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.

    Outdoor Shelter for Cats

    Posted by Unknown on 18th Sep 2014

    This product is a smart purchase. Will weather well and the extra insulation is all that is needed for a garage shelter in Wisconsin. I have 2 cats and they love it!

    Excellent Shelter for Outdoor Cats!

    Posted by Bonnie Page on 26th Aug 2014

    Last December we moved into the rented townhouse of a woman who left one of her 2 kitties behind. Our New England winters are bitingly cold and harsh, but we fed him every day and he made it through to Spring! We searched for a shelter for him so that he would have cover throughout the coming winter, and found the Kitty Tube store online. We decided to try it, and purchased the extra insulation as well. We are thrilled with the appearance, and know that the kitty will be safe and protected from the bitter cold with Kitty Tube! Thank you for developing this wonderful product!

    Great product

    Posted by Elizabeth on 25th Aug 2014

    I ordered two of the Kitty Tubes and I love them! I am using them in my outdoor enclosures for my cats. They like to stay out there even if the weather is inclement, and these will allow them to be out there and still be protected and comfortable.

    Kitty sub-division !

    Posted by Unknown on 22nd Aug 2014

    The Kitty Tube is only fantastic ! We have three kitties that the mother left at our back door for "safe keeping". With Ohio winters it has been a challenge to find shelter for them at a reasonable price. Kitty Tube is the answer. We ordered one to see how this new home might be accepted. Well, two cats took to it the third did not have enough room - my husband insisted that we purchase two more. It seems we are now on our way to a small sub-division ! I appreciate that this company works with Alley Cat Allies. bristolcats21

    LOVE our Kitty Tube - best shelter EVER!

    Posted by Patti on 19th Aug 2014

    Well made and quite popular with our formerly skittish cats who are still reluctant to come indoors, even in the worst weather. My husband hates to spend $$ so I didn't tell him right away that I'd ordered a kitty tube to our hodge podge of cat shelters, especially to replace a drafty dog igloo. I eventually confessed and got an eye roll. When it arrived, I assembled it myself (easy) and waited to show it to him. When he got home, he took one look and said, "Order another one!" Really helped during a brutal winter. I worried about black color during summer heat but as suggested, I bought a cheap white baby sheet at Walmart and covered the top with it. The double insulation was a good idea for both temperature extremes. Superb customer service/communication. Could not be happier with this purchase!

    Purrfect Product

    Posted by Mary Clifton-Frink on 6th Aug 2014

    We rescued a kitty our former neighbors abandoned when they moved and we discovered she was pregnant. We bought the kitty tube with the hopes she would nest in it to birth her babies. She didn't, picked a shed instead. We rescued her and her babies from that shed and the kitty tube is their new home now...indoors. It is a PERFECT nursery. Cozy, comforting and safe. It is a great product. Thank you for making an abandoned momma a forever home.

    So far so good!

    Posted by Laura Davidson on 13th May 2014

    I purchased this cat for outdoor kittens we just acquired, and based on other reviews of thought it looked like a good solution for cats that are always outdoors. So far so good. We received it yesterday, it took 4 days to arrive and I purchased the insulation option as well which makes the house a little smaller inside (it fits 3 cats without the extra insulation, and 2 cats with the extra insulation) but with only 2 cats in our family I wanted to give them extra protection in our hot St. Louis summers and cold winters. When I ordered it the woman told me the heating pad would be available this summer so I plan to purchase that as well. There is a small hole where the cord can be pulled through if you do get the heater, and there is a plug that comes with the house in case you don't use the heating pad option. The house is well designed, I like that I can take it apart and hose it off and it seems very well made. Our kittens went right into it when I took it out of the box and slept in it last night so there was no problem introducing them to their new home.

    Kitty tube a hit!

    Posted by Lynn on 12th May 2014

    We got our kitty tube last week for a kitty that adopted us over the winter. I kept putting off getting an official home for her till I knew that she was staying. One look at the kitty tube and she walked right in and is in there a lot of the day and at night. Wonderful product! So glad I finally did it!

    This was the best idea, bought this for the out door cats that come here for a dry warm place to get out of the rain and cold. They love it had no problem on them using it.
