K&H Pet Products Heated Outdoor Cat House for Outside Pets in Winter, Weatherproof Outdoor House for Ferals, Insulated Kitty Shelter, 2 Doors, Waterproof Heated Cat Bed, Safety Listed - Olive/Olive

I ordered my cat house two days ago and got it today. Upon initial inspection, the house appears to be of good quality; the external material appears to be something like heavy canvas. The structure inside the panels has some kind of rigid hardboard that keeps its shape. The house is very easy to assemble with the Velcro strips, and appears to seal well. The instructions point out that the house itself is not waterproof and does require something over and around it to keep the rain off. The house appears to be at least weather resistant. I will be centrally locating the house on my large back porch so it won't be exposed to driving rain or snow. I got the model that has a heated pad and upon testing (per instructions), it works well. The pad heats well and does not put out excessive heat. I will likely feed my outdoor cat by placing the food bowl inside the house so she can become familiar with it. I will also leave one of the clear plastic doors off for a few days until she gets comfortable being inside, then I will install the door (velcro strip). Maybe then she will learn to push on the plastic door to come and go. I'm actually placing the house under one of my porch chairs to sort of anchor it from strong winds. I had planned on using Zip-ties and large safety pins anchored to a couple of bricks to achieve this but decided on the chair for the time being. I'll see how this works out. All in all, it appears the house is a good value and should last a pretty good while. The price was more reasonable than other brands and models.

I wasn't even going to write a review on this at first because there's already so many positive reviews about it on here but after experiencing something super disgusting I felt really compelled to to give current owners of this/future buyers a heads up. I have two indoor cats and two outdoor cats. The reason they're outdoors isn't by my choice trust me because I adore animals and love helping them, I live with my dad and as you know when you live with someone you have to be courteous of their wants/needs too and he's not all that crazy about having four cats in the house (our house isn't small but not huge by a long shot) and most importantly I had my two indoor cats before I moved to my current home and found both my two outdoor cats living as strays on my property so I have to keep their needs to heart as well- four cats (as well as two dogs) in one medium sized house is a no go and wouldn't make them too happy especially my cats because they like having space. My two outdoor cats get treated the exact same and get the same amount of love and care as my indoor cats, only difference is they live outside. I live out in the country, don't have neighbors for miles and have 13 acres of land so they're safe and they NEVER get within 100 feet of the road (only have one road in front of my house but my house is about 400 feet back so it's not on right on the toad) if they even hear a car they'll hall butt back to the house to safety. Which leads me to why I purchased this. I have a garage that I set up real nice for them, so if the weathers bad anything like that i'll bring them in my garage (my cars are stored in my workshop that's a separate building) but the thing is Cleo and Mufasa (my two outdoor cats) really ain't all the crazy about each other, i'll bring them both in when it's bad but they hiss at each other and Mufasa isn't 100% calm around people, he's still somewhat skittish so getting him in the garage isn't super hard but not super easy either, whereas Cleo is the compelete opposite. So I got this for Mufasa, obviously i'll still bring him inside if weather gets super bad but on a regular basis this is fine. I set it up around 4/5 days ago, I put it in my garden against my house because Mufasa often lays in there so I thought it'd be a good spot.. and I was right he's used it a lot BUT today I passed it and saw that it had dirt and mulch in it from the garden from him going in and out so I went to it and picked it up to take the heating pad out to shake the dirt out and guess what happened? THERE WAS ANTS LIVING IN IT they actually made an ant hill underneath it! 🤢 And don't worry it gets better, I got my broom to sweep the ants off then took it apart and as I did that a cockroach came flying out after calming down I lifted the heating mat out and there was another little cockroach underneath the mat and two earwigs 🤢🤢 I immediately took the whole thing apart and threw the heating mat cover in the washing machine. So to sum things up: It works, it's good quality, rainproof, my cat loves it and it'll keep your baby warm but don't be surprised when you see disgusting bugs in there who are tryin to keep warm too 🤢 I'm really not sure what can be done to keep the bugs out it's super gross but just wanted to give y'all a heads up... nothing you can do but being prepared for the nastiness is better then nothin.

I love the appearance of this small outdoor cat house. It was easy to put together just had to match up the heavy duty velcro that is already sewed into the material. The material is heavy duty. It comes with a heavy duty plastic door for the front and back. I chose not to put the front on until my outdoor cat gets used to being in it. The heating pad is soft and only heats up when the cat lays on it. The small cat house is plenty big for 1 cat.

Let me start by saying that the heated pad in this thing is AWESOME! When our feral cat comes out of this house and I feel the pad it’s super warm and is doing exactly what it says it does. So why 4 starts instead of 5? Because the “insulation” is basically nothing. Sure, it’ll keep out the rain and snow (which is great), but the sides of this thing get extremely cold when temperatures drop and I don’t think it holds any kind of heat at all. I worked around this by adding styrofoam to the walls (and rear entrance) and concocting a “roof” of styrofoam as well that’s about half the height of the actual roof on this thing to try and keep the heat in and the cold out a bit better. All in all though it’s a great shelter if u have an outside cat that hangs around and needs some warmth on those super cold January/February nights to help them survive.

Our outdoor kitties love this little house. Easy to assemble. The heating pad keeps whichever cat is in it nice and warm on cold days and nights.

La compré para este tiempo de lluvias. Es fácil de armar y muy útil. La coloqué en el jardín ya que ahí viven un par de gatos comunitarios. Eso si, es pequeña por lo que caben máximo 3 gatos.

Recientemente llegó un gatito a mi patio y comencé a alimentarlo, empezó la temporada de lluvia y frío y esta opción de casita al exterior me pareció la adecuada, resiste vientos, el cuando enciendo el pad por las noches para ayudar con el tema de frío, a él se le ve muy cómodo.

This is fantastic, I have two. The log cabin effect is beautiful too. You need a uk adapter.

This kitty house structure would warrant 5 stars it is easy to construct, a strong structure the Velcro edges make it so easy to access. The heat mat also looks good quality but I was so disappointed to find the plug and electrics are not UK compliant. The kitty house was what I wanted but I have had to purchase a separate heat mat to fit inside. Amazon - can you please make it clear on your advertising what countries the product is suitable for. I have looked again and could no find any information about the plug/electrics.

De calidad y fácil de armar pero es para zonas cubiertas como la cochera o zona de lavandería. No es para tenerlo al aire libre. Mi gato se tardó en usarlo, ni siquiera entraba por curiosidad, pero ahora cuando hace frío sí le gusta meterse y asomarse por la ventanita.
