Adventure in safety
"The inspiration behind Catio Spaces is my tabby cat, Serena, who I adopted after the loss of my beloved 22-year-old cat” Cynthia, Catio Spaces owner, told Bored Panda.
"Being a nature lover, I wanted her to enjoy the stimulation of the outdoors while protected from a variety of outdoor hazards. I transformed my backyard patio into a catio and created a space we could both enjoy with a water fountain, seating, shelves and cat safe plants."
HAPPY NEW YEAR from Catio Spaces! Wishing you and your fur family a bright, beautiful and pawsitive year ahead!

"One thing led to another (Serena has 4 catios and is my “quality assurance” expert), and I design custom catios, DIY catio plans and help cat parents from all over the world solve their indoor/outdoor dilemma."

"The most rewarding part of my work is witnessing my 4-legged clients step into a catio for the first time, breathing fresh air, feel the wind in their whiskers and see their happy tails exploring their new territory - and of course, receiving a headbutt or sandpaper lick on the nose by a grateful feline,"
Sounds great, right? And even better yet, Cynthia donates 10% of plan purchases to animal and bird welfare organizations - all the more reason to install a Catio, then!
