A catio is a special patio built especially for cats. They’re usually an enclosed patio that allows indoor cats access to the outside without giving them total access to the outside to protect them from getting lost or attacked by dogs.

In Portland, so many people have catios that they’re now offering tours. For a $10 self-paced or $15 virtual tour, you can visit multiple catios to see what’s possible and what you might want to offer your own cat. All funds go towards  Portland Audubon’s and Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon’s Cats Safe at Home campaign.
