And strays are wary. Sited properly — up against the house, doors facing away from the wind, somewhere you can see from a window — most cats move in within a week; the shy ones can take two. Three things make more difference than anything else, and all of them are free: a good double handful of straw on the floor (straw, not hay, and never a blanket — a wet blanket freezes), her food and water a few steps away rather than inside, and the flaps pinned open for the first few days with a pinch of catnip inside so she can see straight through. Late September into October is the best time of year to put one out, while strays are still choosing where to spend the winter. And on cold mornings, bang on the hood of your car before you start it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"prod-h2\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"prod-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600D Oxford canvas with PVC coating — 100% waterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInsulation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInsulating foam plus a reflective aluminum lining on all six sides (walls, roof, floor), sewn in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 cat house with two fitted foil-lined flaps · steel stand · Carol’s Porch Card\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize M (one cat)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.2 × 15.7 × 19.7 in (36 × 40 × 50 cm) · cats up to 22 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize L (two cats)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.7 × 17.7 × 21.6 in (40 × 45 × 55 cm) · cats up to 33 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEntrances\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo, each about 6 in across — hooded foil-lined flap at the front, foil curtain at the side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder-coated steel frame, a little over 5 in off the ground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePitched, overhanging the walls so water runs clear of the doors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone needed — no cord, no outlet, nothing to chew, nothing to overheat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack · Slate Grey · Pine Green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSiting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAgainst the house wall on a porch, deck or yard — doors away from the wind, within sight of a window\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWipe clean; change the straw every few weeks or whenever it gets damp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-sewn by Carol Jennings in Two Harbors, Minnesota\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrice \u0026amp; shipping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$69 · ready to ship in 1–2 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinal run — 112 only, no restock · 4.9 ★ from 1,240 review\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BACKROAD GOODS","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59286223651164,"sku":null,"price":61.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":59286223683932,"sku":null,"price":61.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green","offer_id":59286223716700,"sku":null,"price":61.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/4081\/9292\/files\/hf_20260926_113354_01bb3584-9263-49cc-b6cd-792d0837f250.png?v=1790423417","url":"https:\/\/backroad-goods.com\/products\/carols-cat-shelter","provider":"BACKROAD GOODS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
