Large & Hybrid Breed Catios

Not all cats are built the same — and when it comes to large, athletic, or hybrid breeds, a standard catio simply won’t meet the structural or safety demands required.

We at Custom Pet Enclosures, design and build bespoke, reinforced Catios engineered specifically for powerful cats such as Maine Coons, Savannahs, Bengals, Chausies, and other high‐energy or hybrid breeds.

Every structure is designed with load‐bearing strength, vertical performance, enrichment, and long‐term durability at its core.

​

We provide Specialist Catio Design and installation across Essex, Kent, and the M25 / Greater London area, working with homeowners who require a technically robust, premium outdoor enclosures tailored to both their cat and their property.

​

Why Large & Hybrid Breeds Require Specialist Catio Engineering

​

Large and hybrid cats place significantly higher demands on outdoor structures than average domestic cats. These breeds are typically: - Heavier, stronger, and more muscular - Capable of powerful vertical and horizontal jumps - Highly intelligent and persistent when testing boundaries - Often unsuitable for free roaming due to welfare, safety, or legal considerations.

Catios designed for standard house cats / ready made panel Catios may flex, loosen over time, or fail under repeated impact loads. Our large‐breed Catios are engineered from the outset to withstand sustained use, repeated jumping, and the behavioural traits associated with powerful cats.

​

Maine Coon Catios – Structural Design for Gentle Giants

​

Maine Coons are one of the largest domestic cat breeds, combining substantial body weight with a strong instinct to climb and perch at height.

Our Maine Coon Catios are designed with: - Reinforced timber framing and heavy‐duty mechanical fixings - Extra‐wide, load‐rated shelves and walkways - Elevated platforms calculated to support full adult body weight - Tall vertical layouts to accommodate climbing and jumping behaviour - Integrated weather protection for year‐round outdoor access

All elements are installed to remain rigid and stable, ensuring long‐term safety and comfort.

​

Hybrid & High‐Energy Breed Catios

​

Hybrid breeds such as Savannahs and Bengals require an enhanced level of security and enclosure integrity. These cats are exceptionally agile, fast, and inquisitive, with a strong drive to explore beyond perceived limits.

Our hybrid‐grade catios include: - Fully enclosed, escape‐proof designs with roofed structures - Heavy‐duty mesh selected for strength and claw resistance - Secure fixing systems to prevent levering, flexing, or panel movement - Extended sightlines and elevated observation zones - Purpose‐designed enrichment areas including logs, climbing routes, and activity platforms.

For many hybrid owners across Essex, Kent, and Greater London, a professionally engineered Catio is a fundamental part of responsible ownership.

​

Designed for Your Cat, Your Garden, and Your Location

​

Every large or hybrid breed Catio we build is completely bespoke. Our design process considers: - Breed‐specific size, strength, and behaviour - Your garden layout, access points, and boundaries - Structural integration with your home - Visual impact and property aesthetics - Long‐term durability in the UK's climate

The result is a Catio that functions as a permanent, well‐engineered extension of your home, rather than a temporary or generic enclosure.
