The rubbermaid is more expensive but I have a couple that have held up
for 5-6 years while the cheaper ones lasted a year or two.

The above pretty much compliles all of the affordable ways to make
or buy
cat shelters. I've heard feral villa is very good.
And btw - if you are making your own, your SPCA should have straw
for free
and your home depot/ lowes will probably give you hard foam
insulation for
free if it's damanged and most of the stock people will find you one.
They also may sponsor it - you have to write a proposal to the
manager and
give them a week or two to respond. Ask at the desk.
Also, don't get a clear bin, they are hard to cut, they crack -
others are
easier. Find one that's easy to cut. It may take a little
experimenting. :)
Hope that helps!

the kit

Thanks Natalie!

Is this for cats to actually live in or to be able to go outside
from a
house?
We have built our own and also used kits from CA. We have 4 outdoor
enclosures attached to our house, cat doors, for cats to use as
they like.
We shut down in very cold weather because the cat doors aren't that
good.
Will be back in CT tomorrow - shutting down computer until then.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Advice Needed on Outside Cat Houses
Hey guys,
I am going to undertake a project in the next month or so, and
build an
outdoor
cat house with an attached cat enclosure. I priced cat enclosures
(Suncatcher
Enclosures...$2000!!!) and most that I've found online are too
expensive.
I
can
build something, but would really like everyone's input on building
this
type of
fenced structure or on building a cat house. I am looking at
constructing
a
wood shed, with windows, on a concrete (sealed) foundation. I'm
not afraid
of
hard work, but not sure where to start.
Any thoughts? Resources I can look at that are affordable?
Thank you!
Wendy
