Safe and Sound Pet Enclosures

29/06/2026

While the rain’s pouring down tonight, we’re thinking back to a beautiful sunny weekend in Bendigo, where we built a brand new cat enclosure for Ray.

We had a very enthusiastic apprentice on the tools… Evie! 🔨😄 She was lending a hand, learning the ropes, and keeping the team smiling all day.

There’s something pretty special about working together as a father-and-daughter team. Plenty of laughs, a bit of learning, and another enclosure built with care. We reckon that’s a pretty good way to spend a sunny Saturday. ☀️🐾

Thanks again, Ray, for trusting us with your backyard. Wishing you all the best in your new home🐾

Stay warm everyone, cuddle your cats a little tighter tonight! ❤️

📍Built with care across regional Victoria.

🌿 More freedom for your cat.
🦜 Less risk for wildlife.
🏡 Built for real Aussie backyards.

It’s been a little quiet on here lately… and that’s because we’ve been flat out building cat enclosures across regional Victoria 🐾

In between creating outdoor spaces for lucky cats, we’ve also squeezed in a pretty special milestone — Dee officially becoming an Aussie citizen 🇦🇺 and celebrating our youngest team member Evie turning 18 and passing her driving test. Well done Evie 😻

Over the past few months we’ve spent time with some truly lovely people. Every garden, every home, and every enclosure has been completely unique. There’s been lots of creative problem solving, plenty of chats about cat-safe landscaping (usually encouraged by Dee while Col does the heavy lifting 😂), and many mornings spent with coffee in hand measuring spaces twice… sometimes three times… making sure everything feels just right.

And honestly, that’s why we love what we do.

Because these enclosures are about so much more than cat netting.

With new cat containment laws rolling out across many local councils, more Aussie cat owners are looking for ways to keep their cats safe without keeping them stuck indoors.

But it’s not only about our pets…
It’s about protecting our incredible native wildlife too 🦜

Every enclosure we build is custom designed for your home, your space, and your cat’s personality.

From narrow side paths and verandas to full backyards, we transform everyday outdoor areas into secure spaces where cats can climb, stretch, nap in the sunshine and safely enjoy the fresh air ☀️🐈

Spaces that feel good for you, your cat… and your community.

This month we’re also very excited to support the Safe Cat Safe Wildlife campaign happening in Public Libraries Victoria throughout May, alongside organisations like the RSPCA Victoria and Zoos Victoria. It’s such a wonderful initiative helping raise awareness around responsible cat ownership while sharing ideas to improve our cats’ wellbeing too.

If you’ve been thinking about an enclosure for ages, now could be the perfect time to explore what’s possible before the new changes arrive. Sometimes a simple, affordable enclosure can completely transform a space — and create a new favourite sunny spot for winter ☀️🐾

Maybe we’ll bump into each other at a local library… or perhaps you’ll give us a call or send a text for a chat. Dee absolutely loves hearing everyone’s ideas and unique situations and working out how we can help.

And to our Safe & Sound community — thank you for continuing to send photos, videos, updates and plant recommendations 🌿

Seeing our enclosures well and truly “lived in” by happy cats enjoying their best lives genuinely makes our day every single time.

Thanks for being here and supporting our small family business. It truly means a lot.
