New Age PetECOFLEX Outdoor Cat House, Mossy Oak (ECTH351)

A stray cat that we got spayed & vaccinated, refuses to live indoors with us but she loves to live on our covered porch and we've developed a strong bond. For extreme winters, we have an insulated cooler shelter with straw that she loves. However, I wanted her to have something else for the rest of the year that she can enjoyed stretching out, and have a 2nd escape door. We got the K&H Orthopedic Heating mat, it fits perfectly, along with a cat mat that's self warming. I've never seen her so proud and excited!The 4 small grey screws are for the bottom 4 corners. You put those in first.The 4 large grew screws go into the top 4 corners after putting on the roof, but put the bedding in first! Save the tool they send ya, so you can take the roof off to clean the inside.The white pegs are for the clear window pieces.

I bought this for a little cat that visits my yard frequently. I had seen her out during rain and cold and felt sorry for her. I added insulation (similar to bubble wrap, but not bubbly) to all the interior surfaces, put a blanket in it, put some slits in the doorway flaps and set it out for her. I've never seen her get in it but at least I know she can if she really wants to get out of the rain. I have since found out that my neighbor has taken her a pet and feeds her, but she still wants to be outside and for some reason likes my yard. This took just a few minutes to assemble, and had all the parts needed. Just a note: the little "winged" looking parts are placed over the top of the screws to help tighten them.

The rains began and the houses filled with water... very disappointed and upset !

The house was easy to assemble, although it helped to have two of us. I probably could have managed it alone, however. It looks great - not particularly noticeable in the woods behind our house. It's quite sturdy, and we liked the tilted roof for rain run-off.The feral cat loves sitting on top of it. He hasn't, however, used it for its purpose of providing shelter from weather. I think maybe the door flaps confuse him, and yet the doors are a bit big, and without the flaps he would have less protection from the elements. Or maybe he's just being a cat.

This is the 8th Ecoflex cat house I’ve purchased. That tells you how good I think these are. Using for feral cats in our neighborhood.
