The 10 Best Cat Playpens

“Very happy with the product. I ordered this yesterday mid morning and by the time I got home from work today it was by my door. The expected shipping and delivery said 2 days but I was happy when it only took one (and we live in Vermont, almost all of our deliveries from other places takes a day or two extra than the predicted time). So I went on to look for something to use in the meantime. I set it up immediately, in my living room to get the cats use to it and to make sure it worked well. My cats loved it. Super easy to set up and to zip the tunnel to the tent was easier than it sounds. My grey cat went right in and brought his toy. Our orange cat who is scared of his own shadow went in when he saw his brother in it. They played pretty hard inside and it held them in. Obviously no toy is indestructible and cats can eventually break through the mesh but with monitoring it should work well and last more than long enough for us to get our money's worth. Our orange cat is a little bit of a fool and couldn't figure out that he could come out through the tunnel so he walked into the walls a few times but he eventually figured it out. We tried it out outside and they loved laying in the sun. We walk them with harnesses and leashes so when we have them in the tent we will have the harnesses on them and be monitoring them just in case they find a way to break free but I don't expect there to be any issues. And the tent is bigger than I thought it would be From looking at the dimensions online. I could easily sit in the tent with both cats if I wanted to. And we have one 10lb cat and one 18lb cat. The tent has a carry/storage bag and the tent has its own carry/storage bag which makes storing and carrying it so easy! Honestly we were planning a catio eventually but that takes time to build and is expensive. Had never considered a tent until we had the need to have the cats out of the house for a few hours soon that led me to purchasing this. I love that it's lightweight and easily taken apart and put back up. As long as my cats don't break the mesh netting I'd say it's a comparable alternative to a catio.”

“For Fostering Kittens. I would highly recommend the largest size of this playpen for fostering kittens. When you account for the space that a litter box (or 2) and food/water dishes take up, the largest size is definitely necessary. I know this because I originally got the 42 inch one and it wasn’t large enough for the 6-8 week old kittens who need space to run around and play without stumbling in their food, water, and litter. The zip top is so handy and very useful when fostering kittens. It allows you to be able to play with wand toys from above and to clean much easier. It is easy to clean, easy to transport, and very durable.”

“Absolutely The Best. I needed this Playpen rather quickly because I found in my backyard 4 kittens & the mom. I needed to rescue them. With the help of a friend we got them all in the playpen where they were save and secure. I was able to feed them, gave them water and clean their litter box with no problem. This item was so easy to put up and was definitely a lifesaver. Excellent, excellent delivery. Thank You.”

“This Frisco Mesh Outdoor Pop Up Cat Tent is a definite must have for cat owner that has a cat that likes outdoor time. Let me first state that this thing is huge! I was hugely surprised with how big it is. The main tent is big enough for my 6 and 7 year old to fit in together. It is very easy to set up. I was able to do it by myself. There is a tunnel on it that has a closed end that you can unzip to make an open end. My cats really enjoyed playing with this pop up tent and so did my kids. So I would definitely recommend any cat owner get one.”

“good playpen. This playpen is a good buy. I wish it was offered with more panels. Very sturdy, easiest thing to assemble. Great for indoors or out.”

“Frisco Pop-up Fun. This mesh outdoor pop-up playpen and tunnel is one of the coolest things I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning and our cats are completely thankful! I love the leaf print and it folds down and into a matching bag! Easy storage! I also love that there is options for outside but it works inside as well on the not so nice weather days. It’s a great size at a whopping 3 ft in length and 2 ft high! It also gives our cats some enrichment and fun exploring!”
