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.

    Kitty Tube

    Posted by Gina on 6th Nov 2022

    I bought this to add to my collection of houses for neighborhood homeless cats. It is the most expensive one I have purchased. It is sturdy, including the insulation which I was glad to see is not Styrofoam and appears made to hold up to kitty life. It was easy to assemble the various accessories. However, mine did not come with the clear door flap that is listed in the instructions. The cats accepted it from the first night. It is roomy enough for 2 cats if they snuggle close, but currently only one cat sleeps in it. A recent rain showed that the the top of the domed lid does not completely drain. It collects a shallow bit of water, but it was dry by the next day. So far I am happy with the house because the cats are happy with it.

    Kitty Tube is Awesome!

    Posted by Linda Miller on 31st Oct 2022

    These are so nice. Easy to put together and such a good quality. Less than 5 minutes after I put them together the feral cats were climbing in checking them out. The next morning 4 came out of one house for breakfast.

    Kitty tube with heating pad

    Posted by Judy on 30th Oct 2022

    I care for many community cats that I have TNR’d. They all take turns in the 5 kitty tubes I have purchased over the years. First come , first gets a house. A couple sleep together. A little price at first, but they do stand up to the weather conditions. 4 of the 5 tubes I have are upgraded for the winter, with the extra insulation.

    Warm, safe and cozy for stray cats

    Posted by Judi on 23rd Oct 2022

    We have a stray cat in our neighborhood. I got this for her to stay in this winter when it gets cold. It was easy to put together and it's easy to replace the straw. I know she'll be safe, warm and dry in her Kitty Tube.

    Brilliant!

    Posted by Linda on 19th Oct 2022

    This is one terrific little house - it’s worth the cost! Assembly was easy enough and, if you’re more clever than I am, you won’t install the handles upside down. I did manage to get them out and re-install them properly. The Kitty Tube arrived today, I put it out at feeding time not too far from the feeding station, and my feral kitten went inside immediately after eating. She arrived on my doorstep about a month ago and can’t be more than 4 months old. I’m no longer so worried for her as she’ll have a very cozy place to sleep during her first Western PA winter. Glad I bought extra insulation and straw to help her out. I commend Jim for his ingenuity and compassion!

    Kitty Tube Review

    Posted by Jim Anderson on 17th Oct 2022

    I am the caretaker for a feral cat colony. These shelters are wonderful! The setup is easy, the cats like them, and I sleep better at night knowing that the cats are protected from the elements. Wonderful product looking forward to purchasing more in the future.

    Easy to assemble

    Posted by Beth on 13th Oct 2022

    My 12 year old nephew and I put three of the tubes together in 30 minutes. Definitely watch the YouTube video; very helpful. It’s October in NE PA so just starting to get cold but my one old feral Tom cat is already making himself at home in one! I feel so much better having shelter for my TNR neighborhood cats I feed.

    Exceptionally well made item. Local feral kitties love it. The double insulation is a wonderful option for extremely cold midwest winters. Highly recommend this product. Fabulous customer service.
