Product FAQs

Q: What are the best cat homes for larger cats? 

We chose the best cat homes for bigger cats based on the size of the entry way, the sturdiness, and how much internal space each cardboard cat home has. With this in mind, our best homes for larger cats are:

Each of these has been tried and tested by kitties up to 24 lbs. 

All of these offerings have a wide enough entry way to fit larger kitties, are durable enough for large cats to be comfortable both lounging and playing (and in some cases, have doubly reinforced floors to be even more sturdy!), and have enough internal space for any large cat to spread out completely. 😺

Please check each product page for specific dimensions.

Q: Are these cat homes durable enough for larger cats? 

Yes! Although there are specific designs that are particularly great for larger cats (see above), each one of our designs have been tested by our own 20 lb. kitties. 

Q: What are the best cat homes for multi-cat households?

We chose the best cat homes for multi-cat households based on the number of places to lounge, the number of entry points, and the internal space of each cat home. With this in mind, our best homes for multi-cat households are:

All of these offerings have multiple places for various kitties to lounge, multiple entry points, and/or lots of internal space so that everyone can enjoy the cat home at the same time. 😸

Please check each product page for specific dimensions. 

Q: Are these cat homes completely safe for cats?

Yes! We work closely with our cardboard suppliers to make sure that our cat homes are made of completely non-toxic and safe cardboard. Our materials aren't treated nor sprayed with any chemicals, so even if your kitty is really into chewing cardboard, you can rest assured that no harm will come to them.

Q: Which cat homes are the best for blind kitties?

We chose the best cat homes for blind kitties based on cat homes with easy entry points at ground level. With this in mind, our best homes for blind kitties are:

All of these offerings have entry points at ground level. 

Q: Are these cat homes completely recyclable?

Yes! All of our products are made completely out of 200 lb. test corrugated cardboard and nothing else. That means there aren't any plastic/metal screws, glue, tape, or anything else that couldn't be recycled. 

Q: How long does it take to assemble these cat homes?

5-15 minutes per cat home 

The assembly time varies by complexity of design - please see each individual product page for assembly estimates.
