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.

    Happy Kitty

    Posted by Unknown on 23rd Oct 2012

    I was not certain this item would be a good fit for our kitty. Many times when you order on the internet, the item is not at all like the item that was advertised. The Kitty Tube is WONDERFUL! Our kitty likes to be outside, when it rains, or it is windy we would worry. She loves the kitty tube. Yesterday was the big test, it stormed outside and she was warm and dry in her kitty tube. This product is more than a place to stay dry, it is a nice home. Thank you!

    A great insulated house for outdoor cats

    Posted by Sherri on 22nd Oct 2012

    After lots of research, we bought the Kitty Tube for two abandoned kitties that adopted us. Winter temperatures can drop quite low here (Utah) and I'm allergic to cats, so bringing them indoors in the winter isn't an option. We bought this, hoping to provide some shelter in the winter. The first day it arrived, one of the cats went right in, took a nap, and really seems to feel safe inside it. The other cat doesn't mind going in when coaxed, but seems to prefer sleeping outside in the open. I think he'll go in when the weather gets a little colder. The Kitty Tube is roomy on the inside for the cats, but looks surprisingly small on the outside and isn't that noticeable in the landscape. It seems to be made really well, too. It's the best option for an outdoor cat I've found.

    Fast Delivery - Excellent Quality

    Posted by Susan on 22nd Oct 2012

    Just received our Kitty Tube for our (mainly) outdoor kitty. We live in Seattle with a damp, chilly winter/spring and already our cat has taken right to her new cozy home! The product is light and easy to move. The shelter itself is sturdy and well-insulated and the custom pet pillow is nicely made and seems quite durable. I appreciate the color of the Kitty Tube as it blends in nicely with other outdoor furniture and decor. I am very happy with the price and value and appreciate the speedy delivery! Thank you so much!

    Posted by MARNY on 22nd Oct 2012

    I PURCHASED 3 OF THESE FOR NEIGHBORS WHO FEED OUTDOOR FERAL CATS. THE CATS STARTED USING THE KITTY TUBES ON THE FIRST DAY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THE CATNIP THAT WAS PLACED INSIDE THEM. WE ARE DELIGHTED TO HAVE SUCH A NICE INSULATED HOME FOR THEM.

    Best Kitty House!

    Posted by Unknown on 22nd Oct 2012

    My outdoor cats went right into it and have been sleeping in it every night! I could not be more pleased! Will be ordering a second one soon. Suggestions....maybe a little door covering, and what about a 2 story condo? Great product!

    An awesome cat sanctuary!!!

    Posted by Chris on 17th Oct 2012

    My wife and I received the kitty tube and were very pleased with its construction and insulating abilities. The two cats we own were happy right from the start. A very good investment, to say the least!

    Now We Can All Rest Easy

    Posted by Unknown on 15th Oct 2012

    This product is amazing! I purchased two kitty tubes for my two stray cat friends. I have come to love "Red" and "Grey", but have two indoor cats so the newcomers sleep on my covered porch. Every night, I worried because they were nervous during thunderstorms or fighting with other cats and even sharing the porch with racoons. As soon as the kitty tubes arrived, they each went in their own little haven and have been sleeping inside every night. Winter is coming and I can stop worrying! Thank you for the very nice and well thought out product.

    Great Kitty House

    Posted by Lorin D. on 15th Oct 2012

    We had a stray kitty drop by our house, and she stayed. I can't have a cat in the house, but I was not able to envision this cat freezing to death in our winter snow. I found the kitty tube after a web search, and ordered it, hoping it would be as good as it looked. Happily, it was. This product is VERY well made, and the delivery time was quite good. I would recommend this product. I just feel great irritation toward those who would turn out an animal with no thought for the poor animals well being.

    Our Outdoor Cats Love This!

    Posted by Beth on 15th Oct 2012

    This was larger than I expected and has plenty of room for our two outdoor cats. Didn't know if they would get in it but they did the very first night. They looked so cozy in it. So glad I bought the kitty tube. I know my cats will be warm this fall and winter.

    Our formerly stray cat is not used to being in the house and likes to be outside. We get such cold winters I hated the thought of her having to go all the way out to the barn to get into one of those igloo houses(we live in the country). The footprint of this house is small enough to leave out on the porch in the fenced in area of our home. (There's no door or other escape route on this home so predators could be an issue depending on your environment and placement.) Our cat took to it right away and even being a little on the heavy side, she fit in the opening without an issue. I highly recommend this house if you have a cat that goes outside. I also love the idea of supporting a newer small business from the USA!
