Product description:

This Kitty Tube, with STRAW, Outdoor insulated cat house includes:

  • Main Door Awning with Flap: The main door awning improves rain/snow protection and includes a gasket to eliminate any water seepage around the edges. The clear removable flap door has also been designed to repel wind.  This clear door flap can be installed and removed easily without tools. It will help keep heat inside the Kitty Tube during cold weather seasons.  This new awning/door flap combination will fit all previous model Kitty Tubes that have the Kitty Tube LOGO on the sides. NOTE: This awning is also available for all older model Kitty Tubes. See separate listing. 
  • Top Lid Vent Cap V2: This cap is needed to eliminate moisture laden air that can build up under the top lid. This moisture laden air can cause condensation in certain temperature swings. This 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. This new 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. We recommend using a standard 1½ inch hole saw to make this hole.
  • Scratch Guard™ Insulation: The Kitty Tube-Generation 4 Scratch Guard™ and vapor proof  insulation is now 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.
  • OPTIONAL Scratch Guard™ Double InsulationThe Kitty Tube double insulation option will double the insulation value of the Kitty Tube. Installation is easy and it will fit all previous model Kitty Tubes that have a “Kitty Tube” logo on the side. This accessory is perfect for 1-2 cats, as it creates a smaller space to keep your cats warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
  • Ventilation Hand Hole Awnings: The Kitty Tube-Generation 4 includes awnings that protect the handle/ventilator holes in the lid from rain and snow. These awnings also provide a comfortable handle when removing the lid or moving the Kitty Tube.
  • Drainage System: The bottom surface of the Kitty Tube-Generation 4 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.

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!

    Exactly what I had hoped for!

    Posted by Jctandco on 25th Mar 2025

    I’ve long looked for something I could put out for the many feral cats in my area, to give them a safe place to go in foul weather and the Kitty Tube is the ideal solution . Nothing about the “scratch and dent” was apparent, as everything I received looked perfect! I put this one out in the yard and hope to add more soon!

    Kitty Tube

    Posted by Michele on 18th Mar 2025

    This is our second Kitty Tube purchase. We purchased our first one about 5 years ago. It was a new purchase, and it looks as good today as it did 5 years ago, we got the double insulation at the time, and it still holds up to this day, even though the cats that sometimes use it. We'll pee on the inside. I can clean it up using a nontoxin. Cleaner That's pet friendly period this review is for the second one that we got, which was a scratch in dent and came to us quicker than you could possibly imagine with a wonderful note on the inside. It was more of an emergency purchase. Because we have what may be an ill stray catcwe have nicknamed Mister Fluffy Pants that we've been trying to catch for a really long time. He decided to move into our backyard until we could catch him, which we have not yet, but he took over our resident feral's Kitty Tube, Kitty. She was sleeping outside in 16° weather. Which wasn't healthy for her. She wanted her own space, and I understood that because it's her yard. So I bought the new one, hoping it would get there in time. They expedited it and had it to us super quick. I got it together that very night. And it resides right next to our house. .He sleeps in it every single night. And though we have worked to catch him with a humane cage, he still is elusive, but at least he has all the food he needs and a warm place to sleep next to our house out of the elements. I am extremely grateful to the people at Kitty Tube for their quick and caring response, it is completely worth the investment to buy one of these tubes. They last forever and they do a really good job at making your cat feel safe and warm. I highly recommend the double insulation if you live in places like Wisconsin or Minnesota, because it gets very cold. There is a spot on the Kitty Tube so that you could put one of their electric pads in there. We do not have an electrical outlet outside available to us. So we can use it if need be in the future. I know I can order one if we can get them underneath a shelter with electric outlet. I can honestly say that if we had access to electricity outside and the electric pad on the inside of the shelter, a cat would probably be in heaven, the awning on the outside of the Kitty tube keeps absolutely everything out. We do not use the plastic door cover because our cats prefer not to. I've tried for years to get our feral to use it. She just doesn't like it, so we leave it open. We insulate the inside of the kitty tube with straw and thermal heat self heating thermal blankets that seems to work really, really well, and they're easy to clean when they pee on them . Thank you, Kitty Tube we love you! The French Family.

    Love these Kitty Tubes

    Posted by Brenda on 12th Dec 2022

    These kitty tubes are very well made. They do not retain water on top it runs off. They accommodate a couple of carts. The straw inside works wonderfully. The Kitty Tube accommodates a couple of cats. The only problem we do have is the plastic flap doors do freeze when the weather gets very cold. Maybe if it were a little bit heavier of a plastic that would not happen. Not sure. Other than that definitely a great item. We have four so far.

    Purchased for my sisters stray kitties. One was just about to give birth so the shelter arrived at the perfect time.

    New Kitty tube is Fantastic

    Posted by PJ on 4th Apr 2022

    I chose this less expensive option because money is right and kitties don't care. Truth told, I didn't see any scratches or dents, so they are clearly minor. I am so impressed with the product and how easy it is to set up. All my indoor cats are very curious. I'm hoping a pregnant kitten in my backyard will adopt it as home. Thanks for your great product.

    Scratch-n-dent

    Posted by Sally Hanna on 11th Mar 2022

    The KittyTube had some issues beyond the typical sctatch-n-dent description. Kitty Tube responded immediately and offered a suitable resolution. I've purchased 3 KittyTubes and will buy more if the need arises. The kitties love them:)

    Posted by Rhonda Whitaker on 19th Feb 2021

    This appears to be an excellent product! It's pretty large and very sturdy. There is an ample amount of straw for the bed too. The company shipped my Kitty Tube the VERY NEXT DAY! That was amazing!

    Kitty tube

    Posted by Gail on 15th Feb 2021

    This is my third shelter. The cats just seem to show up to use these. I started with one cat we had neutered. He came with a kitten the next summer. Now I have a new kitten that showed up this fall making a new total of 4 cats. The weather is snowy and cold. They are all protected. I highly recommend this product I hope 3 shelters will be enough
