Our story
Built by a cat dad, for cat dads (and moms).
NM Catio Service was born from a simple problem: I wanted my cats — Peebs, Ollie, and Gus — to enjoy the outdoors safely. So I built them their first catio.
The peace of mind it gave me, and the obvious happiness it gave them, was incredible. That's when I knew this needed to be a service for other cat lovers in Albuquerque.
Today I personally design and build every catio. No subcontractors, no shortcuts — just careful work for your specific cats and your specific space.

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 how the design becomes the build.
It's the difference between hoping a catio fits your yard and knowing it will.

BACKYARD CATIO
The team
The cats actually in charge.
PEEBS
Peebs
Project Manager
All paws on deck. Nothing escapes Peebs's watchful eyes — no loose screw, no out-of-place cushion, no wandering bird.
OLLIE
Ollie
Customer Service
Snuggle-first, solve-later. You'll be asking for updates just to chat with him.
GUS
Gus
Quality Specialist
Stress tests every catio with vigorous paw-poking, zooming, and napping. If it survives Gus, it survives anything.
MAX
Max
Owner & Builder
Founded the company, but works for the cats. Personally oversees every design and build.
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.
