Plexi glass
Make a paper cut out EXACTY the size you need to replace the screen part of your door, minus the space the kitty walk takes up. Silicone the piece in the three sides, and then have the kitty walk slip underneath (leave room for the lip of the walk if there is one)

Take it to the nearest glass place that works with plexi glass.

We had 2 windows cut out this year, to put in the top halves of the windows we put our air conditioners in. It worked great, and was cheaper that I thought. 2 custom pieces cut to size and delivered was under $30, so your piece should run somewhere around $40ish I would think.

We were able to simple exacto knife the silicone at the end of the season, and take the plexi window out, and put the glass one back in for winter. Next spring we will exchange it when we put out air conditioner back in. We rent, and our landlord was very pleased with what we did, and was very happy we did not block off the window with a piece of plywood, like most people around us do. We also live in a very windy area, and the siliconed plexi did just fine.
