Separate WordPress themes for each category page

I think what would work best for your case is making use of the WordPress template hierarchy.

You can actually just create a custom template file in your theme folder named category-{slug}.php to get a custom look for that category.

Example:

If your category was ‘Dogs’ and the slug you set for it was ‘dog’, the template file loaded for that category would be named category-dog.php, otherwise it falls back to category.php.
