K&H Heated Cat House, Outdoor Kitty Shelter, Safety Listed, 20W, Olive | Heated Cat House for Outside, Weatherproof Shelter for Ferals, Insulated with Smart Thermostat, 2 Doors, Waterproof Bed

This is the best heated outdoor cat house! Purchased for feral cats that were living outdoors and had no other warm dry shelter. It is made of water resistant material that truly does keep the interior dry. It withstood rain, snow, ice and very cold temperatures in PA. The removal pad is washable and durable. Easy access with velcro enclosure. Just plug into electrical outlet and it quickly heats up to a comfortable temperature. The cats were cozy warm and protected from the harsh weather. Highly recommend this!

We live in an area that is just far enough from the city to get a lot of idiots dumping cats, so we always have strays and ferals around. We also live in an area that routinely gets very cold in winter. There are 3.5 crazy cat people in the house, and we've maxed out our indoor cat capacity, so we keep expanding our stray/feral feeding and shelter operations. (Yes, we also have a cat trap and local TNR options.) We've made a couple diy shelters, but these are a lot faster and easier to put together, and I really like having the heated pad. It only warms when there's pressure on it, and the temp doesn't get very high, but it's enough to help a cold, damp kitty be more comfortable. That said, we don't just drop them on the ground, plug them in, and walk away - there are a few modifications needed to make these good outdoor shelters. First, our outdoor population doesn't appear to like the flaps, so I usually leave one on and remove the other. However, snow gets in on the flapless side quite easily. Also, they're only kind of waterproof - I wouldn't trust them to resist a hard rain or a wet snow. The solution to both problems is to get a roll of reflective-foil bubble insulation and use it under and over the shelter. I place a rectangle of it underneath the house to insulate from the ground - it's even better with plywood or something under the insulation. Then I cover the top with a piece large enough to overhang the flapless entrance by several inches. The insulation is quite waterproof, and also helps keep warmth inside the shelter. I use extra-large binder clips to attach the top piece, which means the overhang can't go all the way around, but it's worked pretty well so far. Another option would be to basically wrap the whole thing in the insulation - underneath, up the side, over the top, and back down the other side. If you need to place a shelter where it can't be plugged in, adding a piece of insulation under the pad, and/or replacing the pad with a self-warming cat mat, can help retain warmth. I do recommend locating them as far as possible from high-traffic areas, so shy kitties won't be afraid to hunker down in them. With the modifications described, we've kept these outdoors year round for several years, with no maintenance other than washing the pads once in a while. The oldest one has been out there since 2017, and other than fading a bit, it's as good as new. I highly recommend these as an affordable option for those who want to help homeless kitties.

Our cats wander freely from their designated indoor room to outside, and recently we moved their indoor lodgings to the garage to give them more wandering space. We have pleasant weather in the south, but as the garage ground is cement and gets mildly chill, and our cats are not young (14 yrs old), we wanted to get a self-heating bed for them. We tried multiple different products, initially experimenting solely with pet beds, but the beds would eventually begin sagging on the sides which undermined the ability to retain warmth. Then we found this one. The house design is perfect for keeping the heat in and it satisfies the feline enjoyment of hiding in something. It's actually big enough to fit both grown cats, but our girl-cat likes her personal space, so they never share it. I was actually skeptical of this thing at first ($$), but seeing our cat's enjoyment made it totally worth it. They're so old and have tired of toys and aren't as excited for treats anymore, so it's great to see them intrigued by something for such a span of time. You can really tell both cats love it because it's always occupied. Our boy-cat would wait pathetically at the entrance for his turn or rush in when girl-cat goes to feed. We bought another one in sympathy. It holds up pretty well too so far (we've used them for about a month), but that's also probably because the walls can't be sat on and squashed. Overall: a fantastic purchase and managed to keep our cat's attention for an amazing length of time. A bit expensive, yes, but seeing your cats' pleasure makes it a worthy splurge. As a bonus, makes the most adorable setting to pictures of your cats in.

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.

We have been feeding this feral cat for 10+ years now. We did make a few homemade houses in the past for her that she would use. I bought the one with the heating pad and she absolutely loves it. It took a little bit for her to actually go inside as she is very cautious and can be a little skittish at times but safe to say she feels very comfortable in there. We put it on our hot tub which is her favorite place to lay in the winter because of the warmth. We also feed her at this door so it’s very convenient for her especially since she is getting older. She will sleep in her house for hours during the day and goes in at night too! It’s been a brutally winter and I am so happy I got this for her! House is waterproof but we put a cover over to protect the house when we got 1ft of snow and we had to secure the house when having extremely windy conditions. All in all great house!

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.

Purchased three of these beds for outside cats. It took over seven months for two of my cats to sleep in the beds. One still will not go near the bed. So happy I bought these beds, because they are warm. They were easy to assemble and are very durable. The beds are covered by a porch, so I am not sure how weather resistant they are.

This has been the best purchase for the feral cat I've been feeding for the past 3 years. I bought him a different one first, and he did not go in it; I realized it probably looked more like a trap. From the first time I put this out in November, it became his home; he loves it! Sometimes he has a friend he shares it with. This was a great purchase and gave me so much peace; we had a terribly cold winter this year. I researched all the different products and am very happy this is the one I chose.

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.

Tengo 6 gatos y a una de mis gatitas no le gusta estar dentro de la casa y compré esta casa para ella en invierno y le encantó estar dentro de su casita con el colchón térmico y duerme muy agusto y no me preocupa que esté en exterior

I keep winter temperatures inside low. I have old arthritic cat who takes pain meds but he needs his heat. Both cats take turns to enjoy this house (inside). I also have an electric blanket on couch. So they change off. Is a great product but HOLY has the price ever increased since I bought it in 2021. Like double!
