What people say once the cats move in.

Highly highly recommend Carl. Very professional and friendly service. Great communication throughout the whole process. The cat run looks amazing and was very reasonably priced.

Very pleased with the quality of our catio. We had considered getting one for some time to protect both our cat and the local wildlife. With avian flu now on Australian shores, we were also keen to keep our cat separate from cross species infections. We were happy we chose The Catio Carpenter. Carl is a pleasant and cheerful carpenter with a great affinity for pets. He put so much thought into the design, discussing everything with us first, and offering brilliant suggestions we hadn’t yet considered. As he worked, he paid attention to where the sun would shine throughout the day, and fitted a shelf in a position that caught the morning and afternoon sun, yet would be shaded from the midday heat. Carl carefully considered our cat’s size and age, so the shelf would be at an appropriate height for his abilities. Carl clearly enjoys his work and takes pride in delivering a safe, comfortable space for his furry clientele. We were also impressed at Carl’s skill at thinking on his feet to come up with bespoke, sturdy solutions that fit our house and our requirements. A true professional and experienced craftsman, Carl turned up promptly, worked efficiently and cleaned up thoroughly once the work was complete. Our cat was at the vet whilst Carl was building. All was forgiven when he discovered his new catio, and within a couple of hours, he was king of his new domain. We were proud to show the results to our friends and family (as well as the vet!) each of whom asked for Carl’s contact details. Thanks Carl, for all your hard work!

Thanks so much for the fantastic work on our cat enclosure! We’re really happy with the result. It gives our two cats the freedom to enjoy being outside while giving us peace of mind that they can’t escape. Great workmanship and a great job - highly recommend!

The Catio Carpenter has just built a custom playground for my little man Romy, I cannot thank Carl enough for the time and effort that he put into designing and building Romy's playground from platforms, rope swing, ladder and even a tree, he has it all and is loving every part of his enclosure now, I would highly recommend Carl to anyone thinking of having a cat enclosure built for their fur babies, he was punctual, courteous and most of all listened to what I wanted (added a few suggestions) that I also went with and best of all stayed in budget, so I now have one very happy cat, thank you very much Carl, Karen & Romy.
