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.

    exactly what I wanted

    Posted by Nan on 8th Nov 2012

    The Kitty Tube house came quickly and just in time for the stray cat that comes by to have protection from the hurricane that hit the east coast last week. She is in it every day now. I hope it is warm enough for the winter.

    Kitty Tube better than its box

    Posted by Pam G. & Punkin on 6th Nov 2012

    We all know that cats LOVE boxes so it was no surprise to me when my outside cat got into the box the Kitty Tube arrived in. A few minutes later after I had put his new house into place, he was in it doing an inspection. About an hour later after his dinner and early evening adventures, he was in it looking out at me. No doubt that he LOVES it and so do I.

    Great for my outside girls

    Posted by Brooke R. on 6th Nov 2012

    My two rescued rather-be-outside stray girls LOVE their new kitty tube. They took about 30 minutes to check it out and get used to it, then made themselves right at home. It's exactly what I was looking for.

    Terrific for my Outdoor Cats

    Posted by Unknown on 6th Nov 2012

    I bought the Kitty Tube for my outdoor cats, tired of having my back porch looking like a garbage dump; we had a few cardboard boxes wrapped in plastic and duct tape for the 2 outdoor cats to sleep in during cold or rainy weather, but they kept getting soggy and ruining the blankets, and generally looking like trash. The kitty tube tucks right between the grill and a porch chair and looks like a side table, and they love it. They both fit and they were in it immediately. Great product, I like the handle vents as well for the hot TX summers!

    Finally, a good product at a reasonable price!

    Posted by The crazy cat lady on 5th Nov 2012

    I really love just about everything about the Kitty Tube. I have built cat shelters myself so I know the specifics that I look for in a shelter. The Kitty Tube has a wonderful look and is nicely insulated. The only two things I see that I think would make it even better is . . . a smaller opening (made with a 6 inch circular blade) and to put a hole (that can be covered and uncovered) in the back of the shelter so you can put a heated pad inside and run the cord out of it. Otherwise, it's a fantastic shelter. I most likely will buy another one in the future.

    Good for stray and feral cats

    Posted by Unknown on 5th Nov 2012

    I just put out the kitty tube for the two strays. I was pleased with how quick it shipped even though hurricane Sandy came during my shipping time. It is very well constructed and roomy but cozy. very easy to assemble. Pillow is super plush and soft It does not smell of chemicals. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it came right after hurricane Sandy so I have not had any experience with rain or snow (as to whether or not it stays dry). By the look of it though I think it will stay pretty dry. Kitties took to it right away and it made me happy to see them curled up with sleepy smiles. I live in a town house community so its nice that it is black and it's not glaringly obivous that it's a house.

    Kitty Tube is the Best!

    Posted by Cindy S. on 29th Oct 2012

    I just want to say "THANK YOU SO MUCH" for creating this wonderful outdoor insulated cat house. I also, about 3 weeks ago had this friendly male cat come into my yard that was not being feed or taken care of. I could not take him into my home because I already have 2 cats. I have been looking online for the best outdoor cat house since I knew he was here to stay. When this Kitty Tube arrived it was very easy to assemble. I placed this Kitty Tube outside and the cat went into it immediately! I was so happy to see that he was peacefully sleeping in the Kitty Tube that evening! Since hurricane Sandy was getting ready to hit, and I do not have a enclosed porch on my deck, I placed an outdoor chair & outdoor table in front of the entrance to the Kitty Tube & covered it with a water proof tarp. I also placed some bricks around it to keep the tarp from blowing off and as hurricane Sandy is about to make landfall I can report that the cat is safe & dry from the elements of the weather! Thank you so much!

    My cats LOVE it!

    Posted by Unknown on 29th Oct 2012

    My cats love the kitty tube! I wasn't sure that they needed something like this but now that I see how much time they spend in it I realize they wanted a safe, warm place to sleep in. My 2 cats fit in it comfortably with room to stretch out. They went right into it (with a little push) as soon as I put it out and have been using it ever since. It is exactly as described and made in the USA too! I highly recommend the Kitty Tube!!!
