What We Do
We complete your Catio Dream Team:You, perhaps your Partner or Spouse, and your Cat(s).
Together, we’ll all have a paw in it throughout the process.
Our role?
Listen to your wants and needs - while offering considerations and
maybe some options un-thought of - and then transforming your vision into reality.

Jeramy - Lead Craftsman
Jeramy is stoked to be part of the Catio Craftsman crew!
He’s got a unique background with degrees in landscape architecture and technical theatre, which basically means he’s a master at making spaces look incredible and function splendidly.
Before building custom cat hangouts, Jeramy spent years designing and building tiny houses, where he perfected the art of smart, space-saving design and top-notch craftsmanship. He brings those skills to the table with the catios that he helps create.
When he’s not busy building feline paradises, you’ll find him out in the wild hiking, biking, camping, or hitting the slopes.
Jared - Apprentice Craftsman
Jared joined Catio Craftsman in March 2026 after spending the beginning of his career in journalism at local newspapers and public radio stations around the Pacific Northwest. Realizing he needed to step away from the keyboard, work with his hands, and see the tangible impact of his efforts, Jared traded the newsroom for the woodshod and has been a seamless addition to Team Craftsman.
A natural problem solver with a keen eye for detail, Jared finds motivation in puzzling together creative solutions and executing with precision. Jared’s efforts touch each piece of your kitties’ dream outdoor spaces, from design input on interior play structures down to structural framing and final finishes.
Jared’s expert insight on feline recreation comes from meeting the high expectations of his two cats, Percy and Pepe. Outside the shop, Jared is a yoga teacher, avid outdoorsman, wannabe lumberjack, and master home cook. Raised by two U.S. Army colonels in the Puget Sound area, he earned a Bachelor of Arts from Gonzaga University and a Master of Communication from the University of Washington.
