Precautions
Consult your veterinarian before use with young puppies/kittens, convalescent pets, during surgery/surgery recovery, or any animal that cannot voluntarily remove themselves from the heated pad. K&H recommends using only the Deluxe Lectro-Kennel Heated Pad for these animals as this pad has an adjustable thermostat. Do not place pad in confined area where the pet does not have the ability to remove themselves from the pad. Always allow your pet enough space to be able choose if they want to rest on the pad or off the pad.
Instructions
Wash the faux fleece cover on the gentle cycle with cold water, then line dry.
The heated pad can be cleaned using a damp towel or sponge and mild dish washing detergent. DO NOT wash in a washing machine.
The shell is hand washable. Please DO NOT try to wash it in a washing machine. To hand wash, use a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Please make sure to rinse extremely well as detergent can get trapped in the nylon fabric.

FAQ
Which bed is included with the Mod Thermo-Kitty Shelter?
This product includes the 9" x 12" Small Animal Heated Pad.
What are the walls made of?
The walls are made of 600 denier nylon with a vinyl backing that makes them waterproof and capable of withstanding snow.
How thick are the walls on this product?
The walls are 3/8" thick.
How does the door flap attach?
The door flap adheres to the inside of the shelter with hook & loop material. Cats can push their way through the door flap easily since it's not heavy.
What size is the door opening?
The door opening has a 7 inch diameter.
How do I line up the 2 sides of the zipper?
Here is a snapshot photo showing how to line up the 2 sides of the zipper. Once you have started the zipper, please continue following the directions.
Can I put your regular outdoor heating pad in this shelter instead of the one that comes with it? I'm concerned that the one that only heats half of the pad won't be warm enough in below zero weather.
All of our heating pads warm to 102°F when in use, regardless of size. A larger heating pad will not make the shelter warmer because the heat is not radiant. The animal stays warm by making direct contact with the heat source.This product is designed for the included pad and we would not recommend trying to fit one of our larger pads inside. If you’d like a house with a heating pad that covers the entire floor, please look at our Outdoor Kitty House and Multi-Kitty A-Frame.
How many door openings are there, 1 or 2?
This product has a front door but does not have a rear door. If you’d prefer a shelter with 2 doors, please look at our Outdoor Kitty House and Multi-Kitty A-Frame.

Won't this product blow around outside since it's so light once the cat leaves?

The K&H Pet Products Mod Thermo-Kitty Shelter weighs 6 pounds and stands up to rain, snow and harsh weather conditions.
Is the heating pad on and running when plugged in or only when the cat lays on it
Answer by • Dec 11, 2017
Allow 1 - 2 hours for the heated pad to warm. The unit will feel slightly warm to the touch. When an animal lies on the pad, it will reach a maximum temperature of approximately 102° F. The built-in thermostat will automatically regulate the temperature.
Most heating pads have a switch off timed feature of up to 60 minutes or 2 hours. What is the switch off time for this one? Or does it stay on continuously? I need a heating pad that will not shut off because I am going out of town. The one I have now shuts off every 2 hours
Answer by • Nov 21, 2018
There is not an off/on switch. The pad is always on when plugged in. MET Safety Laboratories suggests unplugging the bed if you leave your home on an extended vacation, as they do with any electrical appliance. Otherwise, it is designed for 24/7 operation and you can leave it plugged in all day.
Can I put this inside an outdoor dog house? Will it get to hot?
Answer by • Nov 13, 2019
As long as the space offers ventilation, placing this kitty shelter inside of an outdoor dog house should make a dry, warm oasis from the cold for your cats.
I bought this for stray cats in my neighborhood. Problem is the strays won't go into it. So I put it out on my screened-in patio for my own cats...all 4 use it from time to time.

It works.
The shelter works well. I put it inside a plastic storage bin and placed a make-shift "porch roof" over entrance to keep rain away from entrance since it has to be on an exposed deck. I can't actually tell if the heating element works because it's in back of shelter and cat never goes to the back. Cat only goes inside when weather several degrees below freezing and also only after I added self-warming pad at front entrance.

Works Purrrfectly
I purchased this for our older chihuahua who is always cold. I thought this would be the perfect solution without realizing he doesn't really like to go "in" things. The zipper...pick the person in the house with the smallest hands to do this, after it connects, easy up! It really does stay nice and warm. We won't be able to use it but I have a friend with a small dog who does like going in, so she will take it. I highly recommend this item especially if using outdoors.

I bought this for my feral cat. Temps were below zero and she was OK. It is under a porch not exposed to wind or weather

Happy Cat!
We have a Ferral cat that lives in our barn. The outside Temp has been in the low teens the past week. The cat
loves the shelter and stays inside and makes happy sounds when we come close. The shelter zips together in
minutes. A great value!!

managing the zipper
If your relationship with your significant other is solid, you'll get through this ok. If not, find someone else to help you go through the contortions needed to zip this together. Once done, you have a really nice cat shelter.

Mz, Currie loves it !!!!!
Mz. Currie Cat loves it ! She does not like being inside for more than 30 seconds , so this is perfect. The person that she owns removed the plastic door so now she is happy.

Little House on the Bluegrass
This is a great house! Sits on my front porch so I didn't want a huge structure. Best part is that when the winter really gets going, I can replace the half-heated flooring with my serious K&H hard floor heating pad that I already have. I swear by K&H (and Chewy, too!)

Our Neighborhood Cat Loves It!
Once zipped together (a little difficult), this shelter is great. The heating element works well, the cord is of ample length, and it is sturdy. The neighborhood wandering cat went in immediately and stayed for hours.
