Product Overview

Welcome to The New Generation of The Kitty Tube™

  

Introducing GENERATION 4! 

 

Here at The Kitty Tube™ we are always thinking about the safety and well-being of your kitty. 

With that in mind, we've taken Gen 3's vapor proof barrier and lid vent cap, and added our exclusive flow-through foam layer. 

Gen 3's features + Gen 4's innovations = The driest kitty on the block!

 

 The new features of Generation 4 include: 

l 15% thicker bottom insulation than the previous model

l  Insulation is elevated off the bottom of The Kitty Tube to keep it higher off the cold ground

l  Specialized flow-through foam layer is now placed under the bottom insulation of The Kitty Tube

l  The flow through bottom layer prevents all moisture caused by condensation from ever reaching bedding

l  The new and improved drainage system eliminates moisture out of the bottom of the shelter

 

The Kitty Tube is Guaranteed to keep the weather out and is simply the highest quality insulated outdoor cat house on the market today!

 The Kitty Tube with Straw comes with:

  • Door Awning & Clear Flap Door: The door awning improves rain/snow protection and includes a gasket to eliminate any water weepage around the edges. The clear flap door is designed to repel wind and helps to keep heat inside the Kitty Tube during cold weather seasons. The clear flap door can be installed and removed easily without tools. NOTE: The door awning set is also available for all older model Kitty Tubes with a logo. See separate listing. 

  • Vent Cap & Gasket: The vent cap was created to eliminate moisture laden air that can build up under the top lid. This moisture laden air can cause condensation in certain temperature swings. The vent cap serves the same purpose as the vents on the roof of your own home that expel excessive moisture in the winter and heat in the summer. The vent cap is very important in maintaining a dry interior for your cat. NOTE: This cap is also sold separately to install on all older model Kitty Tubes and will greatly improve its performance. A 1½ inch hole is needed on the top dead center of the lid to install. If retrofitting an older Kitty Tube, a standard 1 ½” hole saw is needed to make a hole for the vent cap.
  • Main Insulation with Scratch Guard™: This insulation set will cover the walls, floor and ceiling of The Kitty Tube. The Kitty Tube Scratch Guard™ and vapor proof insulation is easy to remove and clean. The new Scratch Guard™ material on all interior surfaces is moisture proof, mold proof, mildew proof and bacteria proof. Deodorizing and sanitizing of the interior is now a breeze, as cat urine or spray from a male cat will not soak into the Scratch Guard™.  The Scratch Guard™ material will virtually eliminate damage from clawing and will considerably reduce condensation from forming in cold temperatures.
  • Ventilation Hand Hole Awnings: The Kitty Tube includes awnings that protect the handle/ventilation holes in the lid from rain and snow. These awnings also provide a comfortable handle when removing the lid or moving the Kitty Tube.

The Feral Option Kitty Tube comes with straw. Straw is the preferred bedding for feral cats as it resists moisture and retains body heat as the cats can burrow into the straw. This option is recommended by most Cat Rescue Groups.

The Kitty Tube provides a safe, economical and maintenance free shelter for your cat. Designed for outdoor use, The Kitty Tube is fully insulated to be ultra warm in the winter. The shell is partially made from post-consumer recycled milk and detergent bottles making the Kitty Tube a very green product AND The Kitty Tube is MADE IN THE USA!

 The Kitty Tube has a removable top lid, is seamless in construction and is environmentally friendly due to the 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. 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.

 

About our 1 door design: 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. Most small animals such as possums or raccoons are generally not a life threatening danger to your cat.
  • 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. Predators such as dogs and coyotes know how to catch a fleeing cat.
  • Most kittens born inside of a Kitty Tube are NOT moved as usual by their mother, as they feel safe inside!

Product Features and specs.

