Aivituvin Catio Outdoor Cat Enclosure Large Cat House for Mulitiple Cats Walk in Cat Cage with Tarp Roof 70"

I absolutely LOVE this catio (so do my 4 cats.) It’s spacious and big without breaking the bank. It’s amazing quality and was pretty simple to put together, I did it myself. Instructions were helpful. If you’re looking for a catio, this is the one!

First of all the cats love it. I was able to install it near a window and made a make shift catdoor out of it. Just open the window and the cats can go in and out as they desire. The unit is a good size for two cats. I question the long term sturdiness of this. When in the box It was well packaged and protected. not all of the panels were marked so it took a little bit to figure out what each panels was for and what part of assembly it as needed for. Putting it together needs two people. I found that some of the design of the panels were needless and non functional. For example one wall it takes three separate panels where they could have done it as one or two. two sets of panels have Hinges on them, for what I have no idea as they are not apart of a door and the panels get screwed together so they are not operable. When assembling the roof it was quite clear the unit was not square and it took quit of bit of work to get it the roof aligned correctly. in the end I question the logvevity and durability of it. some of the wood is already fracturing and splintering. It's an ok cat house, but knowing what I know now, I think I could have done this better and cheaper with 2x4 from Home Depot with some wire mesh.

This is a very nice product. Good value for the money. My cats love it. As stated in other reviews, the instructions SUCK! Half of the pieces were not stamped with ID letters. The other half, the numbers were not legible. It took a lot of time just trying to find the right pieces for each section by looking at the pictures in the manual. It seems flimsy at first but once assembled it is quite sturdy. I actually had to hire a handyman to assemble it for me. It was too hard for me (I'm senior female). Per a suggestion in another review, I applied a waterproof varnish to the entire Catio, inside and out; even though my Catio is on my deck under a roof. The rest of my review is mainly suggestions. I put diatomaceous earth beneath the waterproof indoor/outdoor carpeting on the floor to help with pests (ants are a big problem where I live). I also sprayed all the inside shelves and floor carpeting with non-toxic pest killer for ants and fleas. All of the pieces of the indoor/outdoor carpeting (plastic artificial turf) I cut to size myself and glued them to the "resting shelves" but I didn't glue it down on the deck flooring. Everything can be hosed down for easy cleaning. I have 5 indoor-only cats. They like basking in the evening sunlight on the upper shelves. The Catio is not as big as it looks online, but it is as described. I can walk in it and turn around and that is about all because of the shelves. All in all, I am very happy with the Catio. I am adding some plants around the outside of it so the cats won't feel so exposed. I will be putting a bird feeder and squirrel feeder just across from it so they can watch and enjoy "natural entertainment." I would definitely recommend this Catio, but be prepared for unclear instructions. All that was needed for assembly was a battery operated phillips screwdriver. He also installed a pet door through the double wall of my mobile home. I decided where to put the pet door and then once installed in the correct position, he simply cut the Catio wire to the same shape and size as the pet door. One special addition - I cut and painted measured pieces of plywood 12" tall to put around the 3 open sides of the Catio. There are feral and neighbor's cats around and they have a tendency to spray (tom cats). So this barrier is to stop them from spraying into the Catio so as not to upset my spayed and neutered cats. It works perfectly, one sprayed last night! Today I also put some hot pepper seeds and cayenne pepper down around the outside of the plywood as a deterrent . This won't harm the wild cats, just deter them. It also works well in my garden as the wild cats want to use it as a litter box! Below are pictures of the Catio on my deck and 3 of my cats checking it out immediately after assembly!

I have nothing but praise and a hart felt. Thank you. For this company…. It was well worth the money and time. Because the outcome was perfection…. My cats love it and living in Arizona we have HEAT and the WIND. The first time it was put up we had a storm. Well nothing moved this company stands by its product. Thank you do much and all my fur babies say thank you too.

They Absolutely Love It!!❤️
