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.

    Wonderful cat shelter

    Posted by Vivian Hash on 29th Oct 2012

    I bought this for a stray cat we've been feeding for some time now and it is just wonderful. Very well made and I am hoping this will provide him with a nice, warm place to sleep this winter. I have been looking for shelters for months and the kitty tube was the best one I have found.

    Posted by Laura on 28th Oct 2012

    The house is well constructed and nicely insulated.The interior pillow was very soft.It took about a week before the cat was ready to use this house.I tried the cat nip suggestion,but the cat didn't seem to know what it was.The cat finally figured it out by herself.

    What a Great Product For Kitty- made in USA

    Posted by Jodie- South Carolina on 26th Oct 2012

    Product arrived when promised, assembled in minutes. Very compact/robust design. Cat bed & insulation seem to be the perfect combination of comfort & weather protection. Appreciate the speed of shipment, our outdoor/stray cat used the first night we put it out and has stayed there every night since. Temps dropped faster in recent weeks than I anticipated; this product is the answer to our concerns over the welfare of this feral cat.

    Very nice cat house and well constructed. I had high expectations for this cat house and was not disappointed. In fact, if I could fit, I'd sleep in it!

    Perfect for Stray/Feral Cats

    Posted by Oliver's Mom on 24th Oct 2012

    Great size for multiple cats, however small enough to be discreet in landscape. Worth the $ Insulated well, nice pillow & ample straw supply with initial order. Seems to be a great home for cats to keep them out of the elements, nice warm & dry. Very easy to assemble. We love that it's made in USA

    Wonderful Product ~ exactly as described !

    Posted by SC Garden Girl on 24th Oct 2012

    Product was purchased for a feral cat which remains untouchable (although will gladly eat our food !) The product arrived just as described & pictured. Assembled in minutes, nice snug fit of top & bottom molded pieces. Insulation is thick & seems durable. Pet bed is nice & fluffy.after only 3 hours in place, we noticed the cat was inside & remained there when we checked this morning. We've been concerned how to keep this cat warm this winter as he has previously been a "gypsy" on our street, but seems to be settling at our house. The size of the unit allows it to easily be tucked behind shrubbery for extra privacy for the animal & it's out of sight to our neigbors. This company has EXCELLENT customer service, I ordered at a time when there was a large influx of orders & mine could not be processed for a week due to a shortage of raw materials. I received a personal call & email from the VP of KittyTube to apologize for the delay and explain the circumstances. You will rarely find a company who would take the time to make a call for a single order ~ this was impressive! Unit made in USA- We're sold !

    Nice design, well constructed

    Posted by Toni Rice on 24th Oct 2012

    I was impressed with how easy it was to move the kitty tube around and the easy access to bedding from the top. I have a neutered Tom that still sprays, so I leave him outside (where he like to be) during the day. At night he sleeps in a box in an enclosed back porch. To get him to use the kitty tube during the day took several relocations of the tube and his bed. I put his bed on the open front porch during the day for a week. Then I put his bed pad in the tube and put the tube where his box was usually located on the front porch. It took several attempts to get him to stay in the tube. Evenually he settle down and now stays in it when he isn't roaming around.

    Love It!

    Posted by Catherine on 24th Oct 2012

    Dear Jim I purchased the Kitty Tube for a very shy feral cat I have been feeding for a year now. I live in Rhode Island were the winters can be very harsh. Last winter I attempted to redesign the igloo type shelter to keep her out of the elements however due to the opening being to large and in-spite of my effort to insulate it, the cat never use it. As we are now starting to experience cool nights my worries for this cat were growing. I thought I surf the web on the off chance I would fine a better method then the one I already tried last year. As luck would have it I found your product, thought I give it a try. To my amazement it was at my door on the third day. Wow very fast delivery to say the least! I took it out of the box put it together in just a few minutes and the rest is history. The ever so shy kitty loves her new digs and for the first time has allowed me to touch and pat her briefly when I go out to feed her. I guess that's her way of thanking me for the warmth and comfort of her new house. I love everything about it and I thank you for helping put my mind at ease knowing she now has a warm and safe place to rest. You are an angel and again, thank you.

    Great product!

    Posted by Unknown on 23rd Oct 2012

    The Kitty Tube is made with great care and excellent construction! It took a while to get the cat to go in it, but since they are on our screened porch (she is feral and kept on the porch to separate her from a big bully of another outside cat) I put her 2x/day wet food in there till she got used to going in. She could come through the pet door in &out of the house that others use, but isn’t comfortable doing that yet. Meanwhile, she is happily snuggling inside her Kitty Tube with heated bed whenever it gets cold out there. This deserves a full 5 stars! Thanks from a happy kitty and a very satisfied owner!
