Outdoor Cat House with Insulated Liner Weatherproof Feral Cat Shelter for Winter

I bought this for a colony of feral cats that I take care of. It went together fairly easy. It’s sturdy and nicely made. My only issue is the plastic strips that is supposed to block the weather, and the wind frightens the ferals.

This was purchased for the feral cat at work. I was pretty surprised, but he began to use it right away. Now I don't have to worry about him freezing to death in the mountain winter. The maintenance man attached it to a pallet to keep it weighted down. It also might float in a flood... Money well spent it is well made and looks durable. Asphalt shingles on the roof means it will be waterproof and retain heat. The maintenance man said it was easy to put together.

Easy to assemble. The thickness of the boards make me question if they are actually insulated. The house stays dry and our little feral moved in within 30 minutes of assembling. There are small gaps in the floor so we added a barrier to keep the wind out.

I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was. I am using it for a shelter for a feral cat. Easy to put together and seems to do the job. I was going to make one, but for the money, this is a good alternative.

Easy & quick to put together. Keeps my barn cat warm when it gets a little cooler outside.

Ok, the instructions were good. However, it says it should take only 30 minutes to put it together. Not true. It took 30 minutes to unpack and lay out the pieces. Then it took me close to 2 hours to completely complete the assembly, mainly because that there were no starter holes to place the screws as they were self tapping. Fastening the sides to the back was not fun as it kept falling before I could use the screws. Securing the lid was the hardest part because of the way U had to hold it in place by myself, start the screws and try not to let the lid fall. Otherwise, it's looks good after all that work. Probably needs 2 people to assemble this thing.

I recently purchased this item for a stray cat in our neighborhood. I had seen this product listed from different sellers on Amazon and ultimately decided on from this seller. We put it together last night and here is my official review. It was generally easy to put together, it took my husband and I around an hour. However, the instructions said “Panel A” yet none of them were labeled. The sides and top were pretty straight forward so we figured it out. I had read that the house tends to leak, so I put some weather proof protection on all sides of the house (see photo). The bottom panels just pop in, but there are some pretty big gaps (see photo) so I used painters tap to “seal” them. Then we placed two garbage bags over them to better keep out moisture and the cold air (see photo). There are “pre-drilled” holes so you can see where you need to place your screws. However, the hinge that opens and closes the roof didn’t seal on the original placement, so we had to tweak that a bit. The wood also doesn’t seem to want to connect when screwed (if that makes sense). There were lots of times where we’d have to take the screw out and re-do it. The wood also did split a little in different areas. I had also seen reviews of the smell. There is a smell to the house. It smells of paint not it’s nothing that I think wouldn’t go away with time. I did have to trim the plastic flaps on the doors a little so they would not get stuck. I also had to screw one into the side of the door to keep it down, yet the other ones are fine. The “insulation” is nice. However, the bottom of the house still feels firm and there isn’t much cushion. We’ll probably buy some straw (not hay) to put on the bottom for comfort and to regulate heat. I do like the fact that the installation covers the entirety of the cat house. It also zips up for easy installation and for cleaning. Overall, I think this is a fine cat house for the strays in your neighborhood. It is big enough to where you could put a small food bowl inside (I’m scared to put water since it might tip over). You’ll probably need to get something to fill in the cracks to keep out the cold air. I recommend the insulation cat house over the other without it. Especially with the cracks in the floor and how hard the wood is. If you are considering this house: please remember not to place blankets, towels, fleece, or even a pet bed in the house. If it were to get wet and cold, it will freeze inside the house. Hay will also hold moisture and may freeze. If you are looking into something that will regulate body heat and stay dry: always, always use straw!

Well made! I’m currently rehabbing two young opossums. They have transitioned to an outside enclosure. I was hoping they would utilize this well-made cat house. They prefer to burrow underneath it and drag straw into their little nest. I would not hesitate to purchase this in the future. I do wish that they would go inside of it instead of under it. This is what they want to do so this is what they get to do. This would be a great addition for feral cats or other small chers that you would like to keep them warm this winter. For some reason, my opossums just prefer to be under it.
