About Us
THE KRITTER KONDO®
IS A PATENT PENDING PRODUCT
Welcome to Kritter Kommunity, I hope you enjoy my website.
I live in the city and over 6 years ago adopted two adorable Kitties, Madi and Abi. I have a courtyard and love to cookout; enjoy the sunshine, read a book in my outdoor area. It is enclosed by a lovely iron gate, and although aesthetically pleasing; my curious cats can easily squeeze under, through and around the gate leaving them exposed to the dangers of the great outdoors. Wanting to ‘screen’ out the area and make a big CATIO, I was confronted with city regulations and restrictions that would not permit me to totally enclose the courtyard. I realized an outdoor enclosure was going to be a must have for us. Something that would offer a pleasant, comfortable area for them to safely bask in the sun and enjoy their surroundings; all without the threat of running away, getting hit by a car etc. And this is where it all starts………….the Kritter Kondo Catio began its progression…
Living in a Condo, small spaces is always a consideration so I wanted their enclosure to be something that is big enough for them to relax and move around, but not too big for my available living space. When not in use, I wanted the enclosure to be something I can easily store, that won’t take up a great deal of closet space. In addition, I wanted something that is easy to set up and tear down without a lot of building or pieces to manage. If I ever leave it out in the rain, I wanted it to be okay and not ruin. Lastly, I wanted my Catio to be aesthetically pleasing and resemble a children’s toy more than a wired cage.
With the help of an engineering firm, I have designed an outdoor catio that I believe meets all of these requirements. The Kritter Kondo is a one-piece structure that easily folds down when not in use. (I slide mine right under my bed when the season is over) It comes with a carrying case that has a handle and a shoulder strap for easy mobility. If the Kritter Kondo is accidentally left out in the rain, no problem…it is water resistant.
Although the Kritter Kondo Catio was designed for the cat owner in mind; it can be a perfect playpen for small dogs too! Many dog owners have already made comments that it would be ideal for using at the park, when traveling, and tailgating.
Having the ability to take Madi and Abi outside with me has been so much fun. They absolutely love basking in the sun and have so many things to watch in their outdoor habitat. Since they enjoy themselves in the Kritter Kondo, they have become quite the talk of the neighborhood. My urban aristocrats get lots of attention from people walking by. Of course Madi and Abi love all the ooing and ahhing and tend to turn on the charm for spectators by rolling around on their backs and looking real cute. I eventually had to take the doorbell battery out of my doorbell due to the amount of inquiries coming to us.
All this positive feedback and interest from the community made me realize many people have the same need. The first Kondo (Kritter Kondo Original) launched in September 2009 and now in July 2010 the second Kondo (Kritter Kondo Deluxe) will be available.
And I am not stopping to design and build innovative Catios………. but I can’t tell you everything just yet <:)
We welcome your feedback and hope you and your pets enjoy being part of the Kritter Kommunity family!
Sincerely,
Lisa, Madi and Abi
