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.

    My cat loves it!

    Posted by Unknown on 24th Nov 2012

    My cat loved the kitty tube from the moment I got it out of the box. Its good quality and the most well insulated product I found. It kept my cat dry and warm through hurricane Sandy!

    Cat loves it, so we love it.

    Posted by David on 21st Nov 2012

    Our cat spent essentially zero time in her old house (a small dog house) and slept who knows where (we think under the shed). She took to the Kitty Tube the first night and hardly leaves it.

    The perfect outdoor cat habitat

    Posted by Unknown on 21st Nov 2012

    Very pleased with the 'Kitty Tube'. It gets quite cold here in the Fall and Winter months, and i have a kitty that spends most all day outdoors. He loves his new outdoor home that i have placed on our raised porch. I ordered the one with the pad, but in addition to your product, i ordered an 'Extreme Weather' heating pad' that i placed atop your pad to keep him warm. The combination of your 'Kitty Tube' and the heating pad is perfect for my 14-year-old kitty. I do bring him in at night where he sleeps indoors.

    warm home for cat

    Posted by Midnight on 20th Nov 2012

    I have kitty tube in back covered porch. First day, my cat didn't go in. Second day I saw him sitting inside the kitty tube. When he came out he was warm. Seems like he likes it. Good design, insulation, no need to assemble. Quick delivery. It keeps cat warm.

    My cats love this!

    Posted by Becky R on 20th Nov 2012

    I have four cats ranging in size from 3 to 10 pounds. I bought the Kitty Tube because my cats have to sleep outdoors, and Nebraska winters can be very harsh! I put it out as soon as it arrived ("assembly" was so simple!), and the cats immediately began sniffing around it, but they had no interest in going inside. But when I went back to check on them a couple hours later, all four came piling out! They absolutely love the Kitty Tube, and I do, too!

    Great purchase

    We have several strays that have taken up residence on our front porch. They all love it. Plan to order another.

    Best exterior cat house!

    Posted by Unknown on 18th Nov 2012

    Within minutes of placing this on our patio, my two outside kitties were in it and cuddling up! Quick/easy assembly. Looks like it'll be a snap to clean. Keeps my boys warm and dry. Love it!

    Great for large tabby, too!

    Posted by Nancy G. on 17th Nov 2012

    We were concerned that our large tabby cat, Keegan, would not fit in the opening. However, he fits just fine! The kitty tube is also larger overall than it appears in the pictures. We are very pleased with the quality and construction of this product! We are afraid our part-time outside cat will now become a full-time outside cat, especially in the warmer months in Chicago! Now we won't have to worry if he ends up being outside all night in the rain/snow and winter temperatures. I am not sure though, how warm he will be when it is really frigid outside, but it certainly is better than nothing! BTW - We put in on our deck under the house eave because we are not certain the rain/snow would not get in the opening and wet the bedding. We did not coax him with treats or forcefully put him in it. After sniffing and taking his own time to feel comfortable, he found his way inside within two days! Cats are naturally curious creatures, so give them time to adjust on their own. Forcing them may make them frightened of it.

    THIS IS THE BEST !!!!!!

    Posted by Deb on 16th Nov 2012

    I have bought many different beds for a cat who lives at our barn. None were warm enough and I was ready to loose hope. I stumbled across the kitty tube and decided to try it. I got it with the pillow and also put a blanket in it. The cat went right in and LOVED IT! He's warm and cozy and I have to call him to come out to eat. It's the BEST cat house ever!!! Thank you,Thank you,Thank you!!!!
