The Cat sass catio process

The easiest Catio is built away from the home with a tunnel from a window or pet door in the wall out to the Catio. Anything attached to the home requires more time and a different approval process as determined by your municipality. The timeframe for larger units is 4-8 weeks and smaller units are 2-4 weeks.

#1 size

It is up to you as to whether or not you choose to check with your municipality for the Catio size your yard allows. Most municipalities refer to these as an accessory building, portable building, or shed.  

Some folks do, some don't. In the end, what we build is at your direction and your responsibility.

#2 included wtih every catio

Once you know the size you’d like, make the selections that are included with your Catio:

  • FLOOR: Choice of waterproof, washable & pet-friendly floor pattern placed over treated plywood.
  • ROOF COLOR: Pro-rib metal roofing placed over a protective weather barrier and treated plywood.  (Shingle roofing is available if requested)
  • KNEE WALL COLOR: The lower 20" of ground model catios serves as a protective barrier from yard visitors. Choose a color to compliment your home, even a wood or stone look.  (Wood and stone look options available at an additional cost as are full walls where requested )
  • DOOR COLOR: Our heavy duty doors are also custom made and can be finished in a solid color to match your home or the rest of the Catio. (Wood and stone look options available at an additional cost)
  • TRIM: Your catio and catio screen (durable coated screen that withstands climbing and protects your home from uninvited insects and critters) are trimmed out in a color that compliments the rest of your Catio.  (White is included, colors available at an additional cost)

#3 accessories

CONTRACT & PAYMENT

50% down and contract signing is required to start the process. Our contract was written by our attorney and protects both us and you. We are a registered LLC, registered with the IRS, and fully insured in Wisconsin.

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS

Cat Sass Catios are custom-built by Alvin, our Amish builder using lumber from specific sources, not big box retailers. These sources ensure our lumber is straight & strong, while Alvin's expertise and attention to detail provides a long-lasting structure that is built to last. We don't build flimsy boxes disguised as Catios, we build structures that are built and installed according building codes. Additionally, our units are secured to the ground and built to meet your municipality's requirements. We build actual joists, headers, and framed walls. (Photo is my father talking with Alvin about one of our builds)

PROFESSIONALY INSTALLED

Once your catio is constructed to your specific specs, we either deliver it as a complete unit or, if spaced to deliver it complete is an issue, we deconstruct it, transport it to you, and re-assemble it in it's permanent location. This takes about one day, possibly two for large units and/or extensive customization.  

WARRANTY

All Cat Sass Catios come with a 1 year warranty on build materials and workmanship.
