Is it warm enough for winter?

No. The wood shell has no insulation or heating, so it works best as a wind-and-rain shelter. Add straw bedding or a pet heat pad for cold nights.

How many cats fit inside?

The upper cabin comfortably holds one cat, and the open lower level gives another cat space. It suits two or three cats that share.

Yes. Seal or paint the wood before placing it outdoors, especially the roof and floor edges, to slow water damage.

The roof and raised floor shed most rain, but untreated wood will swell and warp. Put it on a covered porch or seal it well.

Most owners manage with basic tools in an hour or two. Expect to redrill or adjust a few holes.

No. Plan on adding your own bedding, such as straw, a blanket or a fitted pad.
