Welcome to The Cat Solarium. Our founder is James Cramer, is a graduate of The McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tn. and the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Al. James was on the Swim Team at both schools and holds many records in sprint Free-Style & Butterfly. After college, James founded 3 very successful companies. He bought a townhome that was on the 2nd and 3rd floors and adopted a Russian Blue cat. He was working about 80 hours a week and felt bad that his cat was home alone and bored while he was working. So, he built the first Cat Solarium and installed it into the 3rd story bedroom window. Fast forward twenty or so years, the original Cat Solarium is still in a window at his house. April 2015, he decided to start manufacturing them and launched catsolarium.com. He will gladly answer any questions you may have, and will personally walk you through the installation. James’s off time is spent fishing, sailing, and kayaking on the Tennessee River on Wilson Lake. He too likes being “outdoors”.
