Catio 1: Reclaimed Refuge | DIY

Concerned with adding a permanent structure to her house, Kerry decided to plan something that could be moved if she ever decided to sell her house. This prefab dog kennel provides a perfect starting point to catify the outdoors for those who are renting or looking for something less permanent. Time and patience yielded an immense collection of reclaimed materials that make this catio uniquely enriching for her kitties and truly inspiring for catio builders.

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!
