Catios Help Create Purrfect Backyard Habitats for Cats and Wildlife
Dear Backyard Habitat Builder,
Are you looking for a way to reduce your cat’s impact on wildlife in your backyard habitat? Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind event! The fourth annual Catio Tour will showcase eight of Portland’s coolest outdoor cat enclosures—including one on a floating home—on Saturday, Sept. 10, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Hosted by the Audubon Society of Portland and the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon, this self-guided tour seeks to inspire cat guardians to build or buy their own outdoor cat enclosure so their felines can exercise and soak up the sun safely. Backyard enclosures from DIY to designer keep cats safe from outdoor hazards while also protecting wildlife from cat predation.
There’s a $10 suggested minimum donation to attend.
The Catio Tour is part of Portland Audubon’s and the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon’s “Cats Safe at Home”™ campaign, which seeks to address the challenges associated with cat overpopulation in the Portland metropolitan area in a humane and environmentally responsible manner. Both organizations believe every cat deserves a safe home where it is loved, cared for and kept free from hazards.
