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.

    Love these cat houses

    Posted by Suzanne on 14th Apr 2025

    I have several kitty tubes as I take care of a feral cat colony of TNR cats. They love these houses. I have had them for many years all I do in the fall is replace the straw. I know they will last forever. Thank you for a fantastic product.

    Just what feral Mabel needed!

    Posted by Mendy on 7th Mar 2025

    I had a small shelter for my feral kitty Mabel, but I got worried that it wasn't warm enough in the winter. I took a chance on this. She was scared of it at first and wouldn't go inside even if I put treats or catnip in there. On a slightly warmer night, I took the top completely off and just left it open, with the heating pad on top of the straw. That did the trick. She slept on the heating pad that night, and the next day (and all the days after) has been going in with no problem after I put the top back on. I like that it is so well insulated, and it's not an eyesore sitting on my porch. I'm glad I took the chance, and now I can rest easier knowing that little kitty feels safe and warm in her new little house.

    Great cat shelters

    Posted by Bryan on 12th Feb 2025

    I've purchased multiple shelters and they've all held up incredibly well. My oldest shelter is almost 15 years old and is still going strong. Highly recommended.

    Kitty cat tube

    Posted by Patty on 20th Jan 2025

    Have been using kitty cat tubes for many years. Great shelter for the feral cats I’ve cared for over the years. Easy to assemble, easy to clean, light enough to move around, a warm, safe place with an opening that prevents raccoons and others from entering. Very sturdy. Mine have lasted for many years. Highly recommend them, they are worth the price.

    Kitty tube with straw

    Posted by Elizabeth on 13th Jan 2025

    I’ve been caring for the semi feral cat of a friend who is recently deceased. Zeva is very shy and no longer has access to indoors. The Kitty tube has been a life saver for her in this cold weather. I see her coming out of the shelter every morning when I go to feed her. The tube is easy to set up, well made and the cat loves it. Thanks!

    Second kitty tube!

    Posted by Francesca on 13th Jan 2025

    My outdoor feral who is now a fairly friendly young man loves this thing. I live in a very cold climate in Winter and he's in it all the time. His sister has another kind of house I've used and finally caved and got her a Kitty Tube. The first one I got did take a bit of time for Scooter to go in to, but he finally did. I left the little canopy part off for a while so he'd go in. It's going to be in the teens with high winds so I'm happy to have a second and then my two other smaller heated houses can go for the other cats out in this horrible Winter we are having. It lasts while still looking nice, easy to clean in the late Spring and isn't an eye sore. I put the straw under the bed kind of building a nest up along the walls and put the heated pad in the middle. It's great. Just in time for single digits the next few days.

    Kitty Tube

    Posted by Claudia on 6th Jan 2025

    We love this kitty tube because it is keeping our outdoor cat safe and warm during these freezing temperatures. He's not an indoors cat and the outdoors is his territory. We know he's make it through the winter with the Kitty Tube!!

    Nothing Better!!

    Posted by JT on 21st Dec 2024

    You will not regret this purchase! Worth every penny! I purchased for feral cats in a cold winter climate. I have tried many other shelters and nothing stands up like these and nothing provides the warmth like the double insulation. We have many predators and the kitty tube has kept them safe. I bought one a couple years ago and another recently and you can’t tell which one is the newer one, outstanding quality! Not to mention how wonderful it is to support a small business.
