Cats Safe at Home is a collaborative effort to humanely reduce outdoor cats and engage our community with ideas and information that value cats and wildlife.
catios keep cats safe!
A catio (“cat patio”) is an outdoor enclosure that keeps cats and birds and wildlife safe. Catios offer cats healthy exercise time as well as safety from outdoor hazards like cars, predators and poisons. It’s a win-win!
Our website has a variety of resources, including construction ideas, links for contractors and DIY projects, and be sure to check out our annual Catio Tour!
Get Involved
Cat overpopulation in the Portland metro area can be reduced, and we can do it with your help! The first thing all cat owners and caregivers can do is spay/neuter their cats. Next, find alternatives to letting your cat roam unsupervised.
Why it Matters
Every cat deserves a safe home where they are loved, cared for, and kept free from hazards, yet tens of thousands of stray and feral cats roam our urban landscape, vulnerable to a variety of risks. They are also preying on our native habitat. We seek to address the challenges of cat overpopulation in a way that is both humane and environmentally responsible.
