Description

Overview

Give your cat or dog the freedom they deserve without permanently modifying your home. This modular, expandable window cat door is designed to fit a wide range of window sizes by using a simple interlocking filler system. Just print the main door section, add as many extension panels as needed, and create a custom-fit solution for nearly any window opening.

 

Whether you're providing access to a screened patio, catio, enclosed pool area, or simply allowing your feline friends to move between spaces, this design keeps installation easy and completely reversible.
