Best Outdoor Cat Houses

This product is a great all-around choice for both indoor and outdoor cats. With this cat house, you can leave the door open for outdoor cats to seek some shade and shelter. With indoor cats, you can allow some outdoor time safely.

Feature Highlights:

• Comes with wheels to easily move the house.
• Asphalt roof is waterproof to protect your pet from the weather.
• Removable layer of PVC for easy cleaning.

One great feature with this cat house is that you can use it with a cat door to allow your pet easy access to the outdoors whenever they’d like. Many pet owners have slightly modified the build to allow the door to easily open on an existing cat door.

This product comes with aesthetically pleasing, sturdy materials, but you can also easily put it together yourself if necessary. It provides your cat with a safe place to get some fresh air, and several stories for climbing and exploring. Recommended for: Cats!

If you have feral cats in your area and you would like to provide them with a safe and comfortable place to sleep or avoid bad weather, this product is a great choice. It uses sturdy materials, double doors, and door flaps to keep the cats safe, warm, and dry.

Feature Highlights:

• EcoFLEX material doesn’t warp, fade, rot, or splinter.
• Easy to assemble without any tools.
• Uses two doors so cats have a safe escape from predators.

Feral cats have slightly different needs than housecats or indoor-outdoor cats. For a cat who lives outdoors, their cat house needs a few special precautions. The double doors give the cat an escape route from danger should one door become blocked.

Another great feature is the vinyl flaps on the entryways. These help the house retain heat and keep the cat warm while also reducing drafts. For even better results you can add blankets or a pet-safe heating source. Recommended for: Cats!

This product is similar to the feral cat house above, but comes at a better value. You can use it for your own cats as well! In addition, it also comes with its own heating source that your cat, or the local feral cats, will absolutely love during chilly days.

Feature Highlights:

• Pet safe heating pad included.
• Unique, attractive-looking design.
• Insulation helps keep your cat warm and comfortable.

The included heating pad and insulated interior make this cat house a great choice. However, this product does not stand up to weather on its own legs nearly as effectively as the previous product. For this reason, you should set up the cat house under a cover if possible.

This warm and cozy house works well for both indoor and outdoor cats. Many pet owners even use it inside with their cats, so that on cold days their pets have a nice warm place to curl up.  Recommended for: Cats!

If your cat frequents the outdoors, you might want to provide a nice lounging area for them to sunbathe or hide from the weather while they are outside. This adorable product provides a great spot for your cat to use while outside.

Feature Highlights:

• Made with sturdy wooden material.
• Company replaces any parts for free for up to one year.
• Easy to assemble with no extra hands required.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how adorable this product is? It provides a unique combination, with an enclosed space below for warmth and a patio above for lounging. The covered roof protects your pet from the weather.

In addition to the enclosed house below, the structure also features two doors so that your cat cannot become trapped if a door is blocked. All-in-all, this product provides a great spot for your cats to play, lounge, and retreat from the elements. Recommended for: Cats!

If you’d like an easy, pop-up option to give your pet some outdoor time, this tent is a great choice. It uses light mesh to keep your pet contained, and thus you can easily fold it back up and store it when your cat is done lounging.

Feature Highlights:

• Lightweight material is easy to store and assemble.
• Portable design means you can bring it with you virtually anywhere.
• Comes with a tent and exploring tunnel.

The setup with the tunnel and the tent is a great choice, particularly if you have a bit of ingenuity to go around. One reviewer reported that she set up the tent so that the tunnel accessed the window of her house, allowing free access to the outdoors in a safe way.

However, you should always ensure the product is always securely fastened to the ground or to other objects. The lightweight material can blow away in heavy wind or be moved by a determined cat. When used correctly, this product makes a great choice! Recommended for: Cats!
