About us
Local builders, lifelong cat people.
We're Justin and Alannah — plus Nova, Spritz and Twitch, our in-house product testers. Together we design and build custom catios across Ottawa, Cornwall and SD&G.
Our story
It started with our own cats.
Capital Catios began with a simple idea: cats deserve to feel the sun, sniff the breeze and watch the birds — safely. The off-the-shelf enclosures we found were either flimsy or a poor fit for how people actually use their yards, so we set out to build something better: custom catios designed around your space, with materials that hold up to real Ontario winters, not just a mild afternoon.
Behind every project is a background in construction project management and hands-on building, applied to something a lot more personal than a typical job site. We build every catio with the same attention to detail as any structure meant to last — because that's exactly what it is.
What started as a single build has grown project by project, entirely through word of mouth and happy repeat customers across the region. We keep every job hands-on, from the first quote to the final walkthrough, because we'd rather build a handful of catios right than a lot of them fast.
What we believe
The values behind every build.
01
Built to last
We use rot-resistant cedar and galvanized wire mesh, not the thin kits sold off the shelf — built to handle real Canadian weather, year after year.
02
Designed around you
No two yards are the same, so no two catios are either. Every build is custom to your space, your budget, and your cat.
03
Hands-on, every step
From quote to final install, you're working directly with the people building your catio — not a call center.
04
Proudly local
Based in the region and proud to serve Ottawa, Cornwall, and SD&G directly, with a growing network of local clients and referrals.
