What is a cat enclosure or catio?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An RV cat enclosure is an outdoor, closed-in area used for indoor cats who travel or live in an RV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let your adventure cats go outside without fear of them getting lost or hurt because they’ll be safe in their enclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of cat enclosures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here you will find examples of different types of RV cat enclosures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RVers either buy commercially made enclosures and modify them or create homemade catios from scratch. See which ones would work best for you and your cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commercially made and modified cat enclosures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use a wire crate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This catio is made from a wire crate <\/a>and hung from the top of the RV by a strong rope. The rope hangs from an “S” hook attached to the gutter channel near the awning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitty cannot escape because the wire crate is positioned in front of the RV window. Then the kitty’s owners made it extra secure by adding a piece of foam-core board to cover the areas where the crate doesn’t. Finally, they inserted a cat door into the foam core board. As a result, the kitty can come and go as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that the corners of the crate are padded to keep the RV from getting scratched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cat playpens are pretty awesome<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This next RV cat enclosure is a playpen made of wire and can be purchased online<\/a> or in pet stores. It conveniently folds flat and is stored easily during transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see it’s attached up high to this couple’s RV giving the cats a great view of their campsite. Find out how they put it on their RV in their YouTube video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
