Here at Cat-Topia we build custom cat enclosure off of the homes of our customers. We noticed a significant problem amongst cat owners having an internal conflict as to letting their cats go outside. Cats are naturally curious and adventurous there for they will always want to explore and see what is out there. However, the dangers of the outside world pose many threats to your furry companion. We have created unique designs to accentuate the features of our customers homes and make the enclosure a beautiful addition to the landscape. By building the "catios" we have been able to appease both side, now owners cat let their cats be outdoors without having to worry if they are coming home.
