We are Passionate Builders for Happy Cats

Custom Catio & Catification Construction

We are a leading provider of innovative outdoor cat enclosures and indoor catification in Michigan. We transform homes into safe havens for cats and their families.

We catify rooms with custom built cat furniture, cat shelves, cat walkways, stairs, and more that allow cats to enjoy the indoors while ensuring their safety and owner peace of mind.

At Michigan Catio Builders, we are a passionate team dedicated to crafting catios that seamlessly blend what your cat wants with safety, style, and durability. Our love for cats drives us to create the perfect outdoor experience for your feline family members.

We offer personalized catio designs tailored to your cat’s needs, using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Our commitment to excellence has earned us local recognition and a loyal customer base.

With years of experience in feline behavior and residential construction, we create catios that cater to both cats and their owners’ peace of mind.

Getting Started

Building your dream catio starts with a little planning on your end. Follow these four steps and we’ll be able to give you a more accurate quote and quicker design.

1. Pick Your Spot

Decide where the catio will go. Most of our builds attach to the house so your cats can come and go through a window, door, or custom entry, but freestanding enclosures work too. Look for a location that:

Sits against an exterior wall (ideally near a window or door for cat access)
Has reasonably level ground
Gets a mix of sun and shade through the day

2. Measure It Out

Grab a tape measure (or use your phone to measure) and write down the dimensions of the space:

Width and depth of the footprint (how much ground it’ll cover)
Height you want at the tallest point — most catios run 7 to 8 feet so you can walk in, but let us know if you want it shorter or taller
Note the location of any windows, doors, vents, or fixtures on the wall it’ll attach to

Even rough numbers help. We’ll confirm everything before we build.

3. Take Good Photos

Clear pictures tell us almost everything we need. Please take:

A few wide shots of the whole area from different angles
Close-ups of the wall where it’ll attach, including any windows or doors
The ground and foundation along the base
Anything we should plan around (slopes, retaining walls, landscaping, utilities)

Shoot in daylight and make sure the full space is visible.

4. Upload to Our Form
