Rank #4 in Best Outdoor Cat Enclosure 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Not Walk-In
Rywell Pop-Up Catio Playpen, 145 cm, Carry Bag
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Rywell Catio is a pop-up outdoor cat enclosure listed at £157.98, fourth in this guide. Its headline measurement is 145 cm high, given as 41 × 37 × 57 inches. That puts it well above the two enclosures here that measure 107.9 cm and 108 cm — barely a metre — but 14 cm short of the 159 cm where the genuinely walk-in models begin. Worth saying plainly: the conversion on this listing holds up. 41 in is 104 cm, 37 in is 94 cm and 57 in is 145 cm, so the metric figures are the imperial ones done properly rather than rounded up for the bullet points. The levels figure matched too: the spec table says 3 and the copy describes three tiered platforms.
What the listing is less tidy about is what arrives and who it is for. The product title promises a carry bag and ground stakes, while the specification table's Included Components field lists only a removable tray. That same table gives "Big Cats" as the breed recommendation and "Large" as the dog breed size, even though this is listed as a cat enclosure marketed at multi-cat households on a 20 kg maximum capacity. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have carried out.
