My partner, who works in non-profit animal sheltering, asked me whether there are any custom catio builders in Asheville (Catio = patio + cat.) She told me that most cats really want to be outside and need regular exposure to the sun & fresh air, but responsible cat owners know that letting their feline family members roam free out of doors can be bad for the local ecosystem and worse, bad for the kitty’s health. Kittyfriends can get parasites, fight with other cats, or hit by cars - it’s a big scary world for a little buddy. So after discussing it, I realized that in addition to residential remodel for human clients, a good side hustle would be building custom screen room/sun porches for feline clients.
