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.

    Wish it had a door

    Posted by Karen on 12th Oct 2012

    Arrived very quickly in perfect condition for my two feral kitties. It rained for days when I first got it but stayed dry inside. My kitties still wanted to come inside where it was warm and dry though! I wish it had some kind of flexible plastic door on it. I'm also concerned with snow coming in this winter.

    Seems perfect

    Posted by Gail on 11th Oct 2012

    I have only had this kitty house for a couple days so it's too eary to tell, but, to my happy surprise, I at least didn't have to find a way to coax my outdoor cats to go inside - they went in quite voluntarily as soon as I put it on the deck. The only thing I worry about is that the opening doesn't accomodate a weather flap and the hole is big enough for racoons to get inside if they wanted. I turned it so the opening faces my house and I'm hoping that will cut down the wind and keep the opening less visible to predators.

    I just received my kitty tube.........it was much bigger than I thought it would be, it will hold more than one cat, if their friends. I'll let you know if my outdoor kitty falls in love with it. The winter's can be cold here. Thanks Kitty tube company for a well thought out home for outdoor kitty's.

    Not your Nevada style ''Cat House''

    Posted by Unknown on 4th Oct 2012

    I am deeply satisfied with the new cat house. Having traveled all the way around the block before, I can say this is not my first. It's everything you would expect. A dimly lit window less room that gives me all the privacy I need. This place is cozy, warm, and soft. Mine even came with a leopard skin pillow. I could lay here all day and all night. I'll be frequenting this establishment on a routine basis. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by. You won't regret it. Thanks Kitty Tube, Biscuit PS- Ask for 'Miss Kitty'

    Our cat loves it.

    Posted by Stu on 4th Oct 2012

    We have a stray cat - who appeared at our house last summer, skinny and beat up. We nursed it back to health and now it needed winter shelter. We have a cat indoors already and coming inside is not a option. We tried different shelters and the cat was nervous about them. But the kitty tube was just right, she went right in and has made herself at home. She stays warm and dry. thanks.

    So thankful for the Kitty Tube!

    Posted by Happy Customer on 1st Oct 2012

    I have two young cats (about 3 years old) who I had to have become outdoor cats two months ago. They weren't using the litter boxes and after exhausting all our options with our vet over the last 2 years we decided to try them as outdoor cats instead of euthanasia. When we let them out it was summer time, but I had no idea what I was going to do in the winter with them. It gets very cold here in Michigan starting at the end of September and it can snow all the way up through April. I searched and searched for appropriate housing for them and I am so, so thankful I cam across the Kitty Tube on Amazon. (I bought directly from thekittytube.com because it was cheaper, though.) I like that it's plenty big enough for both of them, functional, and durable. A few days after it came I knew I was going to be ordering a second. Now we'll have one in our garage and one outside on the covered porch. I am so thankful that I do not have to worry about my kitties now! I also purchased an outdoor heating pad meant for animals from Amazon and I turn that on at night for them, too. It's been the perfect setup for my kitties. Thank you Kitty Tube!

    Purrfect Home for Outdoor Cats

    Posted by Unknown on 1st Oct 2012

    We purchased the Kitty Tube for a couple of stray cats who have taken up residency at our home. They remain outdoors, but we were getting concerned with winter approaching that they were without a shelter. I searched the Internet looking for a safe and warm home for our new furry friends, but was unable to find the features needed for outdoor cats, until I found the Kitty Tube. I immediately placed an order, because I knew this would be the perfect home. Our cats love their new home and your cat is sure to love the Kitty Tube too!

    Awesome Cat House with the BEST Customer Service!

    Posted by Laura J. (Columbus, Ohio) on 27th Sep 2012

    Our exclusively indoor cats had to move outdoors recently and we wanted to make sure they were comfortable and dry.  After reading numerous great reviews on Amazon, we decided to give The Kitty Tube a try.  I was worried our cats would not fit inside (both are well over twenty pounds) so I emailed the company, prepared to order two right off the bat.  I got an immediate response indicating that it was likely that both cats would fit inside, and that I might as well try just ordering one at first to test it as it would not save me any money to order two at once.  This was very kind as I am sure they would have liked to have sold me two right away.  The shipping is pricey but totally worth it because our Kitty Tube arrived immediately (we placed our order over the weekend so it was processed on Monday, and it arrived on Wednesday!)  It is also a huge bonus that no assembly is required so I consider it money well spent.  And lo and behold, both of my fat cats were able to fit through the door and inside together!  We are so pleased with the product that we went ahead and ordered a second one.  It has a sporty design, the cats seemed to know instinctively that it was a cozy shelter and got in right away, and it is warm and dry inside.  Just what we needed.  If you have any doubts I recommend emailing the company for a prompt and courteous response to any of your questions.  I also recommend buying direct rather than from Amazon as you will save yourself a few bucks.

    Perfect solution!

    Posted by Pat on 19th Sep 2012

    Got this house for some outdoor strays I started feeding (mama and babies) and it's perfect! We live in Texas so the winters don't get too bad but we do have some cold weather so I wanted someplace they could curl up and stay out of the weather. Very well made - love the insulation and the pillow bed is great. Put it out and within 24 hours a couple of the kittens took it over. I'm sure as the weather gets colder they will use it more. Looked at all sorts of other houses and this one fit the bill. Thank you!!
