Catio Outdoor Cat Enclosure 28ft² Large for Multiple Cats Wooden Cat House Outside Kitty Condon Cat Run Weatherproof

I’ll give it five stars because it’s not expensive and was a lot easier than building our own. It’s a little flimsy and we’ll see how it holds up in a storm but for now it’s good. Spacious, went together easily. We live somewhat rural and it’s nice to have a space for the kitty to go outside and still be safe from predators. We decorated it with very inexpensive fake grass from Home Depot, a cat scratcher, some toys and a cushion cover with towels in it to pad the wooden platforms.

I have had professional catios built at two prior homes. Spending thousands of dollars on each. I now live in a small space and wanted a safe outdoor space for my two cats. This was on sale with $80 off but with the $200 shipping charge came to $676.00 for the 6X9 unit. I spent an additional $220 for the ground covering as it was just dirt. I leveled the dirt and installed a cloth ground cover to repel weeds topped with 1/2 yard of small gravel and then a nice astro turf on top. Had my handy man help me put it together as you need two people for an added cost of $200. So my total price was $1096.00. It took about 7 hours including prepping the area the unit would sit on. I don't think I could have gotten a nicer cat enclosure for this price point. The product is well made and if you take your time is very sturdy for two larger size cats. We made the entry point on the side as my house already had a cat door going from inside. I changed up the positions of the inside shelving and houses to suit my cats needs better and this was simple to do. It is plenty big enough for 2 cats and I believe up to 4-5 cats would be very happy in here. The directions can seem a bit odd as they were probably not written by an English speaking native. However if you take your time and read them a few times it gets easier. Two people are needed and I would not recommend moving the unit very far after it is built. We had to move it a coupe times about 6-8 inches and that was fine. Once the roof and supports are installed correctly the entire structor becomes a lot more sound and secure. I am not sure how weather proof it is as I just installed it. I am going to add a corrugated roof top to it later this fall so the cats can still enjoy it even if it rains. I highly recommend this product. Cat approved and all four boxes came in a few days and all items were in the box. I might get a smaller one and attach it to the current one for some extra space. At this price point it is well worth it.

Spacious and Well-Loved by My Cats – A Bit Tricky to Build Alone I purchased this catio for my two fur babies, and they absolutely love it! It’s spacious enough for both of them to relax, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. That said, building it solo was definitely a challenge—it took me about 5 hours total. I know that sounds like a lot, but I’m someone who needs things assembled just right, and it was important to get everything aligned perfectly. After about 4 months of use, my only real complaint is that the door has started to bend outward a bit. I now have to place something against it when the cats are inside to make sure it stays secure. Aside from that issue, it's held up well and serves its purpose. Overall, it’s a great product for giving your indoor cats safe outdoor time—I’d just recommend having help during assembly and keeping an eye on the door over time.

I did a ton of research before purchasing a “catio” and we needed one that was good for outdoors and would not be connected to our home. This one is perfect and our cat loves it! It came with all of the sections put together and we had to put together the sections. It’s definitely a two person job, because you need someone to hold the pieces together when screwing it together. Assembly was easy. It took about an hour to build and prep time was about fifteen minutes. It’s sturdy and has held up being outside all summer. We keep it in the shade, which probably helps. I definitely recommend thia product and would purchase again.

We purchased this catio with the intentions of using it as a quail coop, converted it later to keep chickens, and have since converted it to a little standalone greenhouse in our yard. It has been fantastic for all of these purposes. The construction is quite sturdy, it has stood up to high winds, hail, and rain, and everything still feels and looks solid. The instructions were really clear and easy to follow, and all of the pieces were labeled clearly.

I just got a pair of roving mouse traps to help out with my vermin problem. But my problem was how to get the cats to stay here long enough to realize this really is home! This is a pair of rescue males. One was pretty sociable from the start. The other wants to be but just isn't quite sure yet. I couldn't see keeping the poor things in an oversized shipping crate for however long it takes for them to make this home. I wanted something that was comfortable and interesting for them. This fit the bill perfectly. I thought it might be a little light weight, but yesterday I had a dog fixate on the cats. He actually attacked the enclosure from many different sides before he could be pulled back under control. The cats were traumatized and shaken, but unharmed and the catio wasn't hurt in any way either. This catio saved their lives. Had the attack not been caught at the start, the outcome might have been different. But this was substantial enough to stand up to a lightning fast 60 lb. crazed dog long enough. If you have cats that are outside or even for small dogs, this is ideal. Once the cats have decided this is home, the little outside door can be slid up out of the way and latched in the open position so the cats can come and go as they please. To be completely honest here, this Large Sized catio is more expensive than I had wanted to go. The price for the unit itself was bad enough, but the extra $200.00 shipping seemed excessive. The dog kennel I have is much larger and heavier and yet it cost significantly less and shipping was free. No, it's not cute like the catio, so in a way it's apples and oranges...But is it really? I don't understand the shipping charges for this item. That is definitely something to consider when you are ordering.

There’s no reviews so I figured I should do one. Listen, for coming from Amazon it’s great. It’s simple. It’s wood with the fencing stapled on. It wasn’t hard to build per se but we did look at the directions the whole time. We’ve begun to personalize it a bit. Not sure how long it will last in the weather. It’s a little flimsy. But it’s light enough to move to place it exactly where you want. It’s small but not tiny.

This is as pictured. It does take some effort to build, but if you like building things it's not that bad. While you can use a screwdriver, it is definitely worth it to use a drill attachment or ratcheting screwdriver. Sometimes the placement of the screws by the screen caused my knuckles to get scraped up, so some work gloves would be useful too. I did a lot on my own, but there are parts where it is more of a two-person job. I really do like the finished product and the cats seem to also.
