Is the Frisco Outdoor Cat House weatherproof?

The asphalt roof and fir wood construction handle rain and sun, but the wood is not sealed. In wet or freezing climates, treat the wood and add bedding or a heat source for winter.

How many cats fit inside?

It is rated for cats up to 15 lbs and has two levels, so one or two cats fit comfortably. More than that gets crowded, especially in the hiding areas.

Does it come assembled?

No. Assembly is required and no tools are included, so have a screwdriver and drill on hand. Plan for about an hour of build time.

Can I leave it outside all year?

It is built for outdoor use, but bare fir wood degrades in prolonged moisture. Seal or repaint it before winter and check the roof and joints each season.

Is it good for feral cats?

Yes, it gives feral cats a dry place to hide, but it is not insulated. For freezing weather, add straw bedding and consider a heated pad rated for outdoor use.

Our take on the Frisco Outdoor Cat House

The Frisco Outdoor Cat House is a two-story wooden shelter for cats, built from fir wood with an asphalt roof and styled like a small picket-fence cottage. It stands free in a backyard and gives cats a place to hide, climb and escape weather. It suits cats up to 15 lbs, and the 35-lb frame keeps it stable in wind. It is a seasonal outdoor piece rather than a heated or insulated shelter.
