Indoor and Outdoor Cat Gates, Doors and Enclosures

Cat gates and doors allow you to set boundaries and control your cat’s access to certain areas inside and outside. your home. Common options include:

• Cat Doors and Flaps. Some cats love the outdoors as much as they love spending time in their favorite indoor window perch. Instead of waiting for you to let them in or out, the right cat door gives them the freedom to come and go as they please. You can lock the gate when you want them to remain inside, but for their safety your kitty should always have the option to come back inside once they’re outside. Don’t have a door that will work with a cat door? No problem. Petco has cat doors available for window or wall installation, that come in a variety of sizes and styles. If your cat is allowed to come and go, make sure they’re always wearing proper identification.
• Cat Gates. While many cats are adept jumpers and climbers who won't be deterred by a cat gate, they can be useful for keeping kittens and older pets contained and away from potentially hazardous areas of your home, like staircases and workshops. They're also a great option when introducing a new kitten or puppy to a household with an already established resident cat. They can get to know each other from opposite sides of the gate. And if things get too exciting when they're on the same side, your adult cat can simply jump to a safe space.
• Cat Enclosures. Often cats can get into trouble when they are home alone or need a safe place to be when outside. Unlike cat carriers and crates, a cat enclosure creates a defined and safe play area. Petco carries both indoor and outdoor cat enclosures that are easy to construct. Our stylish cat runs and pens can house one or more cats at a time, depending on size. Place your cat’s kitty litter, perches, toys, food and water in their enclosure to make it a more enjoyable place for your cat to be.
