Starting from $1,200+Why Monument Catios
Designed Around Your Cats. Managed For You.
We're not a big-box kit company. We're a boutique design firm that treats every project like it's our own cats' home.
Cat Lovers First
We started Monument Catios because we wanted safe outdoor spaces for our own cats. That same passion drives every project. We understand cats — their behaviors, their preferences, their needs for climbing, hiding, and watching.
100% Custom 3D Designs
No templates. No kits. Every catio and cat wall starts with a custom 3D rendering designed around your specific home, yard, and cats. You see exactly what you're getting before any work begins.
Licensed Contractor Partners
We handle design and project management while our licensed, insured contractor partners handle the physical construction. This means proper permits, code compliance, and professional quality — with us coordinating every detail.
Climate-Engineered
Arizona heat, Maryland humidity — we design for your specific climate. UV-resistant materials, proper ventilation, shade structures, and weather protection ensure your catio performs year-round in any conditions.
Full-Service Coordination
From initial cat wall or catio concept to final installation, we're your single point of contact. We coordinate permit documentation, HOA submissions, contractor scheduling, and design quality reviews so you don't have to juggle multiple vendors.
Wildlife Protection
Every catio is designed with local wildlife in mind. In Arizona, that means heavy-gauge screening designed to deter coyotes and secure locking. In Maryland, protection from raccoons, foxes, and hawks. Your cats stay safe.
How It Works
From First Call to Happy Cats in 4 Simple Steps
We make the process seamless. You focus on your cats, we handle everything else.
Free Consultation
A quick call to learn about your cats, your home, and your vision. We discuss options, answer questions, and provide a rough budget range — no pressure, no obligation.
Custom 3D Design
Our design team creates detailed 3D renderings tailored to your exact space. You see every angle, every feature, and every material choice before approving the final design.
Permits & Coordination
We handle building permits, HOA submissions, and contractor coordination. You sign two agreements — one with us for design, one with our licensed contractor for installation.
Professional Installation
Our licensed contractor partners bring your design to life in 1-5 days depending on complexity. We oversee design quality, do a final walkthrough with you, and introduce your cats to their new space.
Arizona Service Area
Custom Catios Across Arizona
Arizona's year-round sunshine makes it ideal for outdoor catios — but extreme heat, coyotes, bobcats, and desert wildlife demand expert design. Our Arizona catios feature UV-resistant shade structures, thermally efficient materials, heavy-gauge predator-proof screening, and monsoon-ready construction.
We serve 26+ cities across the Phoenix metro, Tucson, Northern Arizona, and beyond — with licensed ROC contractor partners handling every installation.
Maryland Service Area
Custom Catios Across Maryland
Maryland's four-season climate and lush landscapes create wonderful outdoor environments for cats — but raccoons, foxes, hawks, and busy suburban roads make safety essential. Our Maryland catios are designed for humidity, seasonal weather changes, and local wildlife protection.
From the DC suburbs to Baltimore and the Eastern Shore, we design custom catios and cat walls for Maryland homeowners who want their cats to enjoy the outdoors safely.
The Monument Catios Difference
Why Cat Parents Choose a Custom Catio Builder Over DIY Kits
There's a world of difference between a generic kit from Amazon and a custom-designed Monument Catios project.
Designed, Not Guessed
Every project begins with professional 3D design tailored to your exact space. DIY kits are generic boxes. Our catios are custom extensions of your home that complement your style and maximize your cats' enjoyment.
Professionally Installed
Licensed, insured contractors handle every installation. That means proper permitting, code compliance, structural integrity, and workmanship you can trust — not a weekend DIY project that may not hold up.
Climate-Rated Materials
We specify materials rated for your specific climate — UV-resistant for Arizona's desert sun, moisture-resistant for Maryland's humidity. Generic kits use one-size-fits-all materials that degrade in extreme conditions.
Single Point of Contact
No juggling architects, contractors, and permit offices. We manage the entire process — from concept to completion — as your dedicated project coordinator. You deal with one team, period.
Local Wildlife Expertise
Coyotes in Arizona. Raccoons in Maryland. We design every enclosure for the specific predators in your area — not a generic "outdoor safe" claim. Your cats' safety is non-negotiable.
Permit & HOA Handled
We help coordinate building permit applications, HOA submission packages, and local regulation research so you don't have to start from scratch. Our team prepares documentation and guides you through the approval process.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A catio is a custom-designed outdoor enclosure that gives your cats safe access to fresh air, sunshine, and outdoor stimulation — while keeping them protected from traffic, predators, and other hazards. They range from compact window boxes to large multi-level structures with platforms, ramps, bridges, and cozy hideaways. Think of it as a screened-in patio designed specifically for your cats.
Projects vary based on size, materials, features, and site conditions. Window box catios are the most affordable option, while large multi-level outdoor catios represent a bigger investment. Indoor cat walls fall somewhere in between. Every project receives a detailed, transparent quote after a free consultation — so there are never surprises. We're happy to work within a range of budgets.
