Honestly? Because
We Actually Care.
We're John and Sal — two brothers from Long Island. John runs an animal rescue and builds catios from Orange County. Sal handles every call and consultation personally. We got into this because we love cats. Here's what that means for your build.
6 Things That Actually
Set Us Apart
No fluff, no marketing speak. Just the real reasons people keep recommending us to their cat-owning friends.
100% Custom to Your Home
We don't sell kits. Every single catio we build is designed from scratch around your property — your siding, your yard, your window or door placement. We measure, design, and build specifically for you. No two builds are ever the same.
Fully Predator-Proof Construction
Raccoons, foxes, hawks, neighborhood dogs — your cat will be completely protected. We use heavy-duty galvanized hardware cloth (not cheap chicken wire) secured with screws and washers every few inches so nothing can push through.
Cat-Safe, Non-Toxic Materials
Every piece of lumber and hardware we select is non-toxic and safe for cats. We use pressure-treated wood only where appropriate (never inside the enclosure), and all interior surfaces are cat-friendly. Because we're cat people too.
Built for Northeast Winters
Hudson Valley cold snaps. New England ice. NYC humidity. Our builds are over-engineered for the weather you actually live with. Galvanized hardware, weather-resistant finishes, and structural framing built to last decades — not just a few years.
Real Builders, Not Assemblers
We're actual carpenters — not a company that ships flat-pack panels and calls it a day. We build on-site, adapt to your exact space, handle custom challenges, and make sure everything is plumb, square, and solid before we leave.
One of Us Runs an Animal Rescue
John doesn't just build catios — he runs a non-profit animal rescue. He's spent years rehoming cats who had nowhere to go. That background means everything: he thinks about enrichment, safety, and feline wellbeing in ways most builders never would. This is personal for us.
From First Call to
Happy Cats — Simple.
We keep it straightforward. No confusing quotes, no endless back-and-forth. Just a clean process that gets your cat outside safely.
Start With a Quick Chat
We hop on a call to talk about your cats, your space, and what you're envisioning. No pressure, no hard sell — just a real conversation. If it sounds like a fit, we schedule a small on-site consultation. The fee is tiny and comes straight off your build price if you move forward.
On-Site Measurement
We come to your property, take detailed measurements, and design your catio around your exact space. We handle every tricky angle, grade change, or attachment point.
Custom Design Proposal
You get a clear proposal with dimensions, materials, and pricing. No hidden fees, no surprises. We don't start until you're completely happy with the plan.
Professional Build
We show up on time, work clean, and build your catio to last. Most builds take one to two days. When we leave, your cat is ready to enjoy their new outdoor sanctuary.
“Showed up on time, built it perfectly, and our cats haven't come inside since.”

Real Reviews.
Don't take our word for it. Here's what our neighbors are saying.
“We care for a large feral cat colony and have haphazardly tried to provide the best shelters we could throughout the years. Fortunately for us, we found John and Sal, and with their expertise, vision, and excellent collaboration, they constructed a safe, insulated, feline friendly shelter that is just outstanding! They thought of everything, from cozy bedding to creative lighting, sturdy platforms and access ramps, cat friendly paint colors, two egresses and a Ring system. John and Sal proved to be two of the BEST insofar as ease to speak with, punctuality, meticulousness, fairness, feline knowledge, and construction savvy. We give you our highest recommendation!”
“I recently had a catio built by 2 Brothers Catio and Creations, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience! From start to finish, John and Sal were professional, friendly, and truly passionate about what they do. They listened carefully to my ideas and needs, offered creative suggestions, and turned my vision into reality. The finished catio is beautifully built, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed — my cats are absolutely obsessed with their new space! It's clear that John and Sal put their heart and craftsmanship into every detail. If you're considering building a catio or custom pet space, look no further — 2 Brothers is the best choice you could make.”
“Great overall experience with the catio bros! Built me and my 5 cats an 8x8x8 roofed structure out of our basement and the kitties LOVE it. There's perches and ramps and they are in and out (SAFELY) all day long. Johnny & Sal listened to what I wanted and customized the catio and brought my dream catio to life. And added some really cool touches including lighting, a door and a Ring camera, which is great to keep an eye while I'm out. Thanks guys!!!”
“These guys did an amazing job for us! They are responsive, aim to please and extremely hard working. John was so detail oriented and it showed in every aspect of the Catio. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect related to the Catio — sprinkler heads, lighting, code requirements, even our house alarm system — and answered every neurotic question I could dream up (which is not easy to do!). He was a perfectionist and we could not be happier. Very easy to work with. Highly recommend — don't think twice!”
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know before reaching out — answered straight, no fluff.
Honestly? We hear this one a lot — and the short answer is: you're not comparing the same thing. What you're finding on Google is mostly flat-pack kits that are mass-produced overseas and shipped in a box. Our catios are none of that. Every single build is designed and constructed from scratch, specifically for your home, your yard layout, and your cats.
We use pressure-treated, non-toxic lumber and premium-grade galvanized fencing that's built to survive Long Island winters, not warp and rust after one season. Our framing, joinery, and finish work are done by hand — not assembled from pre-cut parts.
We also use a patent-pending building method that lets us conceal hardware, fasteners, and structural details that are fully exposed on most other catios. The result is a cleaner, more finished look that actually complements your home instead of looking like a job-site afterthought. You're not paying more — you're getting more.
