I do kitten rescue would this be strong enough for 6 to 8 kittens, they would not be outdoors in evening, just during the day in good weather

Yes, it will be strong enough. However, the floor on the upper level is metal (its a pull out tray) not sure if they would like walking on that.
1985542
Yes it would be strong enough for kittens. Even during night if you had a lamp in it. We took the very top off placed a heating lamp in it and screwed the top back on. Tight enough to hold cord in place.

Absolutely! A great, safe enclosure for kittens. Large enough for one or more litter boxes as well. We use ours for bunnies and separated ours down the middle for two quarters. Still plenty big and we got such a great price on ours. I put mine outside under an eve in the shade on cut rubber stall mats for horses. Love it!

Laura,I think if you added some additional latches on the doors so the kittens don't bail out of the top doors. I'd put some bricks or something around the base in case they dig around the base.
1985545
Yes. The coop would be strong enough to hold them in, however they will be a bit cramped. I guess it depends on how old (large) the kittens are.

It's strong enough... very well made.... but I don't know that it would be big enough.... not much room to for them to play. We have it as a chicken/duck pen for six chickens and four ducks.... works great for them to be in at night but we let them out to roam around during the day.

Yes. I would say this is strong enough for small kittens. As I've mentioned in another post on this item, I recommend replacing the wooden door stops with latches if you really intend to KEEP something inside and not escape. I also added a wire mesh bottom to mine (comes open). I tried keeping my rabbits in it on dirt without the wire mesh, and they dug under and out the very first night.

I only used it to house an older cat, I do think that newborn kittens could possibly escape and as they got older could probably stick their little heads through and get stuck, I suggest maybe contacting the manufacturer for better info, I hope I was able to help.

Seems like it would. The width may be more. I've ordered 4 of these and they're great. point them up at a tree and also up at fence line for my cats. They do seem to go off around 11; thought they'd stay on longer. we're in N. FL and think I notice it more because of daylight s.time.

Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts. I might cover the bottom with soft blankets or something just in case they fall from the top (if they are climbers.) Some cats prefer different materials, but any cat can be trained not to scratch things as long as they have something they can. They do make kitten claw covers (soft paws, I think.) You have to trim the nails, then you basically glue these caps onto their nails. They should last until the claw's sheath comes off, which is natural. The time that takes can vary. I heard they usually last about a month. Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts.

I have to 12# cats, they get in and out just fine. As long we they are not terribly tall, it should be good. &#128522;

Hello Bryan Paul I would say no because it is not weather treated and may warp and not be sturdy. After a blowing rain if you do just for when,you need it not to be left out there cats like to scratch and Sun warping might happen

Yes as long as its near something sturdy so that the kitten won't be able to knock it over while inside.

The stuff is strong enough to hold up to kitty claws, but the support wires are weak and so if any cat or kitten jumps on it from the outside that part will collapse. The bottom is canvas but it is not zipped and it's held on by velcro tabs. My kitten was able to figure out how to get out of it after one day.

I've had kittens that climbed up my drapes and got into everything. I think it depends on the activity level of the kittens. I think if a kitten wanted to, it would climb out. I've also had puppies climb out of these pens.
1554877
I think so. It's large enough for a cat. My friend borrowed mine to catch kittens she saw were motherless so she could find other homes for them. Try putting some tuna in it. Good luck.

Well my kitten is 6 lbs and it's fine. My 40 lbs dog can easily stick his head in when playing with the kitten. I would think a 10lbs cat would be great with it. Really Good Product.

It is good for young kittens but once they learn to climb you need something like chicken wire over the top... Then they are safe to play outside and you can get done whats needed without worry

This certainly doesn't seem too strong for my baby tortoises, which were overwintered indoors. I've got a pretty similar size and construction of enclosure, with a "cave" and a timer setting the on time to about daylight length. They spend some daytime in the "cave" but they are out more and more as we get toward summer.

I found it to be great for kittens. For a puppy, I would be a little concerned about their claws and their activity level. I really like this product for what I needed it for.

Not adequately. I personally would not use these in an area where there is poor weather. They have doors on both front and back, and have to be plugged in as well. One of my kitties is big, and her rear sticks out the back. These are really small. Kitties cannot stretch out in them. I can tell you that if you get a good quality Styrofoam ice chest, tape the top to the bottom, cut a small door and put in a blanket, that will insulate the kitty and keep them warm. I know many of the shelters in our area are doing this. You may even be able to get a few from your local shelters. Our give them away here to those wanting to help. Hope that helps :) Not adequately. I personally would not use these in an area where there is poor weather. They have doors on both front and back, and have to be plugged in as well.

I think so. I had one kitten in it and the bars were never a problem. If you are looking for a cage for your kitten or cat, I think this will work well. My only complaint was my plastic tray at the bottom of the cage came with a crack in it so I taped it on top and bottom. So far it's fine.

From what I know of kittens they love places they can climb. A kitten would love this as their home but would also want something inside to climb up and down. Something not taller than 20" would be great and have I inside here and this would be a great play ground for a kitten with an item to go up and down and toys to play with also. Note the kitten will also try to climb the upper area zipped shut too probably and fall down so aren't you glad it is only 25" total high. Have a great time watching and playing with your kitten. Be sure to take pictures too. You may win a contest!!! From what I know of kittens they love places they can climb.
