We specialize in safe havens for your beloved feline friends.
We specializes in creating Catios that cater to both your feline friends needs and your aesthetic preferences.
Catios provide the perfect blend of outdoor freedom and security for your cats to explore and play without the worry of escaping or encountering dangers.
Catio Construction :
We design and build Bespoke Timber Catios completely from scratch on-site, These structures provide a safe and stimulating environment for your cats.
As a Bespoke Service I take into account the available space, your garden layout, requests and your cat’s specific requirements when constructing the catio.
Benefits of a Catio :
Safety
A catio allows your cats to enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors while remaining safely contained within secure boundaries.This protects them from common outdoor hazards such as road traffic, getting lost, encounters with aggressive animals, toxic plants, and exposure to diseases. Owners can have peace of mind knowing their cats are enjoying the outdoors in a controlled and secure environment.
Fresh Air and Mental Stimulation
Cats are naturally curious animals that thrive on environmental enrichment.A catio provides a constantly changing world of sights, sounds, and scents to explore.
Whether they are sunbathing on a shelf, feeling the breeze through their fur, or watching birds and insects from a safe distance, the experience keeps their minds engaged and active in ways that indoor life alone often cannot provide.
Health and Well-Being
Regular access to a stimulating outdoor space can have a positive impact on both physical and emotional health. Climbing shelves, navigating platforms, and exploring different levels encourage gentle exercise, helping cats maintain a healthy weight and muscle tone.The added enrichment can also reduce stress, anxiety, boredom, and frustration, which are often linked to unwanted behaviours such as over-grooming, excessive vocalisation, or destructive scratching.
Happiness and Quality of Life
Many cat owners notice a significant improvement in their cats' overall contentment after introducing a catio. The opportunity to experience sunshine, fresh air, and natural surroundings helps fulfil important feline instincts while maintaining the comfort and security of home.The result is often a calmer, more relaxed, and more satisfied cat that enjoys a richer daily life.
Protecting Wildlife
A catio offers an ideal solution for environmentally conscious pet owners. Cats retain the enjoyment of observing birds, butterflies, and other local wildlife without being able to hunt them.This helps protect native species and supports local ecosystems, while still allowing your cat to safely connect with the natural world. It is a responsible approach that benefits both pets and wildlife alike.
Peace of Mind for Owners
One of the greatest advantages of a catio is the reassurance it brings to owners.There is no need to worry about your cat wandering too far from home, getting into dangerous situations, or disappearing for hours at a time. Instead, you can relax knowing they have the freedom to enjoy the outdoors safely, right on your doorstep.
Customization Options:
Shelving and Platforms:
Shelving is included as standard in the base price of all our catios.
These shelves not only provide valuable enrichment opportunities, allowing your cats to climb, explore, and perch, but they also ensure your cats can comfortably access and make full use of the entire space.
Every catio is individually designed with your cats' needs in mind.
We carefully consider entry points such as windows and cat flaps, incorporating shelves and step platforms where needed to create safe, practical routes throughout the enclosure.
This thoughtful approach ensures your cats can move around the catio with ease and enjoy every part of their outdoor environment.
Finishes and Aesthetic
We offer a wide range of shades that blend beautifully into your garden.
If you’re unsure which direction to go, we’re always happy to help advise on colour pairings or two-tone systems, which can add a touch of character and playfulness to your catio design.
Every finish is chosen not only to complement your home and garden but also to reflect your personal style , ensuring your catio feels like a natural, beautiful extension of your space.

Safety and Regulations:
If you're based in the UK, please be aware that certain catio designs may require planning permission. Factors such as the size and height of the structure, its location on the property (for example, in a front garden or close to neighbouring boundaries), whether the property is listed, and whether it falls within a conservation area can all influence whether permission is needed.
While I am happy to offer general guidance based on my experience and will raise any concerns if I believe a proposed design could require further consideration, I am not a planning specialist and cannot provide formal advice regarding planning regulations.
It is the customer's responsibility to determine whether planning permission, building consent, landlord approval, or any other permissions are required before work begins. I do not request permissions, and BoyBespoke Catios accepts no responsibility for obtaining them on the customer's behalf.
As a general rule, I design and build catios to be practical, sympathetic to the property, and within what would commonly be considered reasonable domestic structures. However, if I feel that a particular design, height, or location may present a planning concern, I will always recommend that the customer contacts their local planning authority for clarification before proceeding.
