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.

    Perfect for Feral Cats

    Posted by Aimee on 28th Nov 2012

    The temperature is starting to drop, and I was worried about the three feral kittens in my backyard. No matter what I do, they won't let me touch them, and I was afraid that they'd freeze this winter. I've tried all sorts of boxes with blankets, but they just wouldn't use the boxes. I saw the Kitty Tube on Amazon.com and thought I'd take a chance. And what a wonderful thing! Within minutes of me putting it outside, all three kittens climbed right in! I was so thrilled that now they have a place to keep warm. The Kitty Tube's construction is fantastic. When I opened the box, I saw that it had an insulated circle for a top and I thought, oh this will never last. Then I pulled the tube out of the box and realized that there's a hard plastic shell that fits over the top of the tube. Perfect! I would strongly recommend the Kitty Tube for anyone that has an outdoor cat.

    Mooney loves it!

    I bought this for an outdoor cat who likes to stay on our deck. She's very friendly, but we can't let her in the house. I put the Kitty Tube on the deck, and she moved right in.

    Cat loves it!

    Posted by Joel on 26th Nov 2012

    We had to convert one of our indoor-outdoor guys to outdoor-only after being unable to stop his constant spraying. With a Michigan winter coming, we put a Kitty Tube in a sheltered area on the back deck. We added a small-size K&H semi-circular heated pad, which fits inside the Tube perfectly, covering half the bottom, cracking the vent slit open just enough for the power cord. The cat loved it instantly, and spends most of his time inside. Whenever we check, he's toasty warm, and seems to adjust his spot on the heated / unheated portion of the pads based on cooler or warmer outside temperatures.

    Best Outdoor Home

    Posted by Unknown on 24th Nov 2012

    I would have given it 5 stars but only due to the fact that I purchased the heating pad and I have to open the top, wishing there was a door on the side to slide it in to the tube or anything to make it easier than opening the top. My cat loves his new home. Its perfect for cold weather.

    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.
