DIY Catio Workshop
About
Catio Workshop for Responsible Cat Owners ๐พJoin The Forever Project in partnership with the City of Rockingham for an interactive and practical DIY Catio Workshop at Bunnings Baldivis.
๐ Date: Saturday, 2 May
โฐ Time: 10:00am - 1:00pm
๐ Location: Bunnings Baldivis
A catio (cat patio) is a secure outdoor enclosure that allows your cat to safely enjoy the outdoors while protecting local wildlife. In Australia, roaming cats are estimated to kill an average of 110 native animals per year-catios are a simple, effective solution that benefits both pets and the environment.
Cats that are safely contained can live up to four times longer and enjoy healthier, more enriched lives. Catios provide a safe space for climbing, exploring, and basking in the sun- supporting your catโs natural instincts while giving you peace of mind.
This immersive workshop will be led by sustainability expert Chris Ferreira, who will guide you through:
- How to design and build your own catio
- Choosing the right setup based on your space and your catโs needs
- Creating a safe, stimulating outdoor environment
- Tips for a beautiful, Waterwise garden that attracts wildlife, once your cat is safely enclosed
Catios can range from simple window enclosures to larger backyard structures, often featuring shelves, ramps, tunnels, and perches to keep your cat active and engaged.
Whether you're just starting to explore the idea or ready to build your own, this workshop will give you the knowledge and confidence to get started.
๐ Book your spot now and create a safer, happier life for your cat, while protecting our native wildlife.
