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.

    Our Outdoor Cat Loves the Kitty Tube

    Posted by TW on 22nd Jan 2023

    Our outdoor cat loves the Kitty Tube. She ignored it for the first few days, but I then tried putting her into it with the top off and letting her explore and walk out through the door. That did the trick, and she's used it constantly since then. The only negative, and something that could be addressed in future designs, is that the top is slightly concave between the center vent and the edge, so small amounts of water can collect on it. The water doesn't get inside, but it will freeze on the top. If the top were just slightly convex I think that would entirely fix the issue.

    Kitty tube

    Posted by Paul on 19th Jan 2023

    Over the years I have purchased six Kitty tubes. Obviously I'm very satisfied with them or I would have not ordered five after the first one. My semi-feral cats seem to enjoy sleeping in them as well as escaping the cold weather or rain or snow.

    The Kitty Tube

    Posted by Bob & Dara on 9th Jan 2023

    This is very sturdy and offers solid protection during storms, wind, and cold weather. We were surprised how well insulated it is and how easy it was to put together (but you DO need to watch the video). It's so much better than our previous shelters. We are happy to provide shelter for any outdoor strays.

    Fifth KittyTube purchase

    Posted by E.C.A. II on 22nd Dec 2022

    Title says it all. Item arrived within 72 hours. By God’s good grace, Jim’s company is located in same state. Would recommend the double insulation kit and low voltage heater to the oat straw package if live in a cold environment. Right now the ambient temp is -9F without the windchill, and the family of 6 very friendly abandoned cats/kittens are all bunkered down comfortably warm in their KittyTubes. God bless and Merry Christmas.

    Kitty tube

    Posted by Unknown on 22nd Dec 2022

    Love the kitty tube. Don't know if anyone has slept in it yet. But we have a storm on the way so I hope it helps any creature that finds it ❤ What I wish is the opening was up a couple inches higher. So the straw could be much deeper on the bottom.

    Feral cat approved

    Posted by LD on 9th Dec 2022

    I assembled the tube and placed it under a tree in our backyard. I decided not to use the heating pad, but to just put in some of the oat straw. I wanted a shelter for a couple of feral cats we feed. Placed the tube out on a Sunday and by Friday witnessed one of the feral cats exiting the tube! I'm so glad they're using it! I'm impressed.

    My outdoor cats love this.

    Posted by Katrin on 8th Dec 2022

    I now have 2 Kitty Tubes. One on my front porch and one near a shed that is set up as a "cat condo". I take care of 6 outdoor feral cats, and they use these and seem to really like them!

    Kitty Tube

    Posted by Donna on 1st Dec 2022

    It seems sturdy and warm, but the outdoor kitty hasn't used it yet. The awnings and entry were difficult to assemble. The Kitty Tube: So sorry Donna that you struggled with the awning assembly. Our videos can really help on some of these slightly tricky parts.
