Aivituvin Catio Outdoor Cat Enclosure Large Walk in Cat Kennel Kitten Cage with Platforms and Small Houses

Building this took several hours and it arrived in two boxes. I definitely recommend two people due to the size. I had my teenage son separate out everything before we started, but we built it together. We built the four walls inside our house, then moved outside to put them all together.The wood is stained and stamped with the assembly letters, which I liked more than peeling off stickers that make a mess after you are done, but it is a bit tougher to see the letters (dark grey on light grey). Make sure your lighting is good when building. The wood is super soft so you have to go very slow when the final screw tightening is done or risk splitting the wood.The wood staining is very visually appealing, but allows for chips or scratches more easily if rubbed against something too hard. Situational awareness is key in this regard. We didn’t go with the standard configuration of shelves/boxes inside but it was very easy to design this to your specific needs. The softer wood also allows for easy customization if you put something other shelves or what have you inside. We ended up cutting a section out of wire out and installing a shelf upside down for the window entrance, for example. You can also easily remove wired sections if you want since the wire is attached with wood staples, but since I knew my location was permanent, I opted to just cut directly into it.We installed this under a covered porch with concrete underneath so we put down a faux grass rug and we also left the roof flat, instead of angled, which saved a small amount of time and doesn’t effect anything because of our placement. At 5’7” I easily fit through the door so I can change things around to suit my current front porch holiday theme. This was a big selling point for me, to not have to duck through the door to enter.We also bought a combination sliding bolt lock for the door so no one could just walk up and open it without the code since we live in a neighborhood and I didn’t want someone possibly walking up and taking my cats. The other small side doors I screwed shut, but this can easily be undone for possible future expansion.All four of our cats already love this catio. It allows them to go outside to view birds and nap in the sun while being protected. All four can easily use it at once and I feel it’s a must so that my indoor cats can experience the outdoors as much as possible. I’m so happy with the beautiful result.

Best purchase ever!This catio fits perfectly on my patio! It has been a game-changer for my cats’ happiness. Having connected it to the house with a window-installed cat door, they have the freedom to come and go as they wish.They love being able to lay in it and watch the birds and squirrels throughout the day, and to prowl in the night (beautifully lit up with rope lights! Haha) after critters that buzz around them.It’s also a great outlet to the backyard when we are home. We prop the “human’s” door open on the catio, and let them safely explore the backyard, knowing they have an immediate entrance back to the safety of home!It has stood up tremendously well throughout all of the seasons of Oklahoma (wind, snow, ice, hail, heat, and rain) on my covered patio. I don’t know how long it would last out in the open. The wood is very light and not very sturdy.It is a good size for the cats, and accessible by humans to clean, but not necessarily hand out. A bit tight for that!

It survived Tropical Storm Helene!Beyond that, this is plenty big for my fat cat and he took to it quickly, despite being fairly skittish.The construction is... fine. Lightweight wood and decent wire. Not super sturdy but it works for the purpose. Plenty of doors to access your pet at different levels. You will need to plan on removing whichever door is going to go against your windows or doggie door.Construction took 2.5 people and several hours but isn't too hard, just awkward and needs prep organization.Overall, would buy again. It's definitely relieved some of my cat's angst and it's weathered several storms now!

Great value for money- easy to assemble as the directions were GREAT! Step by step and all hardware provided- sturdy after assembly & cats are loving it! Would highly recommend

-you absolutely need a power screw driver or you are going to have a bad time-plan to make this on concrete to help you keep everything flat-the quality is so/so. I expected better for how much it costs. Nothing was majorly wrong, but it does look pretty cheap. Like a lot of pieces don't fit together perfectly, some pegs were broken off, some of the wood/pain was chipping or cracked, etc. The roof is great! Very waterproof. I did a lot of research before buying a catio and I still think this one is the best for the price.-FOR YOU CAT'S SAFETY: I would recommend buying a different door latch. This one is way too easy to accidentally open and is just not very secure. I also plan to add a latch to the inside of the door so that I can close it behind myself to hang out inside with my kitties. Its really windy where I live so I'm also going to buy some stuff to reinforce the junctions just to stabilize it a bit more. Its heavy enough to be pretty sound, but light enough that me and my husband can move it for cleaning. I do like how customizable it is.
