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.

    I am so pleased with the Kitty Tube

    Posted by Bev on 25th Mar 2013

    The first day I received the Kitty Tube my one outside girl kitty claimed it as her new home.(I wish she would share with her little sister - I guess I will be soon be purchasing another one for her). Previously ever since she was a tiny kitten her home and safe place was a double patio chair with cushions and blankets to keep her warm on the back porch. She doesn't even go there any more. New new house (the kitty tube) kept her nice, warm and safe in the winter storm we had this past weekend. Even though the snow was blowing and drifting she and her bedding kept warm and dry I did put the opening facing the house. I am just so pleased with the kitty tube and so very happy that my little girl loves it. Thank you

    kit loves it

    Posted by Lou on 20th Mar 2013

    The stray cat that has made my back yard his home and follows me everywhere I go was delighted with his new Kitty Tube home and occupied it right away. The Kitty Tube is a great and novel idea for an outdoor house for a cat. Thanks for your great idea.

    Well built and looks pretty good.

    Posted by Unknown on 18th Mar 2013

    I was concerned at first because my outside cat wouldn't have anything to do with it, but once I took the heating pad out of it and just left the cushion, he went right in. Definitely will shield him from the elements and it is easy to open up and clean.

    Our cat appreciates it!

    Posted by Unknown on 13th Mar 2013

    Our 1 yr old cat went from living in our basement to outdoors and unfortunately it's been getting below freezing this week. Bought the kitty tube and he was in it from the first night he was outside. Already been through the cold temps and steady rain so definitely performs as advertised.

    A Home for Abandoned and Unwanted Cats

    Posted by S. R. on 12th Mar 2013

    The hypocrisy of a municipality's treatment of dogs and cats is unnerving. Abused dogs are sent to a city shelter for rehabilitation, fostering, and eventual adoption with all veterinarian fees paid for by the shelter. A cat on the other hand; even a friendly, healthy, but lost or abandoned cat, will be picked up by the city's animal warden and be euthanized. I know this to be true in my city. My city refuses to recognize TNR programs, as well. Thank you for providing an excellent quality product that has given a cat a home.

    GREAT DESIGN CONCEPT

    Posted by Susan C. on 12th Mar 2013

    If anyone told me a year ago I would be buying outdoor living structures for stray cats I'd have said no way but I have these 4 sweet, mischievous kitties that have worked there way into my heart and I couldn't help myself - I had to find them a suitable place to call home! It didn't take long before 1 of them stepped inside. I wish though they would share but they don't - they take turns sleeping in it so that's why I just bought another one!

    Kitty Tube - the very best

    Posted by Diane Ferguson on 25th Feb 2013

    We ordered a Kitty Tube with custom pillow for our one outdoor cat and she almost immediately started sleeping in it. Then her daughter started hanging around at night regularly and they both slept in the Kitty Tube. Eventually they didn't like sleeping together and we bought the second one. Now, every morning they leave their Kitty Tube bed to get fed. We are so darned pleased with ourselves for taking such good care of "the girls."

    The Kitty Tube is Great!

    Posted by Unknown on 18th Feb 2013

    I live in the Northeast, and the Kitty Tube has been great for my feral cat. At first I was worried he'd never use it because he likes sleeping outside, but it didn't take more than a few days for him to warm up to it. I throw in another blanket along with the pillow to keep the cat warm on cold nights. Even when the temperatures go down low, my kitty is warm and snug inside.

    was homeless not anymore

    Posted by Unknown on 15th Feb 2013

    love the kitty tube. The only thing that could make it better is a kitty door. I taped a piece of heavy plastic over the hole, no problem with the kitty going in and out.

    Cats LOVE them!!!

    Posted by Kristin L on 15th Feb 2013

    I have now bought 3 Kitty Tubes and I am extremely pleased with them because my outdoor cats LOVE them. There is always a cat inside one of them, sometimes 2 cats inside together. It is such a good feeling to know that they are snuggly and warm inside their little houses. The Kitty Tube is so well made and simple, it's perfect. I will definitely buy from again and will reccommend these to every cat lover I know!
