2023 Online Tour: Camp Bella
Landscape Architect Design / Unique Materials / 57’ of Suspended Catwalk
Kathy originally met with a landscape architect and expressed her desire to include a catio into the back yard’s design. It was important to her to maintain the aesthetics of the original structures and have it raised above the ground. She was inspired to build a catio during her backyard certification process so that both she and Bella could enjoy nature together, while helping to protect and increase the population of birds, butterflies, and other wildlife in her yard – and keep Bella safe too! She provided the design to the Catio Craftsman who took on the challenge to meet all of her and Bella’s preferences with a stunning result.

The Catio Tour is part of the Cats Safe at Home™ campaign, which seeks to reduce the number of cats living outdoors in the Portland metropolitan area in a humane and environmentally responsible manner. We believe that every cat deserves a safe home where they are loved, cared for, and kept free from hazards. The Catio Tour was created to offer inspiration for those looking for ways for their cats to have safe outdoor time. We hope you enjoy this year’s Catio Tour!
