Aivituvin Catio Outdoor Cat Enclosure Window, Wall-Mounted Large Walk-in Cat Playpen with Scratch Posts, Basket, Platform, Bridge and Sleeping House— Safe, Weatherproof Cats Patio for Multiple Cats

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.

I bought this for my indoor cat who likes to sneak outside with us. I put most of it together by myself. Easy instructions for the most part. Spacious enough for him to be comfy and safe at the same time. Yes, it does a scent when you open it but to be expected. Had a little chip on a corner but nothing that was going to be visible. I bought a cover as well so when the weather is bad I keep it dry. Overall I’m completely happy with this purchase. He goes in on his own and I leave the door open while I’m out with him. He loves it.

Shipment of this catio was a certified nightmare, but that aside the catio itself is a dream oasis for our cats. Box arrived banged up and a bit worse for the where with some damaged pieces we didn’t notice until we had everything out of the box, so do better than we did and examine them before starting. Box is unsurprisingly large and a two team lift. The directions left a lot to be desired but was put together in about 90 minutes and it’s held up wonderfully to our very rotund cats coming in and out very energetically. Ours is under an awning, so I cannot vouche for how well it holds up to all of the elements, but it has definitely stood up to some big wind gusts. Our cats happily go out to yap at our bird feeder, and we can rest easy knowing both the birds and cats are safe and healthy. We love all of the options for access pints and the different levels they can lounge at.

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!

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.

After putting it together it looks exactly like the picture. Unfortunately the window I wanted to attach it to is higher than the catio window. If you want to use the pass through window make sure you measure your window first. I made a elevated bench for it. It does come in lots of pieces, took me several hours to put together. Each piece is marked so look carefully for the item # on the side of the piece. My cat used it right away. Quality seems pretty good. I attached roof with a couple extra screws.

Great quality product and durable. It did come in 2 large heavy boxes. The catio took a little over two hours to put together. I would recommend organizing all pieces before you start assembling it.

I’ve had this catio for my 3 cats about a year now and it’s one of the best purchases i’ve ever made! The year prior to getting this, I had moved, had my first baby, and gotten a divorce. Long story short, my fur babies were stressed with so much change and were having some behavioral issues because of it. Including one that was peeing outside of the box regularly. I tried everything! Vet visits and anxiety medications. Multi-cat home pheromones. More vertical spaces and hiding spaces. Toys and catnip. Moving the litter boxes to different spaces. (We have 3) More playtime. More cuddles. I should’ve taken the jump to invest in this sooner. It came in two boxes. I put it together in an afternoon, completely alone. With a hand screwdriver. 🙃 It was a little difficult figuring out which panels went where but once I got going it got easier. It definitely would’ve been faster with two people and/or with a power drill. But not impossible! I found a kitty door that goes in the window on Amazon as well so they come and go as they please and it helps keep the hot/cold/bugs out. I also got some paver stones and gravel to keep it off the ground, make the bottom even, and help with drainage. They LOVE it! All three. And the behavior issues stopped within a week of having it put together. They’ve used it all seasons, and all of them use it daily to perch, nap, scratch, and jump around from platform to platform. There’s usually only one or two of them at a time as someone else is inside sleeping, stalking, or eating - but there’s enough room when all 3 are in there that they can all have a spot to enjoy. I love the door that I can use to go in and rearrange the boxes, add little beds and cat grass, and do any upkeep. The only issue I’ve had was one cat figured out there was a space up top between the house wall and the roof he could squirm out through, but that’s from my window behind taller than the catio. Just something to be mindful of! I’ve since added a board over that. Hope this helps :) I was a little apprehensive because of the price, but so so worth it!! Every single penny.

Parfait, montage facile !

Ist ein sehr schöner Käfig zu zweit leicht zum aufbauen

Hübsches Gehege, nicht so stabil wie erwartet, beim Zusammenbau (alleine) musste ich schon ziemlich aufpassen, dass nix durchbricht. Unter anderem Seitenschneider beim Zusammenbau erforderlich. Nach recht kurzer Nutzungszeit ist dann ein Türscharnier durchgebrochen. Es regnet und schneit leider teilweise rein, das Dach müsste weiter überstehen. Steht aber ansonsten recht stabil und ist mehrmals wöchentlich im Einsatz.
