Product Description

introducing the new and improved Kitty Tube Feral Cat Option insulated outdoor cat house. The Feral Option Kitty Tube comes with enough bulk straw to allow up to four fresh layers of bedding. Straw is the preferred bedding for feral cats as it resists moisture and retains body heat as the cats can burrow into the straw.  We are providing this option as many customers have requested The Kitty Tube to be offered with straw.     

The revolutionary new Kitty Tube provides a safe, economical, and maintenance free shelter for your cat. Designed for either indoor or outdoor use, the new and improved Kitty Tube is fully insulated to be cool in the summer and ultra warm in the winter. Improvements include a positive fitting lid, better wet weather protection, higher quality exterior, increased R-value insulation, and a fully insulated floor under the included straw. The shell is made entirely from 100% post consumer recycled milk and detergent bottles making the Kitty Tube a very green product AND The Kitty Tube is made entirely in the USA.

The Kitty Tube has a removable top lid, is seamless in construction, and is environmentally friendly due to the 100% post consumer recycled content. The one piece construction provides for a smooth interior which is easily cleaned with a simple spray of the garden hose. The dome lid keeps your pet dry in even the heaviest of rains, and with the included machine washable custom pet pillow, the Kitty Tube will provide your cat a safe, secure, and dry home. The geometric shape resists wind, and is naturally preferred by cats. The high quality, fully insulated Kitty Tube is strongly recommended for all outdoor cats and also creates a safe and secure haven if your cat is to give birth.

The unique door design provides easy passage for your cat, but will not allow a predator like dogs or coyotes to get to your cat.  The Kitty Tube was intentionally designed with only one door.  There are several reasons for this design:

  • With one door, the exceptionally insulated Kitty Tube will retain the majority of the heat your cat produces inside, compared to other designs with two doors that allow excessive air movement through the shelter.
  • One door will keep your cat safe and secure as predators cannot fit their head inside the unique door design of The Kitty Tube.
  • We feel it is a misconception to provide a second door for an escape in case of a predator attack.  If your cat leaves their safe haven of The Kitty Tube, it is now vulnerable to be caught by predators.

The Kitty Tube is extremely durable and is guaranteed for life to never chip, crack or fade. Patents pending.

Product Features

  • The Kitty Tube provides an economical, safe, and secure home for up to 3 cats. The Kitty Tube will also protect your cat from predators.
  • The Kitty Tube includes enough bulk straw to allow up to four fresh layers of bedding, and is fully insulated on floor, walls, and roof with high quality, high R value insulation. The Kitty Tube will stay cool in the summer, and is ultra warm in the winter.
  • The built in lifting handles can be adjusted to supply full flow through ventilation for the summer, and can be closed for the winter.
  • The Kitty Tube shell is guaranteed for life to never chip, crack, or fade.
  • The dimensions are 24" round x 24" tall with lid on.
  • The Kitty Tube is made from 100% post consumer content, consisting of recycled milk and detergent bottles. The Kitty Tube is an extremely green product.
  • The Kitty Tube is made entirely in the USA – you are supporting many American businesses and their families with your purchase of The Kitty Tube.

  1. Kitties Love the Kitty Tube

    Posted by Nancy "Feral" on 29th Mar 2013

    My third Kitty Tube just arrived. I ordered one last fall. Not sure the (2) feral kittens (that were almost blind) would take to it. Another feral female decided to have her 5 kittens under my shed in early winter and quickly took over the Kitty Tube. It wasn't long before it was overcrowded. I know... I know... I'm working with a local group to get them trapped, neutered and released (TNR) so keeping fingers crossed that I won't need any more Kitty Tubes. But they are very popular with my colony.

    I love the design and I'm thrilled they're made in the U.S.A.!

  2. BNest Cat Shelter Out There

    Posted by Unknown on 25th Mar 2013

    This shelter is made from recycled materials, is fully insulated and comes with straw inside - and it is MADE IN THE USA! My feral cat went right in - I just wish it was like maybe oval so that his momma could get in there with him. I ordered a second one to put next to the first with holes facing each other so both ferals will have their own warm nest and will know that the other cat is close by. This shelter is black and blends with the landscape. I've been feeding these cats for 9 years (located behind a doctor's ofice). I TNR'd them and they are always waiting for me in the afternoon when I go to feed. They are so grateful for the tender loving care. I wish all ferals culd have a Kitty Tube.

