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

    Posted by Tabitha Reese on 21st Nov 2021

    AWESOME insulated house, great size (can fit 2 cats even with insulation), great options (straw, cushion, heating pad)! I would give 5 Stars if there weren't an air hole on the very top where rain/snow can bring moisture inside. However, I still recommend 100% for anyone caring for an outdoor cat. If I didn't have a porch roof to put the Kitty Tube under I would cover that top air hole with a piece of Gorilla tape (I know that would not be recommended by the founder of the KT but I would do it to stop water from getting in. Other than, its great and seems built to last forever! I bought 1 for myself then immediately bought 2 for my neighbor!

    I love everything about them. Easy to assemble. Sturdy material inside & out. Seemed to be a perfect solution for shelter for my outdoor kitties. Only problem is so far my outdoor kitties wont use them. They poke their heads in but shy away.....ugh!

    At first the feral cats would not go in. After nosing around it, and the weather getting cooler...they have made themselves at home.

    Kitty Tube with Oat Straw Single Insulation

    Posted by Tonia on 1st Nov 2021

    The feral kittens ( 3 at about 7 months old) took to it right away. It keeps them warm and dry. It appears they are getting used to the flap but have been willing to give it a try.

    Excellent shelter

    Posted by Renee MacDonald on 27th Oct 2021

    This was very easy to put together, thanks to the good video. One of my indoor cats went in it as I was putting it together, so it seems to be very attractive to cats. My feral cat has been using it as a shelter outside. Then another cat showed up, so I bought another one. I'm grateful for this quality product.

    Love the Kitty Tube!! The minute I put it out the cats were in it, not scared if it at all and it does hold a few of them. Impressed!

    Well made shelter

    Posted by Sam P. on 18th Oct 2021

    This shelter is extremely well made and thought out. It was a little bit tricky to get all of the pieces to fit, but once they were in, I had no doubts that they would stay in place. Now the real trick is to get our outside kitty to move in!

    The Kitty Tube

    Posted by Denise on 16th Oct 2021

    Just purchased our 3rd Kitty Tube. They are in an auto repair shop setting in Chicago. Can't say enough about the great durability and shelter they provide to our community cats.

    Kitty Tube

    Posted by Donna Horvath on 15th Oct 2021

    Of all of the shelters out there; there is none designed and executed with the thoughtfulness of the kitty tube. It really protects from the cold, wind, rain and snow.
