Basic Outdoor Cat Shelter, Wood Cat House, Insulated, Earth Friendly

Features of our Basic Outdoor Cat Shelter

Design has been cat tested and refined over the past 10 years.

Two Plexiglas windows allow sunlight in, keep weather out and let your cat keep an eye on things.

Roof removes easily for access and cleaning, stays securely in place with bungee cords looped under the side window awnings.

Doorway, 5 1/2" wide by 7 1/2" high, allows cats to come and go, but keeps larger animals out.

Inside dimensions: 21" x 15" x 14" high.

Outside dimensions: 22" x 20" x 15" high.

Small enough to allow your cat's body heat to warm the interior, optional insulation makes it even warmer!

Optional insulation package:
Foil-lined R 7.2 insulation reflects heat back into the house, and is installed on the floor, front, back and roof, which is then covered with mahogany plywood. The insulated floor is removable for cleaning, the other insulation panels are permanently installed.

Environmentally conscious 'green' manufacturing processes:

Locally sourced materials reduces carbon footprint from transportation.
House is designed to efficiently use every bit of a 4 x 8 foot sheet of paneling with no waste.
Small pieces from the window and door cut outs are used to make the breezeway and the foundation pads.
Built to last!

Add the optional back door for a quick escape and better ventilation. Clear, rigid plastic back door cover is included.

Add the optional breezeway with clear Plexiglas window for even more protection from the weather.

All wood construction allows the house to breathe.

The walls and floors are adhered with nails and strong, clear adhesive caulking to strengthen the structure.

Every house is detailed by hand, sealing all cracks and crevices to protect your cat and the house itself from wind, rain and snow.

Floor is 1/2" wood with 1/2" foundation pads on the corners for air flow and vapor space beneath the floor.

Placement considerations

Careful consideration needs to be given as to where your pet would most like his or her new house. Here are some questions you can ask yourself and some ideas to think about:

Is there a particular spot where your cat likes to sleep?

Which door do you most often use to let your pet in and out?

When waiting for you to come home, what door does your kitty like to wait beside?

Is there a space your kitty would like to wait for you, but can't because of inclement weather?

Does your kitty seek high places to sleep, even when there appears to be a more comfortable place somewhere else? Maybe you can place the house up on a table or a shelf.

Maybe your cat would like to have his or her house in a place where you can be seen during most of the day.

Though they are designed to withstand the elements, our outdoor cat shelters are always best placed under an awning or overhang, or in a similarly protected spot.

For the longest life, there are two places to avoid putting your new cat house:

Directly on the dirt or grass
In continuous contact with standing moisture

A fleece blanket adds to your cat's comfort, and is included with all our cat houses.

Back door can be covered with the clear plexi cover (included)
The optional back door (shown above) provides better ventilation and a quick escape from uninvited guests! A clear plexiglas door cover, screwed to the door trim wood, is provided to cover the unused doorway if needed.

Optional breezeway adds extra protection from wind and blowing rain or snow.

Big enough for a 22 pound cat, cat house provides shelter for even large breeds Wondering if your large breed cat will fit? The orange cat inside the bungalow at left weighs about 22 pounds. Now, he did squeeze through the doorway because he is so round but when a cat wants inside the house, they will get in! We have had Maine Coons move in when their owners were doubtful. To this day we have not had a cat who could not fit.
