WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CATTERY AND A CATIO?
If you're considering an outdoor space for your cat, you may have come across the terms Cattery and Catio, but what exactly is the difference?
CATTERY
A Cattery is typically a larger structure designed to house cats year round. These are used for boarding, breeding and rescue centre purposes as well as some private owners with multiple cats.
Catteries provide a fully enclosed, secure, sheltered environment where cats can live for extended periods. They have individual fully insulated, heated sleeping areas for year round comfort and exercise areas. Cattery dimensions and specifications must comply with DEFRA’s strict regulations set out in The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations which can be downloaded from here VIEW OUR RANGE OF HAND MADE CATTERIES |
CATIOS
A Catio, is an outdoor cat enclosure designed for pet owners who want to give their cat safe access to the outdoors.
Catios can range in size from small window boxes to large walk-in enclosures. They offer fresh air, exercise, and stimulation while keeping cats protected from predators, traffic, and other outdoor dangers. BESPOKE CATIOS - ORDER ONLINE |
