Cat Fences

Cat fences provide the perfect solution for pet parents who want to give their feline companions outdoor freedom while ensuring their safety and security. At PetSafe®, we understand that cats are natural explorers who benefit from fresh air and outdoor stimulation, but traditional fencing methods often fall short when it comes to containing agile, climbing cats.

Beyond in-ground systems, we offer complementary solutions like the Pawz Away® Mini Pet Barrier for targeted deterrence in specific areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most effective cat fence?

The most effective cat fence combines patented design features with proper installation to ensure reliable containment. Electronic in-ground systems like PetSafe's In-Ground Cat Fence™ offer superior effectiveness because they create an invisible boundary that cats cannot climb over or dig under. These systems use lightweight, comfortable collars specifically designed for feline anatomy and behavior. With proper training and setup, PetSafe® cat fences provide the most reliable containment solution available, giving you confidence in your cat's safety.

How tall does a fence have to be to keep a cat in?

Traditional physical fences typically need to be six feet or taller to prevent cats from climbing or jumping over, but even tall fences may not be completely effective for determined climbers. Cats are exceptional athletes capable of scaling impressive heights, making traditional fencing challenging for reliable containment. Many pet parents find that even eight-foot fences don't guarantee containment for agile cats. However, PetSafe®'s electronic cat fence systems eliminate height concerns entirely by creating an invisible boundary that works regardless of your cat's jumping or climbing abilities.

Are cat fences effective?

Cat fences are highly effective when properly designed and installed, with electronic systems showing the highest success rates for feline containment. The key to effectiveness lies in using systems specifically engineered for cat behavior, proper boundary training, and consistent reinforcement. Physical barriers can be challenging due to cats' climbing abilities, but electronic fences address these limitations directly. PetSafe® cat fence systems have proven effective for thousands of cat owners, combining advanced technology with feline-specific design features to ensure reliable, safe containment.
