Automatic Heating for Cold-Weather Comfort
The integrated 32–35W electric heating pad provides a heated resting surface to help keep cats comfortable during colder weather. Its automatic temperature-control system regulates heating, with a stated maximum temperature of approximately 100.4°F when used with the supplied cover.
The soft flannel cover provides an additional layer of comfort and can be removed for cleaning. The shelter may also be used without the heating pad during warmer months, provided the remaining enclosure is appropriate for the weather.
Important: The heating temperature refers to the pad's stated performance, not the surrounding air temperature inside the cat house. Actual warmth will depend on outdoor conditions and placement.
Multi-Layer Insulation & Weather Protection
Constructed with durable waterproof 600D Oxford fabric and multiple insulating layers, this shelter helps reduce exposure to cold air and moisture.
Pearl cotton, insulated cotton, and aluminum foil insulation work together to help retain warmth, while the raised 5.91-inch feet help separate the shelter from damp ground.
Protective roof eaves provide additional coverage around the openings. For best results, position the shelter beneath a covered porch or in another protected area away from heavy wind and direct precipitation.
Two Entrances & Three Windows
Designed with outdoor cats in mind, this shelter features two closable entrances that provide flexible access and allow cats to move through the enclosure.
Three windows, including two mesh panels and one clear panel, offer visibility and ventilation. The combination creates a practical resting environment while allowing pets to observe their surroundings.
Spacious & Durable Construction
Measuring 26 inches long, 16.54 inches wide, and 14 inches high, the shelter provides room for cats to curl up, rest, and relax.
The reinforced fiberglass frame provides structural support while remaining lightweight enough for convenient placement and relocation.
The manufacturer-supplied specifications indicate a support capacity of up to 110 pounds. This is a structural rating and does not mean the shelter can comfortably accommodate an animal weighing 110 pounds.
Easy Assembly & Convenient Maintenance
The tool-free assembly design makes setup quick and straightforward. Included ground stakes provide additional stability when used in suitable outdoor locations.
The removable heating pad cover makes routine cleaning easier, while the durable fabric construction supports everyday maintenance.
