Cat House: Weatherproof shelter for outdoor cats in the open air
Outdoor cats need a dry spot outside. A cat house protects your cat from wind and rain on the patio, on the balcony or out in the garden.
Cat House: Shelter for outdoor cats in the open air
If your cat spends a lot of time outside, it needs somewhere it can rest dry and protected. An outdoor cat house offers exactly that, on the patio, on the balcony or in the garden. It keeps out wind, rain and cold and gives your cat a permanent retreat, even when nobody is at home. For outdoor cats it's a real relief, especially in the colder months.
Weatherproof, recycled or heated
The Kerbl Rustica outdoor cat houses are built to be weatherproof and made for use outdoors. The ECO houses Paola, Paola XL, Eli, Emila and Alex are made of recycled plastic, are robust and easy to wash down. Paola XL offers especially generous space. For frosty nights there's the heated 4-Seasons Deluxe, which gives your cat a warm shelter even in sub-zero temperatures.
The right spot outdoors
Place the cat house in a sheltered spot where it isn't permanently in blazing sun. The entrance should face away from the weather side, so no rain blows in. A slightly raised position protects against cold and damp from the ground. Cats also appreciate a spot with a good view, from which they can see the front door and garden.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make the cat house ready for winter?
Raise it off the ground so no cold rises from below, and turn the entrance away from the wind. Dry straw is better for bedding than blankets, because blankets absorb moisture and become damp. In hard frost, a heated house is the most comfortable solution.
Can I use an outdoor cat house on the balcony too?
Yes, on a secured balcony it makes a lovely retreat, even for cats that don't roam freely. Choose a spot that is protected from rain and the blazing midday sun. Lightweight plastic models are easy to move around there.
How often should I clean the cat house?
Look inside regularly and replace damp or soiled bedding. A thorough clean with warm water once or twice a month is worthwhile, without harsh or strongly scented products. That keeps the house hygienic and gives parasites hardly anywhere to hide.
Cat houses for garden, patio and balcony
A cat house gives your outdoor cat a dry and sheltered place to rest outside. Especially if your cat can't get into the house at any time, a weatherproof shelter on the patio, on the balcony or in the garden is worth a great deal. With us you'll find Kerbl outdoor cat houses that stand up to wind and rain, as well as ECO houses made of recycled plastic that are robust and easy to clean. For frosty nights there's also a heated model that reliably gives your cat warmth in winter. Place the house slightly raised, turn the entrance away from the weather side and line it with dry straw. Then your cat has a safe retreat outdoors all year round, where it feels at home in every season. Check the bedding regularly and replace it when it gets damp, so the shelter stays cosy and dry.
