Cat Furniture, Cat Walls, and Catio Installation in Denver & the Foothills
Cats may be small, but they live large. If you’ve ever watched your cat leap from a windowsill, scale the back of a couch, or squeeze into a box that seems way too small, you already know they crave vertical space and cozy nooks. That’s where custom cat furniture, wall-mounted climbing systems, and outdoor catios come in. These aren’t just trendy accessories; they’re investments in your cat’s health, happiness, and your home’s harmony.
If you’re in Denver, Conifer, Evergreen, or Jefferson County, I can help design and install these cat-friendly upgrades so they’re safe, sturdy, and built to last.
Cat Frames: Artwork Meets Cat Lounge
Ever wish your wall art could double as cat furniture? With custom cat frames, it can. These framed wall boxes give your cat a secure perch that doubles as décor. Instead of another generic scratching post, your cat gets a conversation-starting hideaway that blends seamlessly with your home.
Benefits:
Elevated, stress-free resting spots
Adds charm and character to your walls
Protects furniture from scratching and climbing
Cat Walls: Vertical Playgrounds for Indoor Cats
Cats are natural climbers. Wall-mounted climbing shelves, steps, and bridges give them their own vertical territory to explore. Whether you live in a mountain cabin or a Denver townhouse, cat walls maximize your space while giving your cat enrichment and exercise.
Why it matters:
Reduces stress by creating safe spaces
Encourages activity for indoor cats
Helps multi-cat households avoid turf wars
Outdoor Catios: Fresh Air, Safely
Want your cat to enjoy the outdoors without the dangers of traffic, predators, or getting lost? That’s what a catio is for. From simple window boxes to full outdoor enclosures, a catio lets your feline soak up sunshine and watch the world go by, safely.
Homeowner perks:
Protects gardens from curious paws
Keeps cats healthy and stimulated
Adds unique property value and curb appeal
Custom Cat Furniture & Hidden Solutions
From built-in scratching posts to hidden litter box cabinets, custom furniture makes your home more cat-friendly without sacrificing style. The key is professional installation, so it looks clean, holds weight, and lasts.
Why Hire a Handyman for Cat Installations?
DIY may seem tempting, but improper installation can lead to unsafe mounts or messy finishes. A professional ensures:
Sturdy, weight-tested anchors
Seamless finishes that match your décor
Correct placement based on cat behavior
Bottom line: Cat furniture isn’t just about spoiling your pet; it’s about creating harmony in your home. From stylish cat frames that double as art to sprawling cat walls and secure outdoor catios, the right installations keep your feline happy and your home intact.
Our Professional Installation Process
Phase 1: Free In-Home Assessment & Design Consultation
Every Jefferson County installation begins with understanding your home's unique characteristics and your cat's behavior patterns. During our consultation, we:
Assess wall structure and mounting points - Jefferson County homes built in the 1960s-1980s often have different stud spacing that affects mounting strategies
Evaluate your cat's climbing preferences - Age, mobility, and personality determine optimal shelf spacing and pathway design
Review indoor/outdoor access points - For catios, we ensure proper integration with existing doors, windows, or pet doors
Discuss weather protection needs - Colorado's intense UV exposure and temperature swings require specific material considerations
Provide a detailed written estimate with timeline, materials, and labor breakdown
Phase 2: Custom Design & Material Selection

Create scaled drawings showing shelf placement, pathways, and mounting points
Select materials rated for your cat's weight plus 50% safety margin
