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.

    Finally the Perfect Cat House!

    Posted by Kelly Owen on 15th Aug 2013

    Upon receipt of The Kitty Tube I was very impressed! Year after year I purchase an outdoor cat shelter, always looking for a better one. This is the best I've ever seen! I purchased this for a semi-feral neighborhood stray. I'll sleep better at night knowing he has a nice place to sleep. Thank you! :)

    Best kitty house

    Posted by Mary on 8th Aug 2013

    Purchased this kitty house for an outside cat that has decided to be our cat! Because of allergies, Miss Tippy can not come in the house. But with the Kitty Tube we will not have to worry about her in the rainy or cold weather anymore. Love this house!

    Worth every penny!

    Posted by Stephanie on 6th Aug 2013

    A stray cat has taken to my backyard and won't seem to leave. We already have two indoor cats and they don't get along, so bringing him in isn't an option. He hid under our patio steps every time it rained and with winter coming, it was breaking my heart to leave him unprotected out there. The Kitty Tube arrived in a few short days and was easy to assemble. We put it on the back patio, and our furry little friend immediately took to it. It's been about a week now and rained every day. I feel a great sense of relief knowing that he has a warm, comfortable shelter to take refuge in. I may have to get another one for the other neighborhood strays! Thank you!

    This is the best for feral cats!

    Posted by Connie on 22nd Jul 2013

    It is a very sturdy product. Easy to put together. I put it behind the bushes. Instantly the cats saw I put something behind the bush. 1 cat went inside. The next day both cats were inside. This is a great waterproof, safe product. Thank you

    The housing of all housing for my feral cat!

    Posted by Sherri on 17th Jul 2013

    we have had as many as four outdoor feral cats that we have TNR. To accommodate them we built them kitty condos. Expensive and not very attractive but did the job. Slowly over the years we are now down to just one feral cat. We knew we needed to re-do the kitty condo and I was looking at different outdoor benches to modify for the job. Then a local cat shelter had three of the Kitty Tube delivered to them for their use. Went to the Kitty Tube website and ordered one for our outdoor guy. It will work well for our solitary guy. The Kitty Tube is well insulated and will be nice and toasty for him in the winter. I love the fact it is made HERE in the USA out of recycled materials. A major win win for me AND my outdoor guy.

    Love It!

    Posted by Karen Colbourn on 22nd Jun 2013

    Ordered the Kitty Tube on Wednesday & it arrived Saturday here in CA--that was fast! Also really like the new door awning--even though the Kitty Tube is placed behind some bushes & under the eaves of our home--I know this awning w/further ensure that no rain gets inside come the winter. Like many others, there is a stray/homeless cat in our neighborhood that I put food & water out for--and as much as I'd like to take all the homeless cats in--it's just not realistic or possible (we do have 5 indoor cats of our own)--so the Kitty Tube allows us to provide a safe & warm place for a homeless cat.

    if only i knew sooner

    Posted by Unknown on 10th Apr 2013

    Great product. I couldn't believe it only took a few minutes before my one feral cat got cozy inside. I always felt terrible for them after I had them fixed and didn't have any kind of shelter from the elements. Now I worry less :)

    Excellent Kitty House!

    Posted by Kimberly Hughes on 3rd Apr 2013

    A cat appeared at our house 4 weeks ago, and decided to call our home his own! Of course for the first couple of weeks he lived in a computer paper box outside on our covered porch. But we decided he needed better accommodations. I spend hours online, hunting for an outside cat house. After looking at quite a few, and reading reviews on all...I decided to order The Kitty Tube with the custom pillow. I could not be more pleased with the quality of workmanship, the size, color, just everything about it. And our new kitty LOVES it! Thank you so much for making such a great product, and I love the fact that it is made in the USA.
