Kerbl Rustica Cat House, 57 x 45 x 43 cm

Quick delivery and packaged extremely well. The wood is of an excellent quality, it’s finished very well and it smells lovely. All the pieces required were present with clear easy to follow instructions. It could be assembled alone but we did it together. We placed the house in a spot where it is sheltered from the strongest winds. We didn’t screw the roof down as being able to lift it up will make it easier for cleaning inside.I put some plastic sheeting on the base inside and put in a faux lambs wool blanket which I made. Sprinkled in a little bit of Catnip and the very first night our stray cat Bob used it. It had poured down and it was great he used it and felt safe and dry. We’re very happy 😊 He’s a big cat and he fits in with no problems.I would personally highly recommend this product, easy to assemble, looks lovely and does a great job.

Delivery was fast, when i opened it all exited for my cats for when they spend the nights out no where to be found to get in, so atleast they had somewhere to go and to be warm from the rain and wind. It came very cheaply made, with afew tores on the woods. Once build it's not very sturdy, should be cheaper than what i paid. I'm not sending it back because i need it right now for my cats for the bad weather... ( that's if it does keep it all out for then, we shall soon see) i think this would have been a cheap and cheerful wood house for the cats but it's not cheap and it's not even cheerful... i would think about paying alittle more for something better..

Very pleased with purchase. Arrived safely on time. Easy to construct, appears sturdy and of reasonable size for m visiting stray cat. I Will varnish prior to putting outside. Good value for money.

This was so easy to put together. The wood is of a very good quality. Bought for the stray cat who has adopted me, she is not ready to come into the house yet. Took her 10 mins to find her new house and snuggle down.

Only small kittens will be able to fit inside. Very small entrance.

Got this for the stray cat that meows every morning and night at our back door. Very thin. We feed her but can't adopt her as we have a female indoor cat. Concerned about her over winter so figured an outdoor cat box would help her with a cosy blanket.Starting with positives. It's a good size for an average 5 to 7kg cat. It's reasonably cheap.Negatives:Weak construction. Wouldn't last a single northern winter. You'll need to wood treat it with something that doesn't make the cat sick. I used an all natural wax based treatment.It will be drafty and cold. The floor has large gaps between the panels. The wood is very thin. You'll need to apply an internal covering of bubble wrap foil or similar like I did. Keep the draft out and insulate.It is too close to the floor. Rain splash will get underneath and saturate the underside. You'll need to raise it up on rubber blocks like I did. Another 2 inches should help. The above foil bubble wrap will also help keep the wet out.In the end I did all the above and put next to the house south wall opposite the internal radiator so that should help keep it warmer in winter. Thick cosy blanket added.Note also the there are no pilot holes to line up with from some parts of the structure so you'll need to wing it. Also note the holes in the roof to screw it on were misaligned with the rest of the structure it was screwing into. I had to redrill and fill the old holes with sealant.Not a big deal for me as an accomplished professional all discipline engineer. But for most folk you will be better off with another product to avoid the total faff.

As soon as the delivery driver handed the box over I could hear multiple pieces rattling around inside. Opening the outer cardboard box, inside multiple pieces were broken in multiple ways. From both the feet being smashed off one of the sides, to a slice of wood stripped off another, plastic shards all over. There was absolutely no care taken in the packing of this. No padding, just everything thrown in a box. I immediately took photos, taped it back up, then took it to my local drop off point for a return.Just as a compare point. That day I looked for another cat house, cause I needed to get one. I grabbed a different brand from another site, and when it got delivered it was like night and day. There was polystyrene top, bottom, edges and in between keeping everything safe and secure, all the pieces were pristine and unbroken and the wood was better quality.10/10 would not recommend this house, yes you might get lucky and have everything arrived intact, but the way it's thrown together shows a lack of care taken with the product.

really little and light ideal on a a patio for my cat