  3. Adopted by Feral Cats.....

    Posted by Feral Cat Parents on 1st Mar 2013

    In April 2012 we found four feral kittens living under our shed in the backyard. We never saw the momma cat so we started giving them kitten food and water. It has been a blessing for us seeing them and watching them grow up every day. We hope and pray nothing ever happens to them as we both have become attached to them. We did what we thought was the correct thing and did the TNR (trap, neuter, return) program hoping that we can control for the most part the population of the feral and stray cats around here. It's a continuous process around here, doing the TNR, but it's something I'm willing and able to do. I've purchased other feral cat houses in the past, but The Kitty Tube is our favorite by far. Very well made, insulated and a breeze to set up. The BEST thing about it was, the cats went in it right away and started using it. Every evening when I go out to give them food and water I always see at least one cat come out of it and they always meow when they see me. Kinda seems like to me they're thanking me for everything we have provided for them. Makes me smile to say the least!

    Just received the kitty tube for some feral cats, don't know if they will use it but it is such a well constructed shelter I can't imagine them not wanting to bed down in such a cozy place. Thank you for thinking of the feral cat out there

  5. Just What a Feral Cat Would Like

    Posted by Unknown on 18th Feb 2013

    Very pleased with this home for feral kitties. Thank you for designing something for feral cats, not for people looking for a dollhouse for outside.

  6. Kitty Tube is Kitty Condo

    Posted by Cat Lover and Animal Friend on 9th Feb 2013

    At my job we have two ferrel cats that hang around. Members of the staff supply them with food, water, and ocassional petting.
    No one thought they would go in the Kitty Tube. Well, from day 1 they can't seem to get enough of it. We are all so happy that they have a warm place to sleep at night and when it's very cold outside.
    We are also happy that this cat home is made out of recycled material.
    Our only hope is that some kind soul will adopt them.
    Thank you for the lovely Kitty 'Condo'Tube.

  7. Great Product!

    Posted by Unknown on 6th Feb 2013

    The Kitty Tube is the best outdoor cat home on the market. We were adopted by a stray cat and wanted something to protect her from the elements. The tube arrived ahead of schedule and assembly was as easy as putting the top on. We put it outside and within a minute our cat was inside and wouldn't come out for hours. We highly recommend The Kitty Tube- Feral Cat Option With Straw for anyone that is looking for a safe, insulated home for their outside cat. Thank you for a great USA made product!

  8. Very impressed!

    Posted by Susie on 5th Feb 2013

    This cat house has a lot going for it. It's made of very thick plastic like a really nice outdoor trash can which makes it very sturdy, weather proof, and it will look good for a long time because sun, use, water, etc. won't affect it
    It's a great size: big enough for a cat, but it doesn't look huge in the yard.
    It's also the most economical house I found. My next choice was about $220 and would have looked old and used in a year because it was painted wood.
    The straw is a great idea. They can burrow in it for warmth but I don't have to worry about bedding getting wet and having to wash it.
    I'm very pleased.

  9. Outdoor kitties love the Kitty Tube!

    Posted by Kathy L. on 4th Feb 2013

    This is our second Kitty Tube. Our family of neighborhood outdoor cats loved the first one so much we bought another to make sure no one is left out in the cold. We purchased a Mylar emergency blanket and lined the inside with it to reflect body heat back and keep cats even warmer. How nice to pull up in the driveway and see a kitty head peeking out the door and know they are warm and dry! This product is well worth the price - well made, attractive and sturdy.

  10. Wonderful!

    Posted by Michelle on 3rd Feb 2013

    I ordered the Feral Option Tube with straw and also purchased the Outdoor Heating Pad and set it up this past Friday. After considering the direction the prevailing winds usually blow in my area, I strategically set it up so that the entrance faces away from the wind. The entrance also faces in behind some shrubery that is directly in front of my house (This will help to keep the shelter warmer and dry and the snow doesn't accumulate much there).
    It couldn't have been easier to set up - it took me all of 5 minutes.

    My feral kitty wasted no time in moving in. We were hit with a lake effect snow storm last night - about a foot of snow on the ground. This morning I saw her foot prints in the snow in front of the tube.

    I can sleep better now knowing that this poor little kitty has some warmth and protection from the severe weather.
    Thank you so much (my kitty thanks you too!).
