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.

 

The Kitty Tube name and design is TM protected. Patents pending.

    Best thing I've ever bought/done for my cat!

    Posted by Kristin L on 31st Jan 2013

    LOVE IT!!! I searched online for outdoor cat houses and read many reviews of several different ones. According to my research, this seemed to be the best. So I ordered one online and it was delivered just 3 days later. It is BIGGER than I expected! Looks big enough for 2, maybe 3 cats inside. I put it on my back porch for Sophie (one of my outside cats), and she stayed in it from the very first night! The next morning when I went to feed her, she wouldn't even come out of the little house to eat! She must've been so snuggly and warm! I was SO happy to see her warm and happy. At first I was hesitant about the price, but now that I got it I couldn't be happier. Also love the fact that it's made from recycled materials and in the USA. Worth every penny. I will definitely be buying more for my other outside cats, since after about 5 days of owning the Kitty Tube, it doesn't look like Sophie is going to share with anyone else! THANK YOU for such a wonderful product!

    Seriously, they will go right in!

    Posted by Susan on 24th Jan 2013

    I saw everyone else's descriptions of how their outside cats/ferals used the Kitty Tube right away but was really skeptical since one of the ferals I take care of is the wariest cat I've ever known - I just knew he would not want to go into an enclosed space like that, much less actually stay in it, but I hoped it would be worth purchasing for the other feral cat who is somewhat tamer. So the semi-tame cat went into the Kitty Tube within about 5 minutes of my putting it outside, and my wild guy was in there with her 10 minutes later. They are always in it now if the weather requires it and lots of times when it isn't that bad. I am so relieved that they have somewhere warm and dry and secure to go now and be protected from the cold and wet. I admit I had to budget for a couple of months to put aside money, but when you figure in the entire winter, a dollar a day for these two to be so well protected is very reasonable. Thanks so much for a fantastic product!!! I think you guys were cats in a previous life. :)

    TOP OF THE LINE CAT SHELTER

    Posted by Rhonda on 21st Jan 2013

    This is the 3rd shelter I have ordered this year. One is on my front porch with a tarp over to protect it from the rain and the second is on the back covered porch. This one went to my niece's new house which included 2 outside cats. A little catnip on the pillow and an heating pad .... they love it!(I plan on order the kitty tube heating pad soon.) Texas winters aren't awful but it does get to the low 20's. They stay in it even on sunny warm days. This has to be the best outdoor cat shelter ever invented! Shipping is super fast and everything is well constructed. Thanks Kitty Tube!

    THEY ALL LOVE IT!

    Posted by Sue in McHenry IL on 14th Jan 2013

    Lightning-fast shipping! Ordered Friday and it was here Monday morning. Very ingenious design. It took 20 minutes before my three ferals were inside. They curl up together and look so cute in there piled on top of each other. They definitely seem right at home. I live in northern IL and it's single digits now, but their fur is so warm when they come out to eat. If you love cats like I do, this is a great investment. I will be ordering the electric heating pad very soon.

    Great product for outdoor kitties

    Posted by Leslie on 11th Jan 2013

    One of my cats insists on spending part of his winter days, regardless of how cold, outside. The Kitty Tube, with its incredible insulation and pad, has given him a warm place to stay so he can enjoy the outdoors in comfort. I also have an 'extreme outdoor' heating pad that is placed atop the cushion. The combination is a winner! Just ordered my second Kitty Tube for the garage where he also likes to stay. (Note from Kitty Tube to Leslie - we now have our own Kitty Tube low-voltage Heating Pad for your Kitty Tube! It is round, flexible and soft, rather than the pad you currently have. Try it! Your cats will love it!)

    LOVE!

    Posted by RJR in MInnesota on 10th Jan 2013

    I (and my kitties) LOVE The Kitty Tube! I live in MN, where the winters are cold. I also live in the woods where there are mice galore waiting in line to get into the house. Cats are essential and valuable to me in dealing with this problem. I bought TKT to protect our cats from the harsh conditions as they do their job. They LOVE it! I also bought the heater for under the comfortable pad, and they stay toasty warm even during blizzards. TKT unit is attractive, simple, and constructed in a sturdy way. I can predict that it will last a long time. Regarding dealing with the company, my order arrived in 2 days, even though ordered over a holiday time! I couldn't be happier with the purchase!
