A large, enclosed wooden shelter built for cats that spend real time outdoors, with two levels and an asphalt roof, though the size and assembly make it a bigger commitment than a fabric pop-up.

Overview

['This Pawbuilt cat house is built from wood with an asphalt shingle roof, the same roofing material used on sheds and dog houses, which helps it shed rain. It is a two-story, enclosed design, giving a cat separate levels to climb between rather than one open box.', 'At 29 inches deep, 30 inches wide, and 31.5 inches tall, it is a sizable structure meant for a permanent spot in a yard rather than a portable option you move often. Assembly is required, so budget time to put it together before it is ready for use.']

Pros

  • Two-story enclosed layout gives cats separate levels to explore
  • Asphalt roof is built to shed rain like a shed or dog house roof
  • Solid wood construction suited to permanent outdoor placement
  • Sizable footprint works well for barn cats or larger yards

Cons

  • Requires assembly out of the box
  • Large footprint is not practical for small patios or balconies
  • Higher price point than fabric or plastic shelters

Frequently asked questions

Does this cat house need to be assembled?

Yes, assembly is required. It ships unassembled, so plan for setup time before placing it outdoors.

Is it suitable for winter weather?

The asphalt roof and enclosed wood construction are built to handle rain and general outdoor exposure, similar to a small shed. For extreme cold, adding bedding or a heated pad may help.

How much room does it give a cat?

At 29 by 30 by 31.5 inches with two stories, it offers more interior space than a single-level shelter, enough for a cat to move between levels rather than stay in one enclosed spot.
