More than 30 years of construction experience
01 / CHOOSE YOUR NEXT STEP
A kit, a DIY build, or a custom enclosure: the right answer starts with your space, your cats, and your budget.
BEFORE YOU BUY OR BUILD
For choosing a system or working through one primary fit or build question.
TURN THE IDEA INTO A PLAN
For one straightforward enclosure and one primary house connection.
We confirm fit, scope, and timing before accepting payment. Planning services exclude installation, stamped engineering, and permit approval. For the same agreed project, a $249 review can be credited toward the $649 package total.
02 / THE CHAT. THE PLAN. THE BUILD.
01 / THE CHAT
Tell us about your cats, the available area, how they’ll get outside, and what you want to spend. Photos and rough dimensions give us a place to begin.
02 / THE PLAN
Compare enclosure options, access, materials, weather exposure, and maintenance. Receive practical recommendations or a defined planning package.
03 / THE BUILD
Build it yourself, take the brief to your installer, or discuss a selective local custom project. You choose the route that works for you.

FROM ANIMAL SHELTERS TO FRANKLIN BUILDS
Kindred Catios grew from a love of animals and more than 30 years of commercial and residential building experience.
That love started early at the San Francisco Airport animal shelter, where our family cared for animals of all kinds. Today, based in Franklin, North Carolina, we bring that same care to planning outdoor spaces for cats.
We look beyond the enclosure: the connection to your house, the site, the materials, and how the space will be installed and maintained.
03 / USEFUL PRODUCTS, WITH A PURPOSE
A small set of real products to compare. Buy directly from the supplier; start with fit and access before filling a cart.
MODULAR METAL ENCLOSURE
A preconfigured catio series to compare for compact spaces. Review the selected footprint, package contents, assembly requirements, and house-access connection.
NET-BASED ENCLOSURE MATERIAL
A material option for suitable net-based enclosures. Plan the supporting structure, edge fixing, and gaps; cat containment does not establish predator protection.
These suppliers ship physical products within the contiguous U.S. Confirm current availability, delivery, specifications, and total price with the supplier. Guidance reflects published specifications, not personal product testing. These are ordinary supplier links, not affiliate links.

A FEW PRACTICAL ANSWERS
No. Planning services support DIY owners and people hiring their own installers. Selective local custom work is a separate option.
Your town or ZIP, site and access photos, approximate width/depth/height, number of cats, budget, and your main question. Mark measurements you haven’t verified. No street address is needed for an initial inquiry.
We confirm service fit before payment. Unusual structures or conditions may need a separate scope or an appropriate specialist. Concept planning is not stamped engineering or permit approval.
We agree a delivery date after reviewing your information and confirming scope. There is no automatic turnaround commitment.
