Cat Balcony Enclosures

Excellent Service

I couldn’t happier with the work of the catworks team today. Due to a booking error they had a very busy day but still managed to get my net up and looking fantastic. Can’t wait to see how they set up the play equipment.
Oh and for a bonus they do payment plans, which was essential for me.

PAWMAZING Cat Enclosures for Balconies to Keep Your Cats Safe

Are you constantly keeping your cats indoors for safety? Or perhaps, you do not have a large backyard where your cats can play or exercise. While cat parents keep their fur babies confined due to safety reasons or space limitations, this can often lead to boredom and anxiety.

Balcony cat enclosures are a popular choice among Melbourne residents who live in apartments and do not have a yard to build a full-size enclosure.

If you have a playful cat with limited outdoor access, you’ll soon notice a drastic change in its overall behaviour, activity and appetite. Before this happens, we can help cat-proof your balcony so you can let your cat roam freely, get some fresh air and exercise without the fear of falling or escaping.

Our cat enclosures for balconies are custom-built to fit any size of balcony, featuring a variety of climbing areas, perches, useful accessories and stimulating toys to keep your cats entertained for hours. We service all across Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula and the nearby areas, and provide a 7-year structural warranty for quality and workmanship.

Perks of A Balcony Cat Enclosure

Cat owners assume balconies and roofs to be safe for their cats. However, they are notorious for dangerous cat falls, leading to severe injuries and even death. Having a cat-safe balcony enables you to rest easy knowing your cats are safe and enjoying their time outdoors.

It protects your feline friends from the risk of falling

It prevents your cat from wandering off and getting lost or injured

It keeps neighbouring pets from attacking your cats

It keeps your cats from catching diseases and saves you from frequent visits to the vet

It helps contain the mess that your cats make, keeping the indoors clean

It promotes your cat’s physical and mental well-being

We do not believe in “one size fits all”. It is only after careful consideration that we design a cat enclosure for your balcony, keeping in mind your cat’s distinct nature and entertainment needs. You’ll be amazed to see how we transform your balcony into your fur baby’s favourite spot to relax and enjoy its “meow-time” basking in the sun.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to build an enclosure?

Each style of enclosure will usually be completed within 1-2 working days and with minimal disruption so you can let your pet out ASAP.

Will it feel like a prison or seem closed in?

You will be surprised by how open our enclosures are. Cat netting is unobtrusive and blends in with its background. When it’s pulled tight and clipped into place it still allows natural light and airflow to flow through.

Can my cat climb the netting?

This usually depends on the athletic ability of your cat, but yes if your cat is highly motivated it can climb or hang off the net.

Our netting is specifically designed for cats so if you do have an acrobatic cat, they will not be harmed by climbing, hanging or rubbing against the net, nor will their antics damage your enclosure.

Will the enclosure be snake, dog and fox proof?

To be honest, while the netting may deter some of these animals, it does not prevent them from accessing the inside of the enclosure. So if you are concerned that these animals may pose a threat to your cat, we can use snake or dog mesh as well as cat netting to ensure the enclosure is safe from any such threats.

Do you install access zips?

Yes we do stock and install zips however they are not very practical. If you want to go in and out of your enclosure via a zip panel you need to ask yourself if you will be able to do so while preventing your cats from escaping as you pass through, especially if you intend to be carrying something as you do. We recommend installing a gate as it is easier and safer to pass through.

Will neighbourhood cats or possums get on top of the netting?’

It’s highly unlikely but not a definite no. Animals find it difficult to walk across the netting and tend to avoid getting on top of it. Once we heard of it being used as a hammock by a lazy cat but it’s safe to say it’s not going to become a wildlife crossing.

Do you also install enclosures for other animals?

While we do cater to special requests, we primarily service cat owners. However, you can always reach out to us if you want to build an enclosure for pets other than cats and we’ll try the best we can to facilitate you.
