I am fostering 4 kittens, 4 weeks old. Can they get out between the bars?

I'm not sure about a 4 week old kitten. They might be able to get their heads in between the bars. My cat was 4 months old when I got this kitty condo, which I still use every day to contain my very active cat while I am away at work. I would wait awhile for a kitten that young.

I found this one hard to clean. I don't have it anymore. with that small a kitten I would not use a crate, I'd use a box a deep cardboard box. Then I would get the tall crate with three levels and four doors that open from the sides.

I would say yes, these are built very strong, but I used zip ties to secure all the sides to the top and to each other. That improved overall stability. The bars are close together. This brand is superior to others.

The bars are one inch on center; so the opening between them is slightly less. They are quite rigid. I don't the size of a four week old kitten. Hope this helps.

No, I had a kitten that was so small I had to bottle feed her. The bars are 1 inch apart.

no the bars are not very far apart. I have used it many time for my foster kittens although for very small kittens or older cats you might want to get the ramp kit so they can get to the other levels

The distance between the posts (horizontal bars) is 2 7/8 inches. So I guess it would depend on the size of your cats. We are using it to keep the grandchildren from tumbling down the basement stairs, but we mounted it high enough off the floor so that our cats could get under it to have access to their basement catboxes.

Absolutely can not use the litter box with them on. But that's a great thing because they work :). We keep the litter box in the unfinished part of the basement and take our cat down every 5-6 hours. We leave him down there so he can go as he pleases then re diaper him so he can have run of the house :)

The spacing betwteen the bars is 2 1/4" to 2 1/2". we use the gate to limit our cats access to part of the house.

They are 1 1/4" apart. We have a cat and got this when he was still a kitten, only 7 weeks old, and we have had no issues with him getting stuck. Now that he's older though he can get in and out as he pleases to play with our puppies.

It's about 2inches wide between each bar, and I also have a kitten and she slips through the bars constantly. She can also jump over them.

The gap between the bars is about 3/4 inch. Seems it would have to be a very skinny and nimble rat to escape. Plenty of room; ours houses a chincilla

I bought this to keep my 2 Siamese mix kittens contained when we were coming in and out of the garage with our cars. They are indoor/outdoor cats. When they were small they couldn't climb out. As they grew we had to place a weighted piece of cardboard on top to keep them from jumping out. The walls are quite tall, but we had a climbing tree in there that they could climb to the top of to get out. Once they became "car smart" we no longer needed the cage. We also used it a bit outside in the beginning. This cage comes with anchors that you could use to secure to the lawn.

No - good cage for a cat, except we cannot figure how to take it apart. Either it was put together incorrectly or there is a serious design flaw. I would suggest putting something solid along any cage's sides (maybe 12 inches - just to be safe for the kittens tiny paws). Thankyou for helping with the babies . Pat

Our cat can't, she's full grown. They aren't very wide slots. The only way is maybe a tiny kitten

Hi, no he climbs them alot and goes across them hanging by his little front paws like he's on monkey bars but never tries to escape. He can't even if he tried cuz the bars are to close together. The only way he could get out is if I left the door open by accident. Also like the last person said. I did when I put the cage together use small black plastic pull ties and pull the sides together real tight then cut the ends off and they hardly show but it made the cage that much more safe for my critters. Have a great day.

A larger cat can have plenty of room. A kitten might be able to get out of openings.

Hello. We have three Budgies in this cage and are very happy with it. I measured the spacing between the bars to be 5/8" so there are absolutely no concerns about the birds either getting out or getting trapped. Hope this helps.

No Not at all. I had 4 LB Kittens and they were not comfortable with it. It is way to small even for Kittens. It is not made well at all either. I would not recommend this one.

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.

Perhaps a kitten could fit, but not an adult cat. The bars are only 2-1/2" apart. Even a slender cat's head won't fit through. It's also too high for them to jump. I love it! To me this gate is perfect for small animal separation, but I don't know that I would trust it to keep a child contained, unless you use the mounting cups. The pressure installation just isn't sturdy enough for that.

Yes they can. The lower platforms are set up in a way that your cats can jump from them to the house.
