Happier cats. Calmer homes.

Big adventures.

Give your cat the freedom to explore, without the dangers of the outside world. CatProof designs and installs outdoor containment systems around the garden perimeter you already have.

Work with what you have.

Tree guards

Close the clever escape routes.

How it works

Three steps.
Then open the door.

We take care of the boundary. They get the garden.

01

We meet the escape artist.

We walk the property with you and map every wall, tree, gate and suspiciously convenient launch point.

Our solutions

Built around your garden.
Designed around your cat.

No two properties are the same. Neither are the cats trying to get beyond them.

We design every CatProof system around your existing walls, fences, trees and terrain, keeping the containment discreet and the garden looking like yours.

Garden walls & fences

Angled containment designed around the boundary you already have. Discreet from the garden. Even harder to notice from the street.

Works with your existing boundary
Tree guard fitted around a trunk

Trees are for climbing. Not escaping.

Custom guards stop trunks and overhanging branches becoming convenient exits, without harming the tree.

Tree friendly. Cat proof.
Tensioned netting above a garden wall corner

For the awkward bits.

Strong, UV-stable netting for courtyards, balconies and tricky boundaries. Taut, tidy and built for Cape Town wind.

Discreet. Durable. Built for here.

Custom solutions

Odd rooflines. Heritage walls. Pergolas. Determined Bengals. If it can be climbed, we'll work out how to contain it.

Complex gardens welcome

Maintenance & upgrades

Annual check-ups, storm repairs and extensions when you, your garden, or apparently your cat's ambitions expand.

The CatProof Guarantee

If they find a way out,
we find a way to close it.

We stand behind every CatProof installation.

If your cat finds a way beyond an area we've secured, we'll return, work out how they managed it and correct the containment at no additional charge.*

Because CatProof should mean cat proof.

About CatProof

We're cat people.

This started with our own journey.

We love cats, and we believe they should be able to experience the outside world: grass under their paws, sunshine, trees to climb and all the tiny adventures that come with having a garden.

But we also know the other side of opening that door.

The roads. The dogs. The neighbourhood fights. The wildlife.

We wanted their freedom without our fear.

FAQ

Asked by every cat person we meet.

Will CatProof work for my garden?

Probably. We don't sell standard kits because gardens aren't standard. We assess your walls, fences, gates, trees, neighbouring structures and other potential escape routes, then design the system around them.

My cat is a serious escape artist. Will this actually work?

That's precisely what we're designing for.

We look at how cats climb, jump and use surrounding structures rather than simply adding something to the top of a wall and hoping everyone behaves.

Your installation is also backed by The CatProof Guarantee. If your cat gets beyond an area we've secured, we'll return and correct the containment at no additional charge.*

Is it safe for my cat?

Yes.

Our systems work by preventing access to escape routes rather than hurting or frightening your cat.

No electric shocks. No sharp spikes. Nothing designed to cause pain.

What does CatProof cost?

It depends on the property.

The biggest factors are the length and type of boundary, accessibility, trees, gates, terrain, netted areas and unusual structures.

For an exact quote, we conduct a R250 site assessment. If you choose to proceed with your installation, the R250 is deducted from your final invoice.
