Cats kill billions of birds and small animals annually. The outdoors are also perilous for cats. But relegating cats to the indoors can lead to unhappy felines with behavioral issues. Catios – cat patios or enclosures – are the most humane way to allow feline family members to experience the outdoors safely. This presentation will cover nearly everything there is to know about catios — including best practices, tips, and types of recommended materials. There will also be time for questions at the end.

Alan Breslauer, AKA Catio Guy on social media, launched Custom Catios in 2017 to serve cat guardians throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, and the surrounding areas. Catio Guy has worked with cat world luminaries Jackson Galaxy and Kitten Lady, rescues including CatCafe Lounge and Lange Foundation, and hundreds of feline families. An industry innovator, he relishes the opportunity to share his knowledge and expertise so that more fur-balls can experience the joy of the outdoors safely.
