Albuquerque · Custom catios
Outdoor freedom,
safely contained.
Custom-designed catios built for your home, your yard, and your cat's personality. From 3D concept to final install — we handle everything.
Our story
Built by a cat dad, for cat dads (and moms).
My cats had a great window view. Turns out that wasn't enough.
The first catio I built changed everything. My three boys were calmer and happier, and I could finally sleep worry-free they were safe. That feeling is the whole reason this business exists.
Now I design and build catios for other Albuquerque cat owners. Every one is mine start to finish. Your cats, your yard, no shortcuts.
— Max Schwaber, founder
3D PREVIEW
See your catio before we build it.
Every project starts with a custom 3D render of your catio in your actual space. Drag the slider to see a real before-and-after from a recent build.
It's the difference between hoping a catio fits your yard and knowing it will.

GUS
Gus
Quality Specialist
Gus doesn't just test catios; he stress tests them. If a catio can survive Gus's vigorous paw-poking, zooming, and napping sessions, it's ready for a lifetime of feline enjoyment. If it's good enough for Gus, it's good enough for you.

Why a catio
Indoor safety. Outdoor freedom.
Safe outdoor access
Fresh air, sunshine, and bird-watching — without the risks of free-roaming.
Reduced anxiety
Outdoor stimulation reduces stress, boredom, and destructive indoor behavior.
Wildlife-friendly
Keeping cats contained protects local birds and small wildlife from predation.
Built for your space
Balcony, yard, window, patio — every catio is designed to fit your specific home.
Weather-tough
UV-stable mesh, sealed wood, drainage planning. Built for New Mexico conditions.
Stronger bond
A shared outdoor space you can both enjoy — with the cat staying right where they belong.
