How does a catio help me follow Knox's cat rules?
A fully enclosed catio keeps your cat safely on your property — which is exactly what containment rules ask for — while still giving them sun, fresh air and a view. We build a range of escape-proof enclosures, from window boxes to walk-in runs, so there's an option to suit your home. Build a quote to get started.
