How It Works

From your door to their outdoor.

No tradies, no quotes, no three-week wait. Here's exactly how a Catnip goes from a flat-pack on your doorstep to your cat's favourite spot in the yard.

Four steps

Easier than a flat-pack bookshelf. And a lot more rewarding.

1

Choose your space

Balcony, courtyard, backyard, or beside the van. Tell us where it's going and we'll point you to the kit that fits.

2

Pick a kit or build your own

Grab a ready-to-go kit, or drag panels, tunnels and accessories together in the builder. Your call.

3

We ship it flat-pack

It lands on your doorstep Australia-wide, Bondi to Broome. Free shipping on orders over $250.

Assemble and let the holiday begin

Up in an afternoon with the tools in the box. Open the door and watch them discover the outdoors, safely.

How long it takes

Most of it goes up in minutes.

Real assembly times for a first-timer. No power tools, no cutting, no cursing.

Before you build, the usual questions.

Do I need a flat surface?

Ideally yes. If your ground is flat and level, the enclosure sits directly on it. On an angle? You can either level the ground yourself or use Catnip timber surrounds to create a level base.

Do I need any special tools?

No. The fastening pliers you need come in the box, and there's nothing to cut or drill. If you can open the packaging, you can build it. The hardest part is keeping the cat out of the box.

Can one person do it, or do I need a hand?

Most setups are a comfortable one-person job. For the larger backyard builds, a second pair of hands makes holding panels while you clip them a bit easier and quicker.

Can I add to it later?

That's the whole idea. Catnip is modular. Start with one enclosure, add tunnels, exit boxes and accessories whenever you like. The panels and clips from every era still connect.

Ready when you are

Right, let's get them outside.

Pick a kit that fits your space, or start from scratch in the builder. Either way, it turns up ready to go.
