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.

Getting a quote, answered.
Everything you might wonder before you hit send.
Is the quote really free?
Completely. The phone chat, the on-site visit, the measure-up and the written quote all cost nothing and come with no obligation. You only pay if you decide to go ahead with the build.
Am I committing to anything by filling this in?
Not at all. This just gets the conversation started, we call you back to talk it through, and you're free to walk away at any point. If you'd rather ask a question first, get in touch here.
What happens after I submit the form?
We call you back (usually within a day or two), you have a proper chat, then we book a free on-site visit and follow up with a quote. See the full step-by-step on how we work.
How soon will I hear back?
Usually within a day or two of your enquiry. If you're on a tighter timeline, mention it in your message and we'll do our best to work around it.
What if I don't know my measurements or exact details?
That's fine, rough answers are all you need here. We take precise measurements at the free site visit, so a rough size, a photo in your head and a general idea of what you want is plenty to get started.
Can I get a rough idea of price before the site visit?
We can talk ballpark on the callback once we understand your space, but the accurate price comes after we've measured up in person. Our pricing page explains why every catio is quoted individually.
Is the price fixed once I get my quote?
Yes. The figure is agreed in writing before any work starts and doesn't move unless you change the plan, no hourly meter, no surprise add-ons. More on how pricing works.
Not sure which catio style to ask for?
No need to decide now. Describe your space and cats in the form and we'll recommend the right build, or browse the full range of catio styles first if you'd like a look.
What areas do you cover?
Greater Melbourne, right across the suburbs. Not sure whether you're in range? Get in touch and we'll confirm.
Do you take a deposit or offer payment plans?
For confirmed builds a deposit books your spot and covers materials, with the balance due on completion, and staged payments can often be arranged for larger jobs. We spell out the terms in your quote, see pricing for the details.
I'd rather just talk to someone, can I call?
Of course. Our phone and email are on the contact page, so you can call instead of filling in the form. Whatever's easiest for you.
