Built For Real Homes
From First Sketch to Favorite Spot
A catio should feel like a considered extension of your home, not a cage attached to it.
The Central Catio started as a custom 3D design and became the cats' favorite room in the house: predator-proof mesh, a solid roof with built-in lighting, and a climbing route shaped around how cats naturally explore. Every custom catio we build is planned for the home, the yard and the animals using it.
- Site-specific custom 3D design
- Multi-level shelves and climbing routes
- Solid roof with built-in lighting
- Predator-proof mesh and secure construction
The Monument Catios Difference
Why Cat Parents Choose Monument Catios Over DIY Kits
There's a world of difference between a generic kit from Amazon and a custom-designed catio by Monument Catios.
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.
Designed, Not Guessed
Every project begins with professional 3D catio design tailored to your exact space. DIY kits are generic boxes. Our custom catios are custom extensions of your home that complement your style and maximize your cats' enjoyment.
Professionally Built
Our licensed, insured team handles 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. AZ ROC #364641 | MD MHIC #167535-02 | PA HIC #PA214722.
Climate-Rated Materials
We specify materials rated for your specific climate — UV-resistant for Arizona's desert sun, moisture-resistant for Maryland's humidity, snow-load-rated for Pennsylvania winters. Generic kits use one-size-fits-all materials that degrade in extreme conditions.
Local Wildlife Expertise
Coyotes in Arizona. Raccoons in Maryland. Black bears in Pennsylvania. 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
As a licensed contractor, we handle building permit applications, HOA submission packages, and local regulation compliance. Our team prepares all documentation and manages the entire approval process for you.

From predator-proof custom dog runs and walk-in chicken coops to duck coops, backyard aviaries, AZGFD-ready tortoise enclosures and secure rabbit runs, every build gets the same site-built construction, dig-proof footings and heavy-gauge mesh as our catios.
What Cat Parents Say
Loved by Cats & Their Humans
Real five-star reviews from our Google Business Profile — verbatim, from the families we build for.
"If you want a catio built, hire this company. They did a fantastic job. The entire crew was professional, organized, and kept the workspace super clean. Their communication was next-level… The final result is amazing and my cat is already obsessed with it. Five stars!"
Jeff M. — Google review
"We asked them to design a custom cat shelf system that would allow our cats to make their way around the living room without ever having to touch the floor, and they really took the time to get it right… Our cats absolutely love it. I would absolutely recommend Monument Catios."
Brian M. — Google review
"We hired Monument Catios to give our two kitties a forever playground from kitchen through dining and living room walls. We've had tons of compliments already… Thomas and Luz were wonderful, accessible, and very open to changes. Our kitties couldn't be happier!"
Elizabeth D. — Google review
"I have a smaller space in Scottsdale and honestly wasn't sure a cat wall would even be possible. Monument Catios proved me completely wrong… My cats are obsessed! If you're on the fence because of limited square footage, don't be — these guys will figure it out."
Elizabeth L. — Google review
"I had seen a bunch of cat walls on TikTok and wanted to add one for my cat Stormi, but just had no idea how and couldn't find anyone to help. I then found the team at Monument Catios and it's been such an amazing experience planning and designing a set up for my chonk!"
Jenny A. — Google review
"We've actually had a coyote jump over our block wall into the backyard, and we've even had an owl sitting on our patio cover — so we knew we needed something more secure than a typical dog run. They designed a safe, secure, covered dog pen… built on-site by skilled carpenters using high-quality materials. It gives us peace of mind knowing our little Yorkies are protected."
Ruth M. — Google review
"I got in touch with Monument Catios to design an enclosure for my parents' two cats at their house, and it's been a great experience. The team have been super responsive, transparent, and are clearly cat lovers."

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about pricing, permits or what is possible for your home? Start here, then tell us about your cats and your space.
What exactly is a catio?
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.
How much does a custom catio cost?
Projects vary based on size, materials, features, and site conditions. Indoor cat walls are the most affordable option, while large multi-level outdoor catios represent a bigger investment. Window box catios 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.
Is Monument Catios licensed and insured?
Yes. Monument Catios is a fully licensed and insured design-build firm. We hold an Arizona ROC License (#364641), a Maryland MHIC License (#167535-02), and a Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor Registration (#PA214722). We handle everything — custom 3D design, permitting, materials, and professional construction — under one roof. One company, one contract, one team responsible for your entire project from start to finish.
What areas do you serve?
We currently serve Arizona, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. In Arizona, we cover 26+ cities including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Tucson, Flagstaff, and many more across the Phoenix metro and beyond. In Maryland, we serve the greater Baltimore area, Annapolis, Bethesda, Columbia, Silver Spring, Rockville, Frederick, and surrounding communities. In Pennsylvania, we serve cat owners statewide — Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Erie, Scranton, and beyond. In North Carolina, we serve cat owners statewide — Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Wilmington, and Asheville. Contact us to confirm service availability in your specific area.
How long does the process take?
Typical timeline is 4-8 weeks from initial consultation to your cats enjoying their new space. This includes design development (1-2 weeks), permitting and HOA approval (1-3 weeks), and professional installation by our licensed crew (1-5 days depending on complexity). We provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need a building permit?
Permit requirements vary by city and county. Many municipalities require permits for permanent outdoor structures attached to homes. The good news: as a licensed contractor, we handle the entire permit process for you. Our team prepares all application documentation and works directly with the local building department throughout the process. You don't have to worry about paperwork or compliance.
Can catios be customized to match my home?
Absolutely — that's the whole point. Every Monument Catios project is 100% custom-designed to complement your home's architecture, whether it's a Southwest adobe in Arizona, a colonial in Maryland, a modern build, or anything in between. We create detailed 3D renderings so you can visualize the design before any work begins. Unlimited design revisions ensure you love the final concept.
Are catios safe from local wildlife?
Yes. We engineer every enclosure for the specific wildlife threats in your area. In Arizona, that means heavy-gauge screening designed to deter coyotes, secure locking mechanisms, and structural designs that help protect against bobcats, javelinas, rattlesnakes, and hawks. In Maryland, we design for raccoons, foxes, hawks, and other local predators. In Pennsylvania, designs account for coyotes, hawks, great horned owls, and black bears. In North Carolina, we design for coyotes — now in all 100 counties — plus hawks, owls, black bears, and copperheads. Your cats' safety is our top priority and non-negotiable.
Do you build enclosures for animals other than cats?
Yes. Alongside catios and cat walls, we design and build custom dog runs, chicken coops, duck coops, backyard aviaries, and tortoise enclosures — all to the same predator-proof standard, by the same licensed crews (AZ ROC #364641, MD MHIC #167535-02, PA HIC #PA214722), under one contract.
