Review on 🏠 Petmate Aspen Pet Petbarn Dog House: All-Weather Shelter with Raised Floor, Easy Assembly, Multicolor Design by Jacob Mendoza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Porch Cat Approved!

This is the second one we have bought - the older one is about ten years old and still like new. They are made of thick, heavy plastic that won't become brittle or crack in the cold. They're easy to clean and extremely weather-resistant, although as other reviewers point out, they're not waterproof unless you tape off the four latch slots and cover the vent on the back of the roof. Texas, but as you get used to the 60's and 70's until the day winter decides to roll in and brings with it its 20's and 30's, a warm, dry, sheltered den for protection from the cold, damp, and Wind a life saver. We have both animal pens on a covered porch with wind-facing entrances. With a thick layer of hay inside and a heat-reflective pet pad, our two ex-porch feral cats (neutered, vaccinated and chipped) think they're the best thing since canned cat food. As soon as the sun goes down, they settle into their cat houses and only leave them at dawn. They need some sort of padding underneath and the heat reflective pet pad is a definite plus. Until you hit them with a tractor, they'll last forever. UPDATE AUGUST 15-17: Bought a third one for our last housecat so she can give birth to her kittens. Attention stray cats - thank you for your interest, but we are no longer accepting applications for the "porch cat" position.