  • The Kitty Tube provides an economical, safe, and secure home for up to 3 cats. (Only 2 cats if you have the double insulated option.)
  • The Kitty Tube comes complete with a fully insulated shell, a removable top lid, enough straw for 2 to 3 changes, a main door awning with removable clear flap door, a vent cap for the top lid, a rubber plug for the optional heater hole and 2 hand hole awnings to protect the top ventilation holes.
  • The Kitty Tube is fully insulated on floor, walls and roof with quality, high R value insulation. All with the Scratch Guard™.
  • The hand hole openings can be adjusted to supply full flow through air ventilation for the summer and can be closed for the winter.
  • The Kitty Tube shell is very durable with a lifetime guarantee to never chip, crack or fade.
  • The dimensions are 24″ round x 24″ tall with lid on.
  • The bottom surface of The Kitty Tube is slightly elevated off the ground and incorporates a built in channel and drainage system to eliminate any subsequent moisture that might enter The Kitty Tube due to unforeseen circumstances.

    Kitty Tube Gen 4

    Posted by Kathy on 6th Apr 2026

    I love this kitty tube it has so much installation in it. It surely will keep my cat warm in the winter months This is my 3rd kitty tube. I have one of the original ones that I upgraded a while back and it's still in really great shape. I bought it back in 2012 or 2013. A few years later I bought another on I think it was the Gen2. These are super nice houses and they hold up for many years they are well worth the purchase. I have bought other cat houses but these are truly the best ones out there, they are also light weight and easy to carry. Thank you.

    Best Cat House for COLD Iowa winters

    Posted by Abigail on 21st Feb 2026

    We have tried several cat houses, from making our own out of coolers, to K&H heated houses. The kitty tubes are by far the warmest. We setup thermostats in the various types, and with the heating pad and double insulation the kitty tube stays SO much warmer than any of the other style houses. Often 20-30 degrees warmer than the others in sub zero temps. We have 2 now. The cats seem to prefer them being up on a table or platform where they have a better view of the deck & yard and seem to feel more secure that way. They took to them right away once we platformed them. Love that they are plastic and easily cleanable, we had to throw out another brand that had a cloth cover and it stunk from cat spray. All around the kitty tube is an excellent design and well worth the extra price.

    Best there is. Easy assembly.

    Posted by Butts McButts on 2nd Feb 2026

    The kitty tube is the most comprehensive cat shelter I’ve found for purchase. I’ve built a lot of cat shelters, but the kitty tube is everything you need and very easy to assemble. It’s not the cheapest cat shelter, but it’s worth the peace of mind that it provides me.

    Kittytube

    Posted by Melissa H on 24th Jan 2026

    I live in lower Michigan and we have been hit with multiple waves of abnormally low temps this winter . The double insulated kittytube(with straw) has helped the semi feral mom we have been taking care of and her three kittens get through multiple sub zero nights. VERY happy with my purchase.

    Highly recommend

    Posted by Diana on 14th Jan 2026

    This is my third KittyTube that I’ve added to my feral cat colony, so now I have three. Honestly, the KittyTube is the best outdoor cat shelter if you don’t have the option for a heated shelter. We had extremely heavy rain annd cold and it stayed completely dry inside, the cats love it, especially during New York winters. I raise mine up using cinder blocks and a 24 by 24 inch concrete slab underneath to keep it off the ground. If you have feral cats, stray cats, or any outdoor cat, I highly recommend this shelter. I also HIGHLY recommend upgrading to the double insulation, it is absolutely worth the extra money and makes a huge difference. I’ve tried many shelters over the years and this is truly the best of the best. I love supporting a small business, I’m very satisfied, and I plan to purchase more next winter!!!

    I highly recommend the Kitty Tube. It is the safest and warmest cat house I have seen. When I purchased the first one it took several months for a cat to use it. Ferral cats are very cautious and timid of anything new to their surroundings.. Be

    Great Addition to my Feral Cat Colony

    Posted by Diana on 9th Jan 2026

    I originally purchased one Kitty Tube for my feral cat colony and was so impressed by the quality and warmth that I ended up purchasing two more. It is a huge upgrade and truly one of the best outdoor shelters I have found. I made sure to get the double insulation, and it has been amazing during New York winters, even in very cold weather. It really keeps the cats warm and protected. These cats live outside year round and they deserve, at the very least, a warm and safe shelter. I now have three Kitty Tubes in my colony and plan to add several more next winter. If you care for cats that stay outdoors, this product is absolutely worth the money, especially the double insulation. I highly recommend it and would not hesitate to purchase again.
