What Is a Portable Catio?

A portable catio is a freestanding outdoor cat enclosure that requires no drilling, permanent fixings, or alterations to your home. It is designed to stand securely on its own and can be easily moved or repositioned whenever needed.

This makes portable catios ideal for:

Renters and leasehold properties
Homes with landlord or building management restrictions
Temporary or seasonal outdoor use
Gardens, patios, or balconies where a permanent catio is not practical
Cat owners looking for a simple, ready-to-use solution without DIY or installation

How strong is the Portable Catio?

Built for strength, safety, and UK conditions.

Our Portable Catios are built with both strength and long term durability in mind, using a combination of premium Cat netting and a robust steel frame.

This netting is manufactured from knotted high density polyethylene and is pre stretched to ensure it will not sag or loosen over time when installed correctly. It is UV treated and weather resistant, making it suitable for year round outdoor use in UK conditions including rain, wind, and sun.

The material is strong enough for cats of all sizes and breeds, including larger and more energetic cats, while remaining flexible and easy to work with during installation.

Supporting the netting is a powder coated steel frame, designed to stand securely on its own and provide a stable structure for the enclosure. The frame helps keep the netting tensioned correctly and maintains the overall shape and strength of the catio, even with regular use.

All of our Cat Netting has been UV Tested and maintains 93% strength even after 10 years!

UV Tested (QUV ACCELERATED WEATHERING TESTER) Results:
3 years Equivalent to outdoor Exposure: 98% Strength maintained (2% loss)
5 years Equivalent to outdoor Exposure: 96% Strength maintained (3.3% loss)
10 years Equivalent to outdoor Exposure: 93% Strength maintained (6.6% loss)

Benefits of a Portable Catio

1. Safe Outdoor Freedom, Anytime

A portable catio gives your cat access to fresh air, sunshine, and outdoor sights in a fully enclosed, escape-resistant space. Your cat can enjoy the outdoors without the risks of free roaming, making it ideal for indoor cats that crave outdoor stimulation.

2. Avoiding injury & everyday outdoor risks

Portable catios help protect cats from common outdoor dangers found across the UK, including traffic, other animals, toxic plants, and the risk of wandering off. The enclosed design greatly reduces the chance of injury, fights, or exposure to disease, while still allowing your cat to enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors.

3. Reduced stress & Vet Bills

By providing a controlled outdoor environment, a portable catio allows cats to exercise and explore safely. This can help reduce stress-related behaviors and minimize the likelihood of accidents or injuries that often result in emergency vet visits, supporting your cat’s long-term health and wellbeing.

4. Quality Time Together

A portable catio makes it easy to spend time outdoors with your cat on a balcony, patio, decking, or in the garden, without any permanent installation. Lightweight and easy to reposition, it can be adapted to suit your space, with room for enrichment and comfort while strengthening the bond between you and your cat.

Frequently Asked Portable Catio Questions

Is a portable catio safe for my cat?

Yes absolutely. Portable catios are designed to keep cats safely enclosed while allowing airflow and visibility. When used on a flat, stable surface and assembled correctly, they provide a secure environment that helps reduce risks such as escapes, falls, traffic, and contact with other animals.

Our Portable Catios also feature stainless steel reinforced netting for extra protection.

IMPORTANT: This netting has been designed for use by cats only and is not covered for damage resulting from coyotes, dogs or other animals housed in OR outside of the enclosure. If you live in an area with a high coyote population and you are concerned about coyotes coming onto your property, we recommend you research coyote exclusion techniques, deterrents, and repellents for the most suitable and effective way to keep coyotes off your property.

Do I need tools or professional installation?

No. Our Premium Portable Catios are designed for easy DIY setup and do not require specialized tools or professional installation. Most customers can assemble their catio quickly by following the included instructions.

Generally speaking, it will take 2 people roughly 30minutes to set up a Premium Portable Catio.

Our Premium Portable Catio features hook & loop to attach the netting to the frame, making it fast and effective.

Can a portable catio be used on a balcony or patio?

Yes. Portable catios are suitable for balconies, patios, decks, courtyards, gardens and backyards, provided the surface is level and stable.

They are especially popular for apartment living and rental properties where permanent installations are not allowed.

Why Choose a Portable Catio Instead of a Permanent Enclosure?

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

We recommend that you monitor the Catio for any movement on windy days especially if you attach a shade sail as this may catch the wind and force the catio to move. Do NOT attach a tarpaulin or other flat waterproof cover to the roof of the catio.

IMPORTANT: This netting has been designed for use by cats only and is not covered for damage resulting from Dogs or other animals housed in OR outside of the enclosure.

Safety: Due to the size of the netting squares, Catnets recommend kittens (6 months and under) should not be left unattended for prolonged periods within the enclosure. In regards to cat enclosures safety in general, it is advised that all netting is installed as taut as practically possible.
