Wooden Outdoor Cattery
Budget III: Play CollectionSix landing platforms, wall-mount or freestanding, removable back panels for window access — this is the outdoor cattery that actually fits how real cat owners live.

"What sold me on this cattery is the flexibility. Most outdoor enclosures force you to choose between freestanding on a patio or attached to your house -- this one does both, with pre-drilled wall mount holes and removable back panels that open directly to a window or cat door. Six generously sized landing platforms at 17.75 x 11.75 inches means multiple cats have real perching options, not just a single shelf to fight over. The glazed fir with composite asphalt shingles is the right material combination for something that lives outside year-round. I selected it because it solves real problems -- access, space, and weather -- without requiring you to redesign your backyard around it."
Head of Product CurationThe Wooden Outdoor Cattery is designed for cat owners who want to give their cats genuine outdoor territory without the compromises that come with most enclosures. At nearly six feet tall and over five feet wide, it provides enough vertical and horizontal space for multiple cats to occupy simultaneously without competing for position. Six large landing platforms -- each 17.75 x 11.75 inches -- are sized for a full-grown cat to sit, stretch, and survey comfortably. The composite asphalt shingle roof and glazed fir frame handle outdoor exposure properly, not just adequately.
The installation flexibility is what makes this genuinely practical. Use it as a freestanding structure on a patio or deck, or mount it directly to your house exterior using the pre-drilled wall mount holes. Remove the back panels to align with a window or cat door, giving your cats free indoor-outdoor movement without supervision. The large main door at 23.5 x 45.5 inches gives you easy full-body access for cleaning, feeding, and interaction. All of this is built from eco-friendly fir treated with a water-based stain -- non-toxic, weather-resistant, and maintenance-friendly.
Assembly is rated at 45 minutes with all hardware included. Realistically allow 60-90 minutes for most people, and have a second person on hand to hold panels during framing. Assemble in its final location -- once built it is not easy to move.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the wall mount work? Do I need to drill into my house? +
The cattery has pre-drilled holes in the frame for wall mounting. You would use appropriate exterior hardware -- lag bolts or exterior screws -- to secure it to your house framing or a solid exterior wall. The removable back panels allow you to open up the rear of the cattery to align with a window opening or cat door, creating a direct indoor-outdoor passage. If you prefer not to drill into your home, the cattery works equally well as a freestanding structure on a level patio or deck surface.
How many cats can comfortably use this at once? +
The six landing platforms and the overall footprint make this comfortable for 2-4 cats simultaneously. Each platform at 17.75 x 11.75 inches comfortably fits one average-sized cat. The vertical spread of platforms means cats can claim separate levels rather than competing for the same spot -- which is what actually determines whether multiple cats use an enclosure peacefully. For households with more than 4 cats, a second enclosure or a larger custom cattery would be more appropriate.
Will this hold up outside year-round in cold or wet climates? +
The glazed fir frame with water-based stain is designed for outdoor exposure and handles normal seasonal weather well. The composite asphalt shingle roof provides solid rain protection. In climates with heavy snow loads or prolonged freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend clearing snow from the roof after heavy falls and applying an exterior wood sealant annually to maintain the frame's weather resistance. The one-year warranty covers manufacturing defects but normal weathering is expected in outdoor use.
How realistic is the 45-minute assembly estimate? +
For most people, allow 60-90 minutes with two people. The instructions are detailed and all hardware is included. We recommend assembling in the final location -- the cattery is not easy to move once fully built. A power drill speeds the process significantly. The pre-drilled holes and included hardware make the assembly straightforward, but the size of the panels means a second person is genuinely helpful for holding pieces while fastening.
Can my cat access this through a window without supervision? +
Yes -- that is one of the best use cases for this cattery. Remove the back panels, align the cattery opening with your window, and install a cat door in the window frame. Your cat can then move freely between the indoor space and the cattery without any doors to open or supervision required. The fully enclosed mesh structure means they are safely contained in the cattery at all times. Many customers pair this with a standard window cat door insert for a clean, permanent indoor-outdoor setup.
