As cat owners, we cherish our pets’ independence and curiosity—traits that make felines such fascinating companions. Many of us long to give our cats access to the outdoors so they can explore, bask in the sun, and enjoy nature. But with freedom comes risk—not just to our cats, but to native wildlife.
At ProtectaPet, we believe that giving your cat safe outdoor access doesn’t have to come at a cost to local ecosystems. Our innovative cat containment systems—from professionally installed catios to DIY cat fence barriers—are designed to strike the perfect balance between cat wellbeing and wildlife protection.
🐦 The Impact of Free-Roaming Cats on Wildlife
Numerous studies have shown that domestic cats are one of the leading human-related causes of wildlife decline. According to research from the Mammal Society and University of Exeter, UK cats catch an estimated 27 million birds each year—just one part of a much larger toll on native species.
By allowing our pets to roam unrestricted, we unintentionally contribute to the decline of wildlife populations—especially in suburban and urban areas where cats have fewer natural predators.
🐾 Freedom Without the Risk
ProtectaPet’s range of containment solutions is designed to give cats the best of both worlds: the mental stimulation and freedom of outdoor life, paired with safety from roads, predators, and wildlife conflicts.
Our solutions include:
-
Cat Fence Barriers that attach to existing garden fences.
-
Freestanding Cat Enclosures for gardens without boundaries.
-
Catios for patio areas.
Each product is engineered with cat behavior and welfare in mind—tested and trusted by thousands of cat owners across the UK and beyond.
🌱 Your Cat, Your Garden, a Healthier Planet
Giving your cat access to the outdoors doesn’t have to mean compromising on safety or conservation. By choosing a cat containment system, you’re not only safeguarding your pet—you’re actively participating in the protection of vulnerable wildlife species, from garden birds to hedgehogs.
You're also reducing the chance of your cat getting into fights, catching diseases, or being injured by traffic—all while offering them a stimulating, enriched environment.
