Rockever Outdoor Cat House,Outdoor cat Houses for Feral Cats Weatherproof Rabbit Hutch Small, Wooden Small Pet House and Habitats-Grey with Mat

We bought this for a few barn cats outside that I have a soft spot for. For the price, the materials are solid. It's got an actual asphalt roof, good solid trim, decent thickness wood pieces and a few vinyl strips on the front door to keep it warm. Took a day or so but the cats love it, and the included ramp is pretty neat. I keep an old blanket inside of it which is easily swapped out due to the lid having a sturdy hinge that opens the whole roof for cleaning. There were zero chemical smells (honestly it smells like red cedar) and took about 5-10 minutes to build with a Phillips screwdriver. I'd absolutely recommend it!

I was super impressed when I opened the box! Everything was made so easy to put together! Down to the detail of the little heart to hold the door closed when not using!! Very reasonably priced as well!!

Had a hard time rating this as I got what I thought I would, but really wish quality was better for the price. Purchased as a sheltered area for food & water for my spoiled indoor/outdoor cats. As soon as I opened the box my suspicion that it was not in fact water-resistant (let alone waterproof) was confirmed. The wood is "stained" with some watered down flat paint and there are definitely spaces that water could hang out and rot the top. Shingle top kept shedding every time it got touched. With several clear coats brushed on & the roof sprayed, I am somewhat hopeful this might last a few years.100% could have made something much sturdier myself, just don't have the time right now.As for the smell other reviews mention...meh, I mean yes it smelled strongly but the strongest scent was the fir wood and yes there was some paint smell as well. I wasn't planning on using it immediate upon opening so that didn't bother me, besides the clear coats I put on smelled more.

Perfect size for the local stray cat. Very sturdy and easily assembled but I left off the ramp and door flap since it is under a porch with a roof. No issues so far with any water or snow getting in.Top hinges up and makes it very easy to clean.Sufficient room inside to mount a baby monitor camera in the corner.Excellent value for the price. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.

Easy to put together. Well designed.Fair price point

I love this cat house but if you live in colder temperatures you need to insulate it.

All good

If the price of lumber wasn't so astronomically high in my area, I would have just made a wooden shelter myself.This thing has a lot of problems. Split boards, missing hardware, floor is 1-1/2" - 2" too short so now you need to fill a big gap.Rooftop is misaligned, roof hinges are a nightmare and finally..... why spray the shelter with this fake cedar perfume?I don't like writing these reviews but I don't want someone else to spend their money, especially in these times with inflation, on a shelter like this.With cold weather approaching and new animals on the property I wanted a few more shelters before the cold got here.The wood is ultra light and has split boards in the areas where the factory drilled holes or used screws.Pre drilled holes are not lining up properly and takes some effort to drop the bolts into place.The floor comes as a one piece part but it also has a massive gap once its in place. This definitely needs to be filled in with some foam insulation or towels.The rooftop is my biggest complaint overall.There is a area that was pre-notched out by the factory for the hinges but it was notched on the wrong side.This created two big issues.One being that it requires you to add spacers underneath it so the roof hinges properly.Two being, If you use the hinges as is, and in the designated notched area, it shifts your roof forward so much, that rain gets inside.(why not just draw some lines where the hinge should sit as a guide like was done with the metal roof prop?)Maybe this sounds a bit like "nit picking" but I feel that if you spend this kind of money on something it shouldn't have this many quality control issues.Now I need to travel to a home improvement center to buy more items. Other wise this thing will rot away in no time with all the rain we get.Why can I smell the cedar perfume through the shipping box? I know this isn't cedar wood because the wood characteristics are not right. Cedar also doesn't have layers to the scent, this smells mostly of cedar but with a hint of musk which makes me think this is a perfume of some sort or a chemical made to smell like cedar. its overpowering and will need to air out for a few days before the animals will even come close to it.Maybe I got a lemon, who knows, but I'll go back to the company I used previously. They also had some issues but nothing like this.I would have never allowed this to ship out to a customer the way this was.

Relativement facile à assembler. J'ai demandé de l'aide à quelqu'un pour maintenir certains morceaux en place pendant que je vissais. J'ai ajouté de l'isolant mou en aluminium dans le fond et tout autour et j'ai fixé une lumière (baladeuse de mécanicien) à l'intérieur. J'ai temporairement retiré le panneau transparent à l'entrée parce que les chats ne voulaient pas y aller... Je verrai à le remettre en place éventuellement.
