Cat tunnels & runs in Winnipeg

Your yard, now with a feline transit system. Mesh tunnels and runways give your cats a safe way to roam from window to catio, along the fence, over the deck, or around the yard. They get their freedom, and you get to stop worrying about where they’ve wandered off to.

  • Ground, fence or overhead

Room to actually run

Turn one catio into a whole territory

A run is a long, narrow enclosure that gives cats distance to cover. A tunnel is how they get from one place to another. Put them together and a single catio becomes a network: house to deck, deck to yard, yard to a lookout on the fence.

They're also the easiest way to add to a catio you already have, whether we built it or someone else did.

A tunnel or run is a good fit if

  • Your cats need to get from a window to a catio across the yard
  • You have a long fence line or side yard doing nothing
  • Your cats have outgrown the catio you have
  • You have a young, busy cat who needs to run, not just sit

Built properly

What goes into one

  • Sized for your cats

    Tall and wide enough that a big cat never has to crouch, with room for two to pass each other.

  • Ground, fence or overhead

    Along the ground, mounted to a fence, or up and over a deck or pergola, wherever the route makes most sense.

  • Ready for the weather

    Solid tops where snow would pile up, open mesh where you want the airflow.

  • Rest stops on the way

    Shelves, lookouts and little platforms along the route, so the journey is half the fun.

Tunnel & run questions

  • Can a tunnel connect to a catio I already have?

    Yes, whether we built it or not. Adding a tunnel or run is one of the easiest ways to give cats more room without starting over.

  • Will a tunnel fill up with snow?

    A run along the ground can drift in over the winter. We roof the stretches that need it, and many owners simply close off the far end until spring.

  • How long can a run be?

    As long as your yard and budget allow. For the longer adventures, we’ll add rest stops, perches, and lookout spots along the way, so your cat has plenty of places to stop, lounge, survey their kingdom, and judge the neighbours.

  • Can a run go along a shared fence?

    Only on your side, and only with your neighbour's okay. A shared fence is worth talking over with them before build day, and we're happy to show them the plan.
