Cat lovers and advocates of wildlife are sponsoring a showcase tour of home cat patios, outdoor cat
enclosures to keep cats safe from outdoor hazards while also protecting wildlife from cat predation.
Catios Tour to Inspire Safety
A very popular Portland, one-
of-a-kind event, the 7th Annual
Catio Tour will showcase 10 di-
verse outdoor cat enclosures in
north, northeast and southeast
Portland.
Hosted by the Feral Cat Co-
alition of Oregon and Portland
Audubon, the $10 self-guided tour
is meant to inspire cat owners to
build or buy their own outdoor cat
enclosure to keep cats safe from
outdoor hazards while also pro-
tecting wildlife from cat preda-
tion. The event sells out so people
are encouraged to get tickets early.
Funds from the Catio Tour sup-
port the Portland Audubon’s and
Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon’s
“Cats Safe at Home” campaign,
which aims to reduce free-roam-
ing cats in the Portland area with
solutions that are good for cats
and wildlife. To sign up for the
tour, coming Saturday, Sept.7
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., visit Cats-
SafeAtHome.org.
