Our Story
More than 50 custom catios built across Christchurch and Canterbury — every one designed around a home, a garden and the cats who live there.
Why Cats Love a SafeCats NZ Catio
Every cat deserves the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors safely. A SafeCats NZ catio gives your cat the freedom to experience fresh air, sunshine and nature while remaining completely protected from traffic, predators, disease and the many dangers of roaming.
Our catios are designed around natural feline behaviours, encouraging cats to climb, jump, scratch, explore, observe and relax. Every enclosure is thoughtfully customised with features such as elevated shelves, climbing ramps, scratch posts, enrichment zones and our signature Catio Condos, creating an environment that keeps cats physically active and mentally stimulated.
Whether your cat is an adventurous explorer, a senior who enjoys lounging in the sun, or an indoor cat discovering the outdoors for the first time, a SafeCats NZ catio provides a safe, enriching space where they can thrive every day.
Who We Are
SafeCats NZ is Canterbury's specialist catio builder, creating premium custom outdoor cat enclosures that enrich the lives of both cats and their owners. Having designed and built more than 50 custom catios across Canterbury, we've helped cats of all ages, breeds and abilities safely enjoy the outdoors.
Every project is individually designed to complement your home while meeting the unique needs and personalities of your cats. Our catios are more than enclosed spaces—they're purpose-built environments featuring climbing zones, elevated shelves, tunnels, jump stations, scratch areas and our exclusive Catio Condos, all carefully planned to encourage natural behaviours, exercise and exploration.
From compact courtyard catios to large multi-level enclosures with elevated tunnels and skywalks, we're passionate about creating beautiful, secure outdoor spaces where every cat can thrive.
