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!

Nice home for Iowa kitties

Posted by Unknown on 27th Dec 2012

Our Kitty Tube was actually purchased for our two inside cats--but they love to go outside and do have a homemade cat house on our deck. We opened the Kitty Tube for Christmas and each cat immediately sniffed the new home and walked right in. Missy, out mama kitty, has spent the night on her new cushy pillow. We're wondering if some kind of protection over the door might be useful to keep rain/snow out. All in all, we think it's great!

Happy in Texas

Posted by Mike, Tx. on 27th Dec 2012

I have two outside cats and even though I live in a warm climate it can get really cold at night (20-30 deg). They seem to like the tube but they don't share it. I think the opening maybe to small for the two cats to feel comfortable. It works great otherwise.

Happy Cat

Posted by JS on 27th Dec 2012

Our outdoor cat moved from his favorite spot to this house without any coaching, we had tried a couple others so I was happy he liked it. Any time I go outside now he is cuddled up in there. When I reach in to pet him I am amazed at how warm/hot it is despite it being close to freezing outside, insulation is not thick but certainly effective. It is big enough for several cats so I was worried about the temp, but not a problem at all. It came with a cute (well made) cushion. I ordered at the last minute but the company shipped it that same day so it arrived in time for Christmas, cat says thank you!

Happy feral

Posted by Marliese on 23rd Dec 2012

We trapped,neutered,and released a number of feral cats, 4 of which have remained around and we feed them daily in home made feeding stations. Since they are feral, we have no idea where they find shelter, so I thought I would try the kitty tube. It came in Sept. I filled it with only straw and waited. although it took quite some time, finally within the last few weeks, one of them is sleeping in it at night. I doubt that he will share it with any of the remaining three because they are not that chummy. We are just happy that OB (orange boy)has a warm and dry place to sleep, especially now that it is getting colder in northeastern PA.

shy feral loves it

Posted by Sanye Francis on 23rd Dec 2012

I worried about a TNR (trapped, neutured, returned) tortoise shell beauty who lives around my apartment complex. She is very shy but took to the kitty tube in the corner of my patio after a few days of checking it out. She sits in there and blinks at me now as if to say this is the greatest Christmas present ever. If you knew this cat you'd know how amazing it is for her to be within 10 feet of a human. Thanks for helping me make sure she can stay out of the elements this winter!

A Joy

Posted by Kendra, Myrtle Beach, SC on 21st Dec 2012

I was so excited when the Kitty Tube arrived, as it was starting to get cold at night and my backyard cat (an abandoned pet), Huggins, seems to have been spending his nights on the roof (I can hear him at 3 am up there, and he comes down if I go into the kitchen near the door). I heard from friends nearby that a coyote had been able to get up onto the roof of their house in pursuit of a cat, so I was worried. This may be a solution. In any case, after a day or two Huggins discovered it on his own and is now enjoying napping in it for many hours during the day. Once it rained and the pillow got slightly wet on the edge that is at the opening, so I had to put it in the dryer. But I am able to position the tube so that the entrance is sheltered and the pillow stays dry. However, it means that the tube will have to remain on the deck because if it was exposed in the open it would keep getting wet. Anyway I don't think he would use it if it were down on the ground; he prefers to be up higher, on the deck. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

fantastic product

Our backyard cats immediately started to sleep in the tube. It portects them nicely from the bad weather and they appear to really like their new shelter. I would highly recommend this product.

Perfect For Outdoor Cats

Posted by Martin M on 19th Dec 2012

I have a home made cat house and got a couple new cats. Instead of building another one, I decided to order The Kitty Tube. I received it the other day, and the cats started using it the same day. It is very well constructed and insulated and is perfect for any outdoor cat. I can't speak for it being waterproof because it sits on a covered deck. Even though it is very well insulated and the pet pillow is soft and plush, I would like to try and find a round heating pad for it. The only thing I might change would be to change the shape from round to square. Other than that, I give it 5 out 5 stars. (Kitty Tube Response......We are so excited, because we will be getting our custom made round heating pad to offer to our customers within a couple of days! This exceptional heating pad made specifically for The Kitty Tube is unique in that is low voltage on the inside of The Kitty Tube and high voltage on the outside. This eliminates the risk of electrocution and fire inside The Kitty Tube making it the safest heating pad for your cats! Watch our web-site within a couple of days for its initial offering! Also, by the way, cats LOVE round structures and the roundness of The Kitty Tube helps deflect wind and the outside elements! Thank you so much for your 5 Star Review, we just wanted to add these comments because we will have what you want in a couple of days! Warmly, Kitty Tube LLC)

Great Outdoor Cat House

Posted by Kristen Farmer on 18th Dec 2012

We recently adopted a homeless Momma Cat and her two kittens. They really like the house and seem to stay pretty warm. It's pretty cold here so I've also added a special outdoor heating pad just to make sure they stay cozy. All three seem to fit well inside.
