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.

    A New Home

    Posted by Karen on 14th Sep 2012

    I have been taking care of three feral cats which I have grown to love. One of them who is the agressor took over The Kitty Tube just two days after I received. He will not allow the other two cats in his little home. He hangs out in there all the time. Now, of course, I have to purchase another one for the other two cats. I hope they love The Kitty Tube as much as he does. I like it because it is made of recycled plastic. I originally was going to buy a wooden house for them but knew fleas would live in the cracks of the wood. It is just the right size and the opening is small which most cats prefer.

    Great kitty house

    Posted by Unknown on 12th Sep 2012

    This kitty tube is great and very well built and I am so happy that is made in USA. We have three cats and I was not sure if they would all fit in there, but they did and seem to be very happy.

    Good Looking, sleek and good price

    Posted by Catherine in Louisville KY on 11th Sep 2012

    I was impressed the minute I opened the huge box. It was sturdy and well built. It also looks great inside and out. Love that it is a USA product and the cost seems very fair for the quality of the piece. Friends with cats sent me a plan to use a cooler and materials to build an outdoor warm space for an outside cat that has adopted me but by the time I got the materials and took the time to construct I would have still had a makeshift ugly cooler for Mr. Kitty that I don't think would have fit into my landscape as well as this sleek Kitty Tube. Mr. Kitty who is a big boy fits easily through the opening and he goes in each day to check it out so I am sure as the weather gets bad around here he will find it a wonderful refuge.

    Love it!!

    Posted by Unknown on 11th Sep 2012

    I was leaving for vacation and was feeling bad to leave the stray cat that I've been feeding. I was worried about the rain. I have ordered the Kitty tube for him. We have 4 cats in the house. Once the kitty tube arrived, all the cats, one by one, hopped into the tube. They really liked it. The stray cat is still adapting to the tube. But I saw him sleeping inside the tube on several occasions, especially when it was raining. The Kitty tube protects our stray cat from wind, cold and rain. I am soooo happy that I've ordered the kitty tube. It is great!!!!!

    Becoming a local hangout

    Posted by Warren on 19th Aug 2012

    The Kitty Tube was a little slow in gaining acceptance, probably because the weather has been beautiful for about a week, although various kitties would go in and look around. A couple of days ago, we started getting some rain, and the feral cats (mother and daughter) are loving the Kitty Tube now. The tube is well made and insulated. Three cats can easily snuggle up, maybe more.

    Love this bed and so does my kitty

    Posted by kim on 9th Aug 2012

    It took my kitty a couple of days to trust that the bed was not a scary thing but now she loves it. It is very sturdy and well made.

    Two Kittens Are Cozy

    Posted by Melissa on 19th Jul 2012

    I searched the internet for the best outdoor kitten house for my new kittens. I am trying to let them get used to being in the house and sometimes outdoors. When they are caught outside, I wanted to make sure they were safe, warm and dry. Our KittyTube has not made it outside yet, but our kittens are enjoying it in our living room as they get used to it. Since we only have 2 , they have plenty of room, even though probably 5 kittens could fit inside. We are very happy! Thank you!

    So far, so good

    Posted by Unknown on 30th May 2012

    My cats took to the Kitty Tube right away. I was a bit worried at first as I have a 20 lb cat and when I saw the size of the opening, I thought she would NEVER fit through. But she did! I don't like the fact that the "insulation" or foam is not covered on the inside and they can scratch on it. However, I do like the fact you can open the top easily and it is lightweight. I think it is a bit on the pricey side for what you get. We will see how it stands up to the test of time and if it truly keeps the rain out! One could easily make their own out of a large plastic bin with a lid. But, the cats seem to love it so far.
