We currently build and deliver exclusively within Texas.
What Is a Catio and Why Texas Cats Need One
A catio (cat patio) is an enclosed outdoor structure that lets cats safely enjoy fresh air, sunlight, and stimulation without the risks of roaming free. Texas weather, wildlife, and busy roads make a secure outdoor cat enclosure one of the best investments a cat owner can make for their pet's safety and quality of life. Coyotes, bobcats, hawks, and owls are active across most Texas metro areas, including Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio, which makes predator proof construction an essential part of any catio build, not an optional upgrade
Benefits of a Custom Built Catio:
- Protects cats from cars, coyotes, bobcats, hawks, owls, and other outdoor predators common across Texas
- Reduces stress, boredom, and destructive indoor behavior
- Gives indoor cats safe access to sunlight and fresh air
- Adds a functional, attractive structure to your backyard or patio
- Built to withstand Texas heat, storms, and humidity

Window Catios
A compact enclosure that attaches directly to a window, giving your cat a safe outdoor perch without taking up yard space. Ideal for apartments, townhomes, and smaller properties.
Outdoor Cat Tree Catios
A full enclosure built around a multi level cat tree structure, giving your cat vertical space to climb, perch, and observe their surroundings safely. Excellent for multi cat households.
Cat Tunnel Systems
Enclosed cat tunnels connect a window, door, porch, or fence line to a larger catio area, or link two separate enclosures together. Tunnels can run along the ground, elevated on posts, or against a wall.
Walk In Garden Catios
A larger walk in enclosure designed to blend into your garden or backyard, often combining a cat tree, tunnel access, shaded resting areas, and enrichment features in one connected space.
Fully Custom Catio Builds
If you already have a design, architectural drawing, or Pinterest board of ideas, our carpenters will build it to your specification. If you do not have a design yet, our team will design the catio for you based on your space, your cats, and your budget.
Have your own catio design? Send it to us and we will build it. No design yet? We will create one for you.
How We Price Every Catio Project
We build every catio as a custom solution. Pricing is calculated according to the materials used and the labor required for your specific project, so no two quotes look exactly the same. This approach lets us build a catio that fits your actual budget and your cat's actual needs, rather than forcing you into a fixed package or a generic cost per square foot rate.
(We charge a small margin on top of materials and labor, as we are a newly established business building our reputation across Texas. We believe in fair, transparent pricing from day one.)
What Affects Your Catio Price
- Size and footprint of the enclosure
- Materials selected (wood type, mesh or wire gauge, roofing, hardware)
- Complexity of design, including multi level cat trees and cat tunnels
- Site conditions and installation requirements
- Whether you supply the design or our team designs it for you
Built by Texas Carpenters With Over 20 Years of Experience
Every catio we build is constructed by carpenters with more than two decades of hands on experience. That experience means tighter joints, sturdier framing, weatherproof finishing, and a structure built to last through Texas sun, wind, and storms, not just a backyard project thrown together with basic tools.
Our Build Process:
- Step 1: Free consultation to understand your space, your cats, and your goals
- Step 2: Custom design, either built from your plans or designed by our team to fit your budget
- Step 3: Transparent quote based on materials and labor, with our margin clearly disclosed
- Step 4: Professional construction and installation by experienced Texas carpenters
- Step 5: Final walkthrough to make sure the catio is safe, secure, and ready for your cat
