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.

    IF CAT COULD SPEAK HE'D SAY WOW!!!

    Posted by Portia on 13th Nov 2014

    So speaking on behalf of my adopted feral cat, Jasper, he is very happy with his new abode!!! It's very cleverly constructed and clearly a quality product that a lot of thought has gone into. The warming pad is great - a very safe design. It gives me peace knowing my outdoor kitty is protected, warm and dry. That said, I'm considering ordering the extra insulation for even more warmth...and apparently coolness in the summer. One suggestion if you're having trouble getting a cat to use the kitty tube - remove the awning until they get used to the tube and then put it on. Seemed to work best that way for us. Thank you so much for a great product!!!

    The feral cat house that has everything

    Posted by 616 on 11th Nov 2014

    Seems everything has been carefully thought out in the design of this terrific cat home, which I bought for a feral cat I've been feeding, as I am very worried about the upcoming frigid cold winter. Simple to assemble, and the feral cat immediately went inside and rested for awhile on the first day, though she didn't on days 2 and 3. I expect she will be back when it is colder, since she stops by to eat every day. I ordered the double insulation since my condominium is old and doesn't have outside electrical outlets for the heated bed.

    Love the Kitty Tube

    Posted by Betty on 10th Nov 2014

    I really love the Kitty Tube. I have been searching for some time now trying to find something safe and warm for Ms. Kitty who lives outside. Ms. Kitty has taken well to the Kitty Tube and seems to be happy in it. I hope she will be warm and safe this winter.

    Happy Surprise!

    Posted by L foster on 7th Nov 2014

    Oscar, the cat, was a stray a few months ago. I ordered the Kitty Tube in hopes he would use it in cold or rainy weather. The unusually cold nights came about the same time the Tube was delivered. Two nights ago I called Oscar, expecting him to come from a neighbors yard several doors down. I was pleasantly surprised to find he had taken over the Kitty Tube and had come out to greet me, warm as toast! This product is everything it was described to be. I highly recommend it.

    Saved my outside cats life

    Posted by Unknown on 7th Nov 2014

    2 wild dogs killed some of my neighbors cats that were in a cage in their back yard . When I came home I found my kitty tube on the front lawn the dogs must have dragged it from the top step of my home . It was still intact and my kitty is safe . Best investment I ever made she sleeps in it every night and during bad weather . Thank you kitty tube

    Kitty Wow!

    Posted by Unknown on 16th Oct 2014

    Such a well made, simply to assemble, cozy kitty nest. I appreciate that it was made in the USA with recycled materials. One kitty ran right inside...the others will need some catnip coaching. Too bad they don't include a teaspoon of catnip in the shipping!

    Causing a Cat Fight

    Posted by Sue Ann Anderson on 14th Oct 2014

    I have had the double insulated Kitty Tube for less than a week and am already thinking of ordering a second. I have one outside "pet" and one "feral" who comes and goes. I bought The Kitty Tube for the pet but both have homemade shelters available. The feral has taken up residence in The Kitty Tube and has been here more consistently for the past few days. It poured rained with strong wind last night, she emerged dry and toasty warm this morning. It is located under a porch facing away from the wind, the outside of the tube was wet and the ground around, the inside stayed dry. The only downside I have seen is that I use the microwavable heat disc(which is awesome) in the winter and it will not fit in the doorway. I will have to take the lid and insulation layers out twice a day to change and reheat the discs which won't be much fun for me or the kitties when it is zero degrees here in Indiana. Am looking for a smaller disc but so far no luck, I know the door is small for good reason.

    I only wish you made larger ones. Kitties took to these right away. The are easy to set up and keep clean. Very light weight.

    Cozy, yet Roomy

    Posted by Elizabeth on 22nd Sep 2014

    I ordered this for a kitty that we have taken in. She came from down the street, was fixed and then the people who had her decided eh, we don't want her, and left her when they moved. She is the sweetest girl (much friendlier then my housecat). We had been trying to get her used to the indoors, and were prepared to introduce her to our house cat. However, she is not interested being inside. We bought this, set it up, and she has been in it every day/night since. We have the perfect set up for it, as we have a privacy fence on one side, and she is tucked in a little cove as you come out the door, onto the deck. One side is the wood privacy fence, and the other two sides are the brick exterior of the house, so a nice cozy cove. By winter, I will be ordering 1-2 more for two other strays that walk amongst our subdivision.
