we create layouts that match your cats’ ages, personalities, and activity levels. Beyond the accessories, our structures are built with the right materials for the Pacific Northwest climate.

In short, our catios are more than outdoor enclosures, they’re safe, enriching, and long-lasting retreats designed to give your cats the best quality of life.
