You can get creative with DIY solutions, creating stands within your cage or ways to distribute the weight of the plant as mentioned above. You might want to repot it or divide it up into a couple smaller pots to make the most out of the pothos and create more foliage and give it more room to grow over time.

One thing to be careful of is putting weight on the screen and warping the cage. Bill Strand's product, dragon ledges, are a patented solution to distribute weight to the frame of the cage while giving you a place to affix branches or potted plants. You can buy them without having to buy his cages for $50.

If you scroll through this assembly instructions you'll see how he recommends creating a support structure out of branches first, then add in potted plants through a double pot method. Where the first pot has holes that you use to zip tie to the dragon ledges and the second pot you put inside the first one has the plant in it.

Even if you don't buy the dragon ledges, you might get some inspiration from seeing what's possible!

I absolutely agree with @bbyoda . Dragon ledges make hanging plants and attaching branches & vines so much easier.
If they aren’t in your budget, you could create a scaffold type frame, attaching the main supports to the frame.
