Cat shelter

A movement starts with one.

For those unfamiliar, a catio or cat patio is a secure outdoor enclosure for cats. This outdoor space gives pet cats fresh air and stimulation, while still providing them with safety. Cats enjoy exploring the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors without the risks of traffic, predators, or getting lost. This reduces stress, boredom, and unwanted behaviors that can develop in strictly indoor cats. Catios also help protect local wildlife, since cats are natural hunters and can harm bird and small animal populations when allowed to roam freely. For owners, a catio provides peace of mind, knowing their pets are healthy, enriched, and safe while still enjoying nature.

Are permits needed to add a catio to your home?
