The world needs to know about catios- about how they protect native birds and lizards from cats, how they protect cats from cars and coyotes and add to the quality of their lives, and how easy and inexpensively they can be to put together or build. Because right now, when you say the word “catio”- most people have no idea what you’re talking about!

It’s a simple idea, it’s very similar to a native garden tour or historic home tour… you drive around town one day checking out awesome catios. There is also a virtual aspect for those who don’t want to drive or those who want to show their catio but don’t want the public over.

Teranga has successfully organized several large scale events in the past, so this is nothing new for us. We hope to gather a group of volunteers specifically for this event.

We hope to involve as many local nonprofits as care about native birds, lizards and also cats.

Together, we can make a difference in our communities.
