Tailor the Catio to Your Space with Two Height Options

The Lion’s Den series goes beyond the ordinary with two height options, allowing you to customize the outdoor haven for your beloved cats.

1. Petit (72” Tall)
2. Standard (92” Tall)

Choose Your Configuration: Three-Sided or Four-Sided?

Tailor the Lion’s Den Catio to your home’s layout with flexible configuration options. Whether you prefer a fully enclosed four-sided design or the convenience of a three-sided enclosure, there’s a perfect fit for every space.

Four-Sided Enclosure:

Completely enclosed with wire mesh panels, these enclosures can be used as standalone enclosures and offer complete protection, creating a secure outdoor space for your cats to enjoy. They can also be connected to cat tunnels, stairs, or bridges that lead to the home or a larger network of cat enclosures.

Three-Sided Enclosures:

Perfect for installation against a home over a window or cat-accessible door, three-sided enclosures provide seamless indoor/outdoor access. The side that will connect to a building will be left open except for a 6″ attachment strip around the outside edge for fastening to your desired structure with included hardware.

The Lion’s Den Series offers two distinct 3-sided options:

• Style 1: Short Side Open – This design keeps one 46” side open for attachment to a structure so the catio stretches out away from the building.
• Style 3: Long Side Open – This design keeps one of the 92” sides open for attachment so that the catio runs alongside the building.

Door Position

The Lion’s Den catios are fabricated with the door positioned on a 46” side as shown. If you would like an alternative door position, you are welcome to build your own kit or work with our team to design one on your behalf!

Please review the important information below about this item.

Our enclosures are made from durable galvanized steel mesh panels that are then powder coated black to ensure a long-lasting weatherproof finish.

Floor and Shelves

Our shelves and floor are cut to size and made from cedar which is naturally resistant to water, bugs, rot, and mold. It the ideal material choice for outdoor catio shelving and flooring.

Human Entry Doors

The access doors are 2 feet wide and 5 feet tall. This purposely small door is designed small for a reason. It is installed 4 inches off the ground as well. The door has been tested since 2003 as the most effective way to force the person entering to be mindful of their surroundings. When you enter a door like this, you will naturally be careful of where you step, what is above you and to the side. All of this awareness has proven time and time again to minimize any would-be kitty escapes during entry. The swing of the door (left or right hand swing) is adjustable and can be set to either option during assembly.

Holes for Tunnels, Towers, Stairs, etc.

Component holes are not cut where the tunnels, bridges, stairs, and other components meet the enclosures. Since the mesh is relatively easy to cut on-site during assembly, we leave the choice on where these holes are located up to you so you can position them as you see fit. This also avoids costly mistakes being made and/or accommodates site issues discovered during assembly

Enclosures will arrive partially assembled and flat packed on a pallet. Assembly is straightforward for anyone who would consider themselves “handy.” Paper instructions will be provided. It is recommended that at least two reasonably healthy people are present to install the enclosures. Knowledge of basic carpentry and assembly is helpful.

Clips will be provided that secure the enclosure together. In addition, a special tool for snugly fitting/closing the clips is also provided with each enclosure order.

Once unpacked, you will arrange your enclosure near or on the assembly site. Using provided 3 prong clips and specialty pliers, you will connect the edges of your enclosure by setting the edges until you have a fully enclosed and free-standing enclosure. 

At that point, you can then attached to structure/buildings as necessary. Then you can create any needed holes in the enclosure to accept tunnels, stairs, or other accessory components as needed (holes are not made by Habitat Haven – they are made during assembly installation to offer maximum flexibility and minimize the chance for errors.
