What to look for

  • Measure the planned spot and compare the house's footprint, height and door size for the cats.

Questions people ask

What should go inside an outdoor cat house for winter?
Straw is a common choice because it stays drier than blankets or towels, which can hold moisture. A self-warming mat or a heated pad made for outdoor use are other options.
Why do outdoor cat houses have two doors?
A second exit lets a cat leave without feeling trapped if another animal comes to the front door. Many feral cats are more willing to use a shelter with more than one way out.
